01Problem

The part of freelancing nobody tells you about.

Getting the work done is the easy part. Getting paid is the awkward, draining, time-consuming part.

You send an invoice. You wait. A week goes by. You wonder if they got it, saw it, or ignored it. Then you write a polite follow-up email from scratch because you do not have a system.

This is not a cash-flow problem. It is a system problem.

02Workflow

What a real system looks like.

01

Create a clean invoice in under a minute

Add your client, line items, and due date. DueRoute creates the PDF and hosted invoice page.

02

Send it without a client login

Your client gets a professional email with the PDF attached and a link to view the invoice online.

03

Get paid without chasing

DueRoute tracks opens, flags overdue invoices, and sends polite reminders on your schedule.

Know immediately whether your client has seen it
Have overdue follow-ups happen automatically

05Questions

Common questions with short answers.

Does DueRoute replace my accounting software?+

No. DueRoute is invoice-only. Keep your accounting software for bookkeeping, expenses, and tax filing.

Can my client pay online?+

Yes. Connect Stripe for card payments, or accept payment by check, ACH, Venmo, cash, or anything else and mark the invoice paid manually.

How does DueRoute know when an invoice is opened?+

When your client visits the hosted invoice link, DueRoute records the view and updates the invoice status.

Do I have to use Stripe?+

No. Stripe is optional. You can send invoices and track payment manually without online payments enabled.
