The clause that gets invoices paid

15 Sep 2026 · Freelancer OS ($24) · buy with crypto $24 →

The cheapest invoice chase is the one that never happens. Put terms in the proposal before work starts: half upfront, balance on delivery, work pauses at 14 days overdue. Clients who balk are giving you free information about day 30.

Why pause beats plead

A pre-agreed pause isn't personal; it's the contract running. Enforcing an agreed clause is easy, inventing consequences mid-dispute is hard.

The pipeline beside the chase

Proposals, active work and unpaid invoices in one system — you can see next month's money while collecting this month's.
