How to write a payment reminder that gets paid

  1. Say exactly what is owed. The amount, what it is for and the invoice number or month: "Rs 25,000 for the October website work (invoice #104)".
  2. Ask for one thing with a date. "Could you please send it by Friday?" works better than "please pay soon".
  3. Make paying easy. Add your bank account, IBAN, JazzCash / Easypaisa or UPI ID in the same message so they don't have to ask.
  4. Start friendly, then get firmer. First reminder: "just a friendly reminder". Later ones: say calmly what happens next ("I will have to pause work"). Never insult or threaten.
  5. Don't apologise for asking. "Sorry to disturb you" weakens the message. "I hope you're well" is enough.
  6. Avoid literal translations. "Payment kab tak aayegi?" is "Could you let me know when I can expect the payment?", not "When payment will come?"

Questions

How do I politely remind a client about payment?

Mention the invoice and amount, ask for payment by a specific date and thank them, e.g. "Hi, just a friendly reminder that invoice #104 for Rs 25,000 is now due. Could you please arrange it by Friday? Thank you." Keep the first reminder short and friendly.

When should I send a second payment reminder?

A common pattern is a friendly reminder on or just after the due date, a second one about a week later, and a firmer one after another week. Each time, give a new clear date.

Is it OK to send a payment reminder on WhatsApp?

Yes, if that is how you normally talk to the client or customer. For companies, or for large amounts, email is better because it keeps a written record with the invoice attached. Use the WhatsApp / Email switch above.

What is the English for "payment abhi tak nahi aayi"?

"I haven't received the payment yet." A polite full version: "I wanted to check on the payment, as I haven't received it yet. Could you please confirm when it will be sent?"

Can Likho write the reminder in Arabic or French?

Yes. Pick Arabic, French, Russian or Dutch under "Send in" and the reminder is written in that language, which helps if your client is in the Gulf or Europe.
