Invoicing & Payments
How Invoicing and Text-to-Pay Work in NextTyr
This is the detail page for the billing itself — the how, not the pitch. When a job wraps in NextTyr, you send a branded invoice from your phone, the customer pays from a text link, and five polite reminders chase anything overdue for you, with every payment settling into your own Stripe account. Here’s exactly what happens at each step — how the invoice gets built, how the customer pays, how recurring billing runs, and how the numbers reach your accountant. For the full overview — the category, comparisons, and where it fits — see the invoicing software page it links to below, and the text-to-pay deep-dive for the payment mechanic up close.
A branded invoice from your phone, the moment the work’s done
The best time to invoice is while the work is still fresh — not three days later from a laptop you finally opened. With NextTyr, you send a clean, itemized invoice from your phone before the customer’s out the door, carrying your business name and logo so it looks like it came from a business twice your size.
When the customer pays, a receipt sends itself to both of you. Need to make it right on a rare bad day? Refunds are one click, not a support ticket.
- Branded invoices sent from your phone in under a minute
- Automatic receipts to you and your customer on every payment
- One-click refunds when you need to make something right
Text-to-pay, step by step
When you send an invoice, the customer receives a text with a secure payment link. They tap it, a Stripe checkout opens in their browser, they enter a card, and the invoice is settled — often before you’ve left the driveway. A receipt lands with both of you the moment it clears. There’s no account for them to create and no app to install; the link is the whole experience, and the money settles into your own Stripe account rather than routing through us.
That single tap is why a texted link tends to move faster than a PDF sitting in an inbox. The mechanic has its own deep-dive — how it works, why it collects, and the security and etiquette questions owners ask — on the dedicated text-to-pay page.
Overdue money gets chased automatically — politely
The awkward part of billing isn’t sending the invoice. It’s the third reminder call to a customer you like. NextTyr handles it for you: overdue invoices get walked through five polite reminder stages, automatically, so the follow-up happens without you writing a single uncomfortable message.
Your dashboard shows every open invoice and everything collected, so you always know where your cash flow stands — no mental math, no shoebox of paper, no wondering who still owes what.
- Five-stage overdue reminders that run without you
- A live view of open invoices and money collected
- You step in only when a personal call actually matters
Recurring billing, clean books, and your own Stripe account
If you bill the same customers on a schedule — a monthly maintenance plan, a weekly standing appointment, a retainer — recurring billing sends those invoices automatically, so steady revenue stops depending on your memory. A baker delivering standing wholesale orders and a coach billing monthly clients run on the same rails.
At tax time, nothing gets re-typed: export everything to QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, Wave, or Excel. And every payment settles directly into your own Stripe account — your money never sits in ours.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Customers tap the payment link in a text or email, pay by card through Stripe’s secure checkout, and they’re done. No account creation, no download, nothing standing between them and paying you.
