Invoicing Software
Invoicing Software That Chases Its Own Money
Send a branded invoice from the job, get paid by a text link, and let polite reminders chase whatever goes overdue — invoicing wired to the phone and booking that created the job, so it already knows the customer.
The invoice is the easy part. Getting paid is where the money quietly goes missing — the invoice you meant to send from the laptop three nights ago, the customer who “didn’t get it,” the balance you keep meaning to follow up on. Most invoicing software for small business stops the moment the invoice is sent and leaves the chasing to you. NextTyr’s invoicing keeps working after send: a branded invoice goes out from your phone the minute the job is done, the customer pays from a text link into your own Stripe account, receipts send themselves, and anything overdue gets walked through five polite reminders on its own. And because it lives in the same system that answered the call and booked the job, the invoice already knows who the customer is and what the work was — no re-typing a name into a separate billing app.
We build it free. You only pay if you keep it.
- Invoice from the jobSend a clean, branded, itemized invoice from your phone before you leave the driveway — not from a laptop days later.
- Paid by textThe customer taps a text link and pays by card through Stripe’s secure checkout — no account, no app, no friction.
- Chases itselfOverdue balances get five polite reminders, from three days before due to fourteen after, without you writing one.
- Money is yoursEvery payment settles straight into your own Stripe account — NextTyr never holds your money.
Invoicing software that keeps working after you hit send
A standalone invoicing app treats “sent” as the finish line. But sent is where the waiting starts — and waiting is where a receivable turns into a bad debt you finally write off. The part that actually gets you paid is everything that happens after the invoice leaves your hands, and that’s the part most tools leave to you.
NextTyr’s invoicing is built for the after. The moment you send, the customer can pay from a text link. Receipts fire to both of you the instant they do. If the balance goes past due, five polite reminders go out on a schedule — spaced from three days before the due date to fourteen after — so the follow-up you dread happens without you writing an uncomfortable message. You step in only on the rare invoice where a personal call is actually worth your time.
- A branded, itemized invoice sent from your phone in under a minute
- Automatic receipts to you and the customer on every payment
- Five-stage overdue reminders that run on their own — you write none of them
The invoice already knows the customer — because it’s wired to the phone and the booking
Here’s the gap generic invoicing software can’t close: it wasn’t there when the job started. You booked the work in one app, did it, then opened a separate billing tool and typed the customer’s name, number, and job details in all over again — a second entry, a second chance to fat-finger a total or an email.
NextTyr invoicing is part of the same system that answered the call, captured the lead, and booked the visit. So when the work’s done, the invoice draws on a customer record that already exists — the contact, the history, what was quoted, what was scheduled. One record carries the job from first ring to final payment, and the invoice is just the last step on a thread you never had to re-type.
- Invoices built from the customer record the call and booking already created
- The whole job on one thread — lead, quote, appointment, invoice, payment
- No re-keying a customer into a separate app just to bill them
Online invoicing that gets you paid by text, not by “the check’s in the mail”
Nobody carries a checkbook anymore, and “I’ll mail it” is where money goes to die. Online invoicing only earns its keep if paying is the easiest thing the customer does all day — and the easiest thing anyone does on a phone is tap a link. That’s text-to-pay: the invoice arrives as a text, the customer taps, pays by card through Stripe’s secure checkout, and you’re done. No account to create, no app to download, nothing standing between them and paying you.
Businesses tend to collect faster when the payment step is a single tap instead of a trip to find the checkbook — that’s the whole reason to send a link instead of a PDF. Text-to-pay is the piece most owners feel first, so it has its own deep-dive on how the mechanic works and why it collects.
- Payment links sent by text — the customer pays in a tap, no login
- Card payments through Stripe’s secure, PCI-compliant checkout
- A live view of what’s invoiced, what’s paid, and what’s still open
Recurring billing for the customers you bill on a schedule
If you bill the same customers on a rhythm — a monthly maintenance plan, a standing weekly visit, a retainer — chasing each one by hand is exactly the revenue most likely to slip because you were busy. Recurring billing sends those invoices on schedule, so steady income stops depending on your memory. A landscaper on monthly lawn plans and a studio billing recurring members run on the same rails.
Everything else works the same way it does for a one-off: the customer pays from a text link, receipts send themselves, and overdue balances get chased for you. Predictable revenue, without a recurring reminder on your own calendar to go invoice it.
- Scheduled invoices for maintenance plans, retainers, and standing work
- The same text-to-pay and reminder flow as a one-off invoice
- One-click refunds when you need to make something right
Invoicing that gets you paid — and hands clean numbers to your accountant
NextTyr is invoicing, not bookkeeping, and we’re honest about the line. It gets you paid: invoices, text-to-pay, receipts, refunds, recurring billing, and the chasing. It does not keep your books, run payroll, or file your taxes — and it doesn’t pretend to. What it does is make sure your accountant’s software never has to be fed by hand.
Every invoice and payment exports cleanly to QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, Wave, or Excel, so at tax time nothing gets re-typed and your bookkeeper gets numbers that reconcile. You get the fastest path from finished job to money in your account; your accountant’s tools get clean data — each doing the job it’s actually good at.
- Exports to QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, Wave, and Excel
- Keeps your accountant’s tools fed without hand-entry
- Payments land in your own Stripe account, visible in Stripe and in NextTyr
Invoicing software vs. a standalone invoicing app
Most small businesses bolt a standalone invoicing app onto a pile of other tools. The difference isn’t the invoice — it’s everything wired around it.
| NextTyr invoicing | A standalone invoicing app | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the customer comes from | Already on the record from the call & booking | Typed in again by hand |
| How the customer pays | Taps a text link — no account | Emailed PDF, pay how they can |
| Overdue chasing | Five polite reminders, on their own | You remember to follow up |
| Recurring billing | Built in | Often a higher tier or add-on |
| Where the money lands | Your own Stripe account | Varies — sometimes held first |
| Rest of the business | Same system as phone, CRM, booking | One more app to reconcile |
