ReqMe streamlines invoicing so you can bill clients and receive payments without leaving the platform. This guide covers creating invoices and accepting online payments.

Creating an Invoice #

From a request with a signed contract, click Create Invoice. ReqMe pulls pricing details from the contract to pre-populate line items.

Invoice Details #

Each invoice includes:

• Invoice number – you enter it yourself; an invoice cannot be sent without one
• Client information – Name, email, address
• Line items – Services, quantities, rates
• Subtotal, taxes, total – Calculated automatically
• Due date – When payment is expected
• Payment instructions – How to pay

Customizing Invoices #

Edit line items, adjust quantities, or add discounts before sending. You can also:

• Add notes or special instructions
• Attach files (receipts, documentation)
• Set the due date and payment terms

Sending Invoices #

Click Send Invoice to email the invoice to your client. They receive a link to view the invoice and, if you have connected a payment provider, pay it online.

Online payments #

When a payment provider is connected, clients see a Pay Now button on their invoice. ReqMe supports Stripe, PayPal, Paysera, Monobank and Mollie, and you can connect more than one — useful when you invoice clients in different countries. Funds go directly to your own account with that provider; ReqMe never holds them.

See Connecting a payment provider for what each one asks for, or Connecting Stripe for the Stripe-specific walkthrough.

Tracking Payment Status #

Monitor invoices from your dashboard:

• Draft – Not yet sent
• Sent – Awaiting payment
• Paid – Payment received
• Overdue – Past due date, unpaid

ReqMe updates status automatically when payments are processed through Stripe.

Due dates and reminders #

Give an invoice a due date and ReqMe chases it for you: reminders escalate as the date approaches and passes, then stop. They are on by default.

Switch them off on a particular invoice where chasing would be wrong — a client you have an arrangement with, or one you would rather call than email.

A due date is required before an invoice can be sent, so every invoice you send is eligible for reminders unless you switch them off for that one.

When a payment fails #

A failed payment is almost always the client’s card or bank rather than anything on your side. They can try again from the same invoice; nothing needs reissuing.

Partial and offline payments #

Where a client pays by bank transfer or in cash, mark the invoice paid yourself — ReqMe only sees payments that went through a connected provider.
