Payment Schedules

Yes. Payment schedules break one total into multiple installments, each a separate invoice with its own due date, for example a deposit at booking, a progress payment, and a balance before delivery. Two payments suit smaller sessions and three suit most weddings. You set the plan once at booking and it runs from there.

Each installment gets its own automatic reminders before its due date, so you stop chasing payments by hand. Clients receive professional reminders that link straight to the invoice, and when they pay, the invoice is marked paid and a receipt is sent automatically. Invoice and payment-schedule reminders are sent by Focus Flow Studio on their own schedule.

Clients pay online by card through Stripe, and the invoice is marked paid automatically the moment payment clears. You can also record payments received offline, such as cash or bank transfer, manually against the invoice. This makes payment plans work whether a client pays you online or in person, with every payment tracked in one place.

No. Once the schedule is set, each installment becomes its own invoice with a due date, and reminders send automatically before each one. Partial payments show the invoice as partially paid with the remaining balance tracked. For a commercial job you can also set custom milestones, like fifty percent upfront and fifty percent on delivery.
