How to Set a Due Date and Payment Terms
Setting a clear due date tells your customer exactly when to pay and helps AstaBill flag overdue invoices automatically.
Setting a clear due date tells your customer exactly when to pay. It also helps AstaBill know when to flag an invoice as overdue so you can follow up.
Steps:
- 1While creating your invoice, find the Due Date field.
- 2Click the calendar icon and select the date payment is expected.
- 3Alternatively, use the Payment Terms dropdown to choose a standard term.
- 4AstaBill will calculate and fill the due date automatically based on the term you pick.
- 5You can also type a short note in the Terms & Notes field — e.g. "50% deposit required before work begins."
Payment terms available:
- Due on receipt — customer should pay immediately
- Net 7 — payment due 7 days from invoice date
- Net 14 — payment due 14 days from invoice date
- Net 30 — payment due 30 days from invoice date
Tip: Net 7 or Net 14 works well for most Ghanaian small businesses. Net 30 is more common when invoicing large companies or international clients.
