Money & collections

Know who owes you, and get it collected.

Collections lists every unpaid invoice, oldest first. Ava offers to remind each customer until they pay and stops the day they do. Money shows what came in. Until sending is on for your shop, every reminder waits in a queue you can read.

The Aestar app on a computer: Collections, where Ava offers to remind two unpaid invoices, $2,209, once a week until each is paid. Example shop.

Desert Demo Electric is a sample shop in the real Aestar app. Each reminder carries the invoice's pay link, so customers can pay by card right away.

Oldest first

Every unpaid invoice with what it's for and what's owed, the oldest at the top. Open the invoice, queue a reminder, or mark that you've reached the customer. A draft you haven't sent isn't counted, and never gets a reminder.

Collections in the Aestar app: Alex Quinn owes $229 for a GFCI outlet repair, 8 days, and Nate Ellison $1,980 for a garage subpanel, 2 days, each with Queue reminder, Mark contacted and Open. Example shop.

Reminders that stop when they pay

When invoices sit, Ava asks: two unpaid invoices, $2,209, remind them until paid? Pick how often, what hour, and text or email. She writes each reminder and stops the day it's paid.

Ava's offer in the Aestar app: 2 unpaid invoices, $2,209, remind them until paid? With the text as Alex Quinn would read it, choices for how often, what hour and text or email, and Yes, set it up. Example shop.

Each reminder links to the customer's own page for that invoice. Customers can pay by card right there.

What came in

Money shows what you've collected and what's still open, and Revenue adds it up by week or month.

Who you've already called

Called someone yourself? Mark them contacted, so the list shows who's been reached and who hasn't.

Questions

Money & collections questions.

Does Aestar text my customers about money?

Not yet. Ava writes each reminder and queues it. Texts go out once texting is approved for your shop. Until then you can read every queued reminder and send it yourself.

Will a customer get a reminder for an invoice I haven't sent?

No. A draft isn't owed until you send it, so it's left out of Collections and never gets a reminder.

When do reminders stop?

On their own, the day the invoice is marked paid.

Can customers pay online?

Yes. Connect Stripe once from Payments (Ava walks you through it) and every invoice gets a pay link. Customers pay by card, the money goes to your bank, and you can still record cash and checks.
