About this product
Bigger jobs are paid in stages, and every stage is a chance for the money to be late. This keeps every deposit, stage payment and final balance on schedule.
Put each job's payments and due dates on one row. The customer gets a reminder 3 days before a payment is due, a note on the day, and chases 7 and 14 days after - only ever the one that fits, never three at once. You are told the day after any payment falls due unpaid, and 'Owed now' shows what each job owes today.
For a customer you mark as a business, the chases add statutory interest under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 - 8% above the Bank of England reference rate - and the fixed compensation of £40, £70 or £100. It is never added for private customers, who the Act does not cover.

Product questions
A Google account - a free Gmail account works, and so does Google Workspace - and Google Sheets in your web browser. Nothing is installed on your computer.
Open a new Google Sheet, go to Extensions > Apps Script, paste in the script from your download and run install once. It builds the tabs, the settings and the daily schedule for you. The setup guide shows every click.
No. Test mode is on when you install it: every message comes to you first, marked [TEST], with a line saying who it would have gone to. You switch test mode off in the Settings tab when you are happy with it.
Google asks you to approve any script that reads your sheet or sends email from your account. Because the script runs in your own account rather than as a published app, Google shows its standard warning screen. The setup guide explains each button.
No. Everything stays inside your own Google account. The script cannot contact any other website, and we never see your sheet or your emails.
It stops at 50 a day unless you change that in Settings. Google's own limit is about 100 recipients a day on a free Gmail account and 1,500 on Google Workspace.
No. You pay once. It runs on Google's free Apps Script service in your own account, so there is nothing to renew.
