How do Invoices work for Recipients?

When you send a Stir Invoice, a few things will happen:

First, the Recipient(s) will receive an email notifying them that you sent an Invoice. The email will look something like this — showing important information, including the due date and amount. You will also receive a confirmation email stating that the Invoice has been sent successfully!

The Review and Pay Invoice button on the email links to the Public Invoice Page associated with your Invoice. The Public Invoice Page will look something like this, depending on the Add Ons you selected (Confused? check out

).

The Invoice below, for example, has the Attach W-9 Add On (you can tell from the presence of the W-9). It also was created using the Send on Behalf Add On (you can tell because the contact information is for Janni’s manager, Suzy)

The Recipient can pay the Invoice by clicking the Pay Invoice button on the page. This button will bring up a modal that provides instructions for payment. Notice that the bank details noted here are not yours! (Learn more at

) Funds that land in that account, after adjusting for Splits, will be deposited into the bank account you connected to Stir.

If the Invoice is nearing its due date and has not been paid, the Invoice Recipient(s) will automatically receive reminder emails the day before the Invoice is due, on the due date, and the day after it’s due. Invoice Recipients will also receive weekly reminders for up to 2 months after an Invoice is overdue. Reminder emails will look something like this:

Once the Invoice has been paid, the status on the page will automatically change to “Paid,” and both you and the Invoice Recipient(s) will receive a confirmation email that the Invoice has been paid. The Invoice status in your Stir Dashboard will also change to “Paid.” Woo!
