For freelancers & small studios · Pre-launch

Stop writing awkward ‘just checking in’ emails.
Get paid instead.

You did the work. PaidUp is being built to handle the follow-up: automatic payment nudges that get firmer as your invoices get later.

The part nobody invoices for

The work is done.
The chasing isn’t.

You send the invoice. Then a reminder. Then you spend ten minutes deciding whether another reminder sounds pushy.

You shouldn’t need a second job getting paid for your first. PaidUp is designed to keep the follow-up moving, without putting every email back on your to-do list.

How it will work

Set it once.
Get paid on autopilot.

A focused follow-up tool for people who invoice through Stripe. Currently in development.

01

Connect Stripe.

Keep invoicing where you already do. PaidUp will watch the due dates.

02

We send the nudges.

A planned sequence, from a friendly heads-up to a firm request for payment.

03

You get paid.

When Stripe reports full payment, remaining nudges stop. One less thing to track.

A little firmer. Only when needed.

Six stages.
One less thing on your mind.

Stage 03 / 06 · Email exampleFriendly

A quick nudge on invoice [number]

A light follow-up while the invoice is only a few days overdue.

↳ Client reply → pause for 48 hours↳ Partial payment → reset follow-up✓ Fully paid → stop the sequence

Steal the six-stage follow-up pack.

Five emails + a formal handoff. All six stages, free. No email required.

Planned behavior, not a live product. These are illustrative email drafts. The formal stage prepares a demand-letter draft and small-claims checklist for your review; it does not automatically send a legal demand or file a claim.

The idea we’re testing

Reminders don’t collect;
escalation does.

The beta will test whether escalation gets invoices paid sooner than reminders alone.

A few fair questions

Before you
hand off the chasing.

Is PaidUp available yet?

Not yet. We’re gathering interest from freelancers and studios that use Stripe invoicing. Join the waitlist to hear when the beta opens. You won’t connect Stripe or add client data on this page.

Doesn’t Stripe already send reminders?

Yes. Stripe supports automatic reminders before, on and after the due date. PaidUp’s proposed addition is a follow-up sequence with changing tone and rules for replies and partial payments. Whether that’s worth an extra subscription is what the beta will test.

Will this make things awkward with my clients?

The planned sequence starts friendly and becomes firmer as an invoice gets later. A client reply will pause reminders for 48 hours. Formal follow-up is handed to you for review. No tool can guarantee how a client will react.

What if a client replies or pays?

The planned rules pause the sequence for 48 hours after a reply, reset it after a partial payment, and stop remaining messages once Stripe reports full payment. These behaviors still need to be validated in the beta.

Does PaidUp handle legal collections?

No. The proposed final stage is a demand-letter draft and a small-claims checklist for you to review. PaidUp does not promise legal representation, file claims, or automatically send legal demands.

Is my clients’ data safe?

Security docs coming before public launch. PaidUp is not connected to client invoices at this stage. We’ll publish the intended access permissions, data handling and deletion details before asking anyone to connect Stripe.

You’ve done your part.

Your next overdue invoice is already out there.
Be ready for it.
