Make the due date unambiguous
Invoice Payment Terms
Payment terms tell the recipient when payment is expected and may also explain an approved payment method. The written due date should agree with the contract, purchase order, or accepted quote.
Only an approved preset and interface language cross to the editor. No invoice fields are passed.
Common timing terms
Due on receipt generally asks for payment when the invoice is received. Net 7, Net 15, and Net 30 commonly describe a number of days after an agreed starting date, but organizations may calculate that date differently.
- Due on receipt: use only when immediate payment was agreed.
- Net 7 or Net 15: shorter windows that still need a specific due date.
- Net 30: common wording, not a universal default or legal rule.
Use a calendar date
A visible due date reduces ambiguity about weekends, holidays, invoice receipt, and month length. If the agreement controls how days are counted, follow that agreement.
Payment instructions
Give the recipient enough information to route payment and match it to the invoice. Do not place login credentials, one-time codes, full card data, or other secrets in the PDF.
Late fees and discounts
Do not add a late fee, early-payment discount, or collection statement unless it is lawful and supported by the agreement. This tool calculates only the values you enter and does not enforce a payment term.
