Copy/paste template

Hi {{Name}},

Invoice #{{InvoiceNumber}} ({{Amount}}) is overdue as of {{DueDate}}. If paying in full is difficult, we can accept a split payment: please pay the first part now via {{PayLink}}, and confirm the date the remaining balance will be paid.

Please reply by {{ReplyByDate}} with your plan or payment confirmation.

Thanks,
{{YourName}}
{{Company}}

Follow-up plan + common mistakes

If first installment received, confirm the next payment schedule in writing
If no reply by {{ReplyByDate}}, escalate with firm dates
Don’t accept vague timelines—require specific dates for each part
Don’t delay the request after they mention needing a split
Don’t propose indefinite “as able” arrangements—keep it structured

FAQ

Document both the amounts and the payment dates. Confirm receipt of each part in writing.
