Hi Northlake Studio, I hope you are well. I am checking in on INV-2018 for $1,240. It looks like this invoice is still waiting for payment or a status update. Could you confirm when payment is expected? Thanks, Team PaidChaser
Draft stays local until you choose what to do next.
In the app, the draft stays tied to invoice status, next follow-up date, and the workflow for late payment follow-up tone.
