Could you confirm whether payment has been scheduled, or let us know if anything is needed from our side? The payment link is [payment link].

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
