Second payment reminder emails with a clear next step.
PaidChaser helps teams prepare a second reminder when the first message did not get a response, while keeping the invoice history and next follow-up date connected.
Follow up again without sounding improvised.
This page targets teams that already sent an initial reminder and now need a professional second touch without losing the customer relationship.
Second reminder essentials
Second payment reminder email example
Use this when a first reminder has already been sent and the invoice still needs a clear, professional second touch. Replace the bracketed fields, confirm the history, then record the next follow-up date.
Subject: Second reminder for invoice [invoice number] Hi [customer name], I am following up again on invoice [invoice number] for [amount], which was due on [due date]. We sent a reminder on [first reminder date] and wanted to check whether payment is scheduled. Could you please confirm the expected payment date, or let us know if anything is preventing payment from being processed? If payment has already been sent, thank you - please share the payment reference or remittance details so the invoice can be marked paid. Thank you, [your team]

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 second payment reminder email.

FAQ
How is a second payment reminder different from the first?
It can be slightly firmer and reference the earlier reminder, but it should still stay professional and invoice-specific.
Can PaidChaser show reminder history?
Yes. PaidChaser keeps follow-up status attached to the invoice so the next message has context.
What if there is still no response?
Keep the invoice in the follow-up queue and schedule the next action rather than relying on memory.
