Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the invoice generator?
An invoice is a full VAT document with line items, quantities, prices, and a sequence number. A payment request is shorter: a single amount, a reason, a due date, and how to pay. Use this when you don't need a tax-grade invoice but you do need a clear, written ask.
Which currencies are supported?
EUR, USD, and GBP. Pick the currency once and it formats the amount on the document.
Can I include both bank details and a payment link?
Yes. Choose 'Both' as the payment method and the document will list your IBAN, BIC, and account name as well as the online payment link.
Can I add a reference number?
Yes. The reference is shown in a highlighted block so the payer can copy it into their bank transfer description, which makes reconciling the payment painless.
Can I add my logo?
Yes. Upload a PNG or JPG (up to 1 MB) on the Style tab. Pick small, medium, or large and place it on the left or right.
Is this legally binding?
A payment request is a written statement of what is owed and how to pay it. It's not a court judgment, but it's strong evidence of the agreed amount and due date, and it's what most small claims processes expect to see first.
How long is the document kept?
Your payment request PDF is auto-deleted after 7 days. Re-download is available during that window via the secure link.
