Payment Reminders
Gäld lets you send a payment reminder email for any overdue invoice with a single click.
Sending a reminder
- Open the overdue invoice (Invoices → [invoice number])
- Click Send Reminder
- Gäld sends a reminder email to the customer's email address
Each time you click Send Reminder, Gäld:
- Sends the reminder email to the customer
- Increments the reminder counter on the invoice
- Records the date of the last reminder sent
Reminder counter
The invoice detail page shows how many reminders have been sent (Reminders sent: X). This counter lets you track escalation and know when it may be time to take further action.
Swiss debt collection
Before initiating Swiss debt collection (Betreibung), you should have sent at least one formal written reminder (Mahnung) setting a final deadline. Always consult a legal advisor for complex cases, in particular before filing a Debt Collection and Bankruptcy Act (SchKG/LP) Art. 63 ↗.
