PayPal invoices are convenient â you can create one in minutes, the client gets a branded email with a Pay Now button, and the money arrives directly in your PayPal account. For clients who pay on time, it's a seamless experience.
The problem starts the day after the due date. PayPal doesn't automatically send a reminder. You'd have to manually resend the invoice or send a separate email. If you do nothing, PayPal does nothing â the invoice just sits in your “overdue” list indefinitely.
Facturama fills that gap. You add the overdue invoice to Facturama (takes 30 seconds), paste in the PayPal payment link, and Facturama sends escalating follow-ups at day 3, 7, 14, and 30 â each with a progressively firmer tone and a direct link to pay via PayPal.
PayPal charges around 3.49% + a fixed fee per transaction on invoices. For a $2,000 invoice that's ~$70 in fees. Facturama at â¬9,95/month is flat-rate and works with any payment processor â Stripe, bank transfer, PayPal, whatever your client prefers. If you're processing more than a few invoices per month, the math favours a flat-rate tool.
Add your PayPal payment link to each invoice. Facturama sends escalating follow-ups until you get paid.
