Get Paid Faster with Zil Money’s Smart Payment Requests, A Man Holding a Screen Requesting Payment Via Payment Links

Getting paid should be simple—but for many freelancers, small business owners, and service providers, knowing how to request payment effectively is the missing piece. You do the work, send the invoice, and then… nothing. Days turn into weeks, and you’re left chasing payments that should’ve been done and dusted.

If that story feels all too familiar, you’re not alone. Late payments throw off everything—cash flow, payroll, inventory, and your sanity. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to keep nudging or waiting. You just need a smarter, cleaner way to collect what’s owed. That’s exactly where Zil Money steps in.

Let’s talk about how to get paid faster—without sounding pushy or chasing clients.

Why Payments Get Delayed (and How to Fix It)

We all know how this goes:

  • Your invoice is lost in a cluttered inbox
  • The client forgets or misunderstands the terms
  • They don’t have a quick way to pay
  • You hesitate to follow up—again

All of these turn into unnecessary delays. But with the right tools, the process becomes smooth and direct.

Step 1: Smart Invoicing That Makes You Look Professional

First impressions matter. Zil Money helps you create and send professional invocie in just a few clicks:

  • Include your logo, branding, and payment terms
  • List services clearly with itemized details
  • Set due dates and add notes if needed

But what really seals the deal? Every invoice comes with a payment link—so your customer can pay right then and there. No confusion. No download. No delay.

Step 2: Send Secure Payment Links via SMS or Email

Tired of awkward follow-ups? Zil Money lets you request payment by generating a secure link and sending it via email or SMS.

Clients click the link, choose how to pay—credit card or bank account—and you get your money fast. It’s simple, professional, and surprisingly effective.

Step 3: Track Everything Like a Pro

The cloud-based platform does not leave you guessing.

  • See when your invoice was opened
  • Get notified as soon as payment hits

Plus, if your client misses the due date, Zil Money automatically sends a polite reminder for you. No more writing awkward “just checking in” emails.

Bonus: You Can Send Payments Too

Zil Money isn’t just for collecting money—it’s for sending it too. Whether you’re paying vendors, employees, or contractors, the platform gives you full flexibility. Choose from ACH transfers, wire payments, physical or digital checks, or even use your credit card (yes, even if your recipient doesn’t accept cards directly). Everything is handled from the same dashboard, so you may keep track of incoming and outgoing cash without switching platforms. One place. Total control.

Recurring Invoices? Set It and Forget It

For repeat clients or subscription-based work, Zil Money lets you automate the process:

  • Set up recurring invoices
  • Attach recurring payment links
  • Track each transaction in your dashboard

Once it’s set, it runs like clockwork. You stay focused on your work—not on who paid and who didn’t.

Use It Anywhere, Anytime
