A reason to pay early, that runs itself

A small discount gives customers a reason to pay early. Paidnice adds it, can email the customer a pay link at the new total, and removes it on time.

A discount on every new invoice

Choose a percentage or a fixed amount. Paidnice adds it as a line on new invoices in Xero or QuickBooks, with the expiry date in the description.

Removed when it expires

If the customer has not paid by the expiry date, the discount line comes off and the invoice goes back to its full total. Nobody has to remember to change it.

Set who qualifies and when the offer ends

One rule decides which invoices qualify, counted from the issue date. The other decides when the discount comes off, counted from the issue date or the due date.

Tell customers what they save

An optional email tells the customer about the discount, when it ends and what to pay, with a pay link at the discounted total.

Keep chosen items at full price

Exclude line items such as pass-through costs, so the discount only applies to the revenue you choose.

What customers say about prompt payment discounts

Prompt payment discount questions

What is a prompt payment discount?

A prompt payment discount, or early payment discount, is a small reduction a customer gets for paying an invoice early, such as 2% off if paid within 7 days. Paidnice adds it to new Xero and QuickBooks invoices and removes it when the offer expires. Read more about early payment discounts.

How do you calculate a prompt payment discount?

Multiply the invoice total by the discount rate. A 2% discount on a $2,480.00 invoice is $49.60, so the customer pays $2,430.40. Try the early payment discount calculator.

What is a typical early payment discount?

A common term is “2/10 net 30”: 2% off if paid within 10 days, with the full amount due in 30.

What happens when the discount expires?

Paidnice removes the discount line, and the invoice goes back to its original total in Xero or QuickBooks.

Does the discount apply to invoices I have already sent?

A new policy applies to new invoices. You can choose all new invoices or only those not yet sent from your ledger, and process one older invoice manually.

How is the discount recorded in Xero or QuickBooks?

As a line on the invoice, posted to the account and tax rate you choose, with a description you can edit to show the expiry date.

Can I use discounts and late fees together?

Yes. Each customer group can run a prompt payment discount for paying early and a late fee for paying late. See late fees and interest.
