QBO sending email reminders to paid customers

Why is QBO sending email reminders to customers that have already paid the invoice?

QBO sending email reminders to paid customers

Let's turn off some features to stop QuickBooks from sending reminders automatically, YPWW. 

 

It's possible that the automatic invoice reminder option may have been turned on, causing those automatic reminders to be sent out. To get you back in working order, let's turn off this option together.

 

Here's how: 

 

  1. Click the Gear icon, then select Account and Settings.
  2. Select Sales from the left menu and go to the Reminders section.
  3. Toggle the Automatic invoice reminders option to turn it off.
  4. Hit Save, then Done.

 

I'm adding this article to learn more about the feature: Automate invoice reminders in QuickBooks Online

 

Another workaround is to delete the recurring template that you set up. To do this, you can check out this article for more detailed information and steps on how to delete it: Recurring Transactions in QuickBooks Online.  

 

 

Feel free to add a comment below if you have other invoice-related concerns. I'll jump right back in to answer them for you. Have a good one.

Yes, I turned the automatic invoice reminder option off to stop the system from sending reminders to paid customers. It should only send reminders to outstanding customers.  Now, I will need to send reminders manually, because the system does not seem to be able to identify paid and outstanding invoices.

I would like to know how to turn off invoice email reminders for 1 customer ONLY not globally.

Can you please send HOW TO instructions

Hi there, @INTuserJBL.

 

Currently, the option to exclude a specific customer for automatic email invoice reminders is unavailable. I acknowledge that having the option to de-select a specific customer would make it easier for you to send your invoice reminders to many. However, our developers are constantly working to make QuickBooks Online better for our users.

 

In this, I’d recommend sending this functionality as feedback to our product development team. Doing so will enable us to comprehend what features business owners demand to use the product conveniently. To send your input, here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Select Feedback.
  3. Enter a brief description of your product suggestion.
  4. Click Next to submit feedback.

 

In the meantime, you can consider sending them manually to avoid sending the other one a reminder for their invoices.

 

On the other hand, you can start recording your customer’s payments once they’re decided to pay their orders. It is to keep your records in shape and accurate.

 

Write to me if you have any other questions about invoices. I'm always here to help you if you need me to.

Welcome to the Community, HeitherMarie1.

 

If you’ve already turned off the email reminders in your QuickBooks Online account but still send them to your customers. Let’s perform troubleshooting steps to resolve your concern.

 

Start by logging in to your QuickBooks Online account using a private or incognito browser. 

 

You can use these keyboard shortcuts below:

 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Safari 11 or newer: ⌘ + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + N

 

From there, check on your customer’s end if they still received some email invoice reminders. If they don’t, return to your regular browser and clear its cache. Clearing your cache helps clean up browser cookies that block web pages from loading. 

 

In addition, you can check out this article with information on recording the invoice payments received from your customers: Record invoice payments in QuickBooks Online. 

 

Feel free to leave a comment if you have other QBO invoice-related related. I'm always available to assist you.
