Invoicing for carpenters and joiners
Invoicing for carpenters & joiners — deposits in, invoices chased
Fitted wardrobes, kitchens, staircases — bespoke work needs a deposit and an invoice that gets paid. PaySorted handles both, and chases anything overdue.

Automatic chasing
Never chase a customer again
Every carpenter on PaySorted gets three ready-written reminders — Friendly, Professional and Firm — filled in with the customer's name, the invoice number, the amount and a payment link. They go out on schedule by email or text, and stop the moment the customer pays.
- Before it's due, on the day, then 7, 14 and 28 days late
- Sent from your business name — replies come straight to you
- Customers can tap "I've paid by bank transfer" to pause reminders
- Edit the wording and timings, or leave it to us

Deposits, text reminders, the customer page, the letter before action and accounting software connections are on the Pro plan and above. Everything else is on every plan.

Questions from carpenters and joiners
Can I ask for 50% up front?
Yes (Pro plan). Choose 10%, 25% or 50% when you write the quote; the deposit invoice is created as soon as they accept.
Can I see when a customer has opened my quote?
Yes. You'll see when they open it, and get a notification when they accept or decline.
Does it connect to Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent or Sage?
Yes (Pro plan). Invoices and payments go across automatically, and unpaid invoices already in your accounts can be chased too.
