You did the job. Why are you the one chasing?
Every overdue invoice means another awkward email, a phone call you put off, and an evening checking your books to see who’s paid. Meanwhile it’s your cash sitting in someone else’s account.
SteadyChase does the chasing on a schedule you choose, politely and in your name. It never forgets, it never gets awkward, and it stops the moment they pay.
What chasing costs you now
60 hours a year spent chasing, worth about $3,600 of your time.
SteadyChase Starter is $348 a year for up to 100 invoices a month, so your time spent chasing costs about 10× as much.
Your numbers, your estimate. Change them to match your business.
Set up in about ten minutes. Nothing goes out until you say so.

Who owes you, and what happens next, on one screen.
The total that’s overdue, every reminder going out this week, and the few things that need you, like a customer who asked a question. No reports to build.
Emails and texts. Both included.
Plenty of customers ignore email but read every text. SteadyChase can text overdue reminders with a pay link to customers who’ve agreed to it. There’s no charge per message.
- 50 to 500 texts a month included, depending on your plan
- Only sent to customers who said yes, and they can reply STOP at any time
- If they text back, we read it for you, pause chasing, and suggest a reply you can send from SteadyChase

Sorry, paying Friday!
Forwarded to you by email. Chasing paused until you’ve seen it.
How much sooner customers pay
See that it’s working, in dollars and days.
SteadyChase compares how late your customers paid in the six months before you started with how late they pay now, and adds up the money that came in after a reminder. Real numbers from your own books, not an estimate.
Late fees, only if you want them.
If your payment terms include a late fee or interest, SteadyChase can add it for you, staying within your state’s limits. It shows the customer how it was worked out and stops as soon as they pay or ask a question. Off until you switch it on.
- Only starts once you confirm your terms allow it
- Waive one fee or a hundred in a couple of clicks
- Added as its own invoice, so your original invoice never changes
Big bill? Let them pay it in parts.
Split any invoice into weekly, fortnightly or monthly payments in a few clicks. SteadyChase emails the customer the schedule, reminds them before each payment, and asks for just what’s due on their payment page. Usual reminders and late fees wait while they keep up.
- Customers can ask for a plan from their payment page; you decide
- A missed payment ends the plan and tells you, and usual chasing restarts
- Included in every plan
Everything else that gets you paid sooner
Automatic payments
Regular customers save a card or bank account once, and every invoice is paid on its due date. If a payment fails, they're asked to update it and reminders restart.
Early-payment discount
Offer, say, 2% off when an invoice is paid online within 10 days. It's shown on the payment page and recorded in your books as a credit.
Replies read for you
“Paying Friday” is logged as a promise and reminders wait. Questions and disputes get a one-line summary and a suggested reply.
Answer from one place
Reply to a text or a question by text or email without leaving SteadyChase, so your whole team sees the conversation.
Your own email address
Send reminders from accounts@yourbusiness.com instead of our address. It looks familiar to customers and is less likely to land in spam.

Why not just use QuickBooks reminders?
They’re a fine start. When the same customers keep paying late, this is what changes.

Questions owners ask
Will my customers be annoyed?
Reminders are short and polite, come from your business name, and go out on weekdays during business hours. Each customer gets at most one email a day, and chasing stops the moment they pay, pick a date to pay, or reply. You choose a friendly or firm schedule and can change every word.
Is my QuickBooks or Xero data safe?
You connect through QuickBooks' or Xero's own sign-in, so we never see your password. SteadyChase reads your customers and unpaid invoices. It only writes to your books for things you switch on: a payment against the invoice it pays, and late fees as separate invoices. Your original invoices are never changed, and you can disconnect at any time.
What happens when a customer replies?
Email replies go straight to your inbox. If they reply to a text or ask on their payment page, SteadyChase reads it for you: a promise to pay with a date is logged and reminders wait until then; anything else shows on your dashboard with a one-line summary and a suggested reply you can send in one click. Chasing on those invoices pauses until you've sorted it out.
What if a customer can't pay it all at once?
Set up a payment plan on the invoice: choose how many payments and how often. We email them the schedule, remind them before each payment, and their payment page asks for just the amount that's due. Customers can also ask for a plan from their payment page. Payment plans are included in every plan.
Does it work with QuickBooks Desktop?
Yes. QuickBooks Pro, Premier and Enterprise connect through Intuit's free Web Connector, which syncs every 15 minutes while QuickBooks is open. Setup takes about 10 minutes.
Do I need to change how I invoice?
No. Keep invoicing in QuickBooks or Xero exactly as you do now. SteadyChase picks up new invoices by itself.
Can I stop it at any time?
Yes. Pause all chasing with one click, leave out a customer you'd rather call yourself, or cancel your plan. Monthly plans have no contract.
Stop chasing. Get paid.
