By connecting your invoicing and payment tools, you can automatically send invoices, reminders, and even thank-you notes—no more chasing clients. Flow Genius helps businesses set up seamless automation, so you get paid faster and your team can focus on growth.

The Challenge

Late payments disrupt cash flow and drain productivity. Small businesses spend an average of 14 hours each week following up on overdue invoices (QuickBooks, 2023). Manual reminders are error-prone and often ignored, leading to strained client relationships and financial uncertainty.

The Solution

Workflow automation with Stripe, QuickBooks, and Zapier eliminates manual billing and reminders. Flow Genius specializes in integrating these platforms, ensuring invoices are sent, reminders are triggered, and payments are tracked automatically. This reduces overdue invoices and improves your bottom line.

Implementation Steps

1. Connect Stripe and QuickBooks to Zapier. 2. Set up a Zap to trigger when a new recurring invoice is generated in QuickBooks. 3. Configure Zapier to automatically send the invoice via Stripe and track payment status. 4. Create automated reminder Zaps: send email or SMS reminders at set intervals if payment is overdue. 5. Add a “thank you” Zap to notify clients when payment is received. 6. Monitor results in your dashboard and adjust reminder timing for optimal response. 7. Flow Genius can customize and maintain these automations for your unique workflows.
