This page is for a very specific kind of freelancer
You are a freelance designer. You bill a monthly retainer. The client relationship is good. The work gets approved. Then the invoice sits because nobody wants to deal with another reminder email.
Nudge is not trying to replace your whole business stack. It is built to make that monthly payment handoff cleaner.
Fast proof
Proof, demo, and trust in one glance
This is the exact use case: one retainer invoice, one payment page, and automatic follow-up if the due date slips.
Demo
The sample below shows a May retainer invoice with the total, due date, and payment methods on one clean page.
Proof
When that invoice goes late, Nudge can send the reminder automatically at day 3, 7, and 14.
Trust
Clients do not need an account. You keep your own Stripe, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or bank details in the flow.
What the monthly retainer flow looks like
1. Send the invoice
Create the retainer invoice with the month, due date, and line items your client expects to see.
2. Show payment options
The client opens one invoice page with the total due and the payment methods you have enabled.
3. Let reminders run
If the due date slips, Nudge sends the overdue reminder at day 3, 7, and 14.
4. Confirm payment
The client pays their preferred way and can click I've sent payment so you know to confirm it.
Demo: what your client actually sees
May design retainer
$3,500

Bill to Luma Health
That is the point. The client does not need to guess how to pay or reply asking for another method. They open the invoice page and choose what works.
How payment works on Nudge
- • card payments can open your Stripe payment link
- • PayPal, Venmo, and Zelle can show your own handles or payment details
- • bank transfer instructions can be shown directly on the invoice page
- • clients can click I've sent payment after they pay
Good fit or not?
Good fit if you send repeat invoices for monthly design work, want a cleaner payment page, and do not want to write the same reminder email again next month.
Not the best fit if you need bookkeeping, payroll, recurring subscription management, or a larger finance team workflow.
