WooCommerce Perfect Payment Reminder

Description

A legally compliant dunning procedure is indispensable in accounting. As we operate several online shops with WooCommerce ourselves, we spent a long time looking for a suitable solution that could automate this task for us. The result... no solution!

We couldn't find a plugin that met our requirements. The decision was made quickly and we developed our own plugin with all the bells and whistles. The WooCommerce Perfect Payment Reminder plugin takes care of sending your payment reminders and reminders completely automatically. No more manual work and maintaining Excel spreadsheets of when which email was sent is finally a thing of the past.

Features and functions:

Create up to 4 payment reminders/reminders
Use your own texts and settings for each individual email
All emails are sent and logged completely automatically
The invoice PDF is sent as an attachment
Individual orders can be excluded
Send an e-mail directly to your lawyer/collection partner incl. mail history
The email style adapts to the rest of your shop emails
Support for multilingualism

For example, your dunning procedure could look like this:

7 days after order => Payment reminder
14 days after order => 1st reminder
21 days after order => 2nd reminder
30 days after order => e-mail incl. mail history to lawyer/collection

Of course, you can customise this process to suit your own requirements.

Other:

The WooCommerce Perfect Payment Reminder plugin is of course also HPOS compatible.

Compatibility:

WooCommerce only => limited without invoice data
Germanised Pro => 100% Support
German Market => coming soon

FAQ

Does the plugin also work without an invoice plugin?

Yes, but then of course only to a limited extent without invoice data. But the rest is fully functional.

Are multiple invoices per order supported?

Yes, all invoices including their data and status are clearly listed in the e-mails.

How are old orders handled?

To ensure that our plugin also processes old orders, i.e. orders placed before the plugin was activated, this must be activated in the plugin settings. The first reminders will then be sent within the next hour if there are overdue orders. All subsequent reminders are then based on the dispatch date of the first reminder. This keeps everything correct and clean.

Is it possible to exclude certain orders?

Yes, you can do this simply by ticking a checkbox directly in the respective order.

I need to change my plugin settings. Are there any problems with active dunning procedures?

No. When the first reminder is sent, the complete reminder history from the current plugin settings is saved temporarily. If you change your plugin settings, these only affect new reminder procedures.

How does multilingualism work?

In the "Subject" and "Email text" text fields, enter your texts on a shortcode basis consisting of [lang_{landescode}] Your text [/lang_{landescode}]. Example
Important: Always write the complete text in the shortcode. Do not use shortcodes twice!
When sending emails, the plugin checks the stored user language. If there is a match, the relevant text is sent.
If you don't need multilingualism, simply store your standard texts without shortcodes.

What types of invoices are sent?

Germanised Pro => Only fixed invoices

How can a lifetime licence pay off at such low prices?

This is actually a question we are often asked. Quality and customer satisfaction are our top priorities. We manage more than 200 WordPress websites through our web agency, many of which are large WooCommerce shops and almost all of which use plugins from us. That alone is one of our motivations to always give our customers 100%. Furthermore, our plugins are "suitable for the masses". For example, every German online shop that creates invoices internally needs our Payment Reminder. That's a large customer group. Thirdly, we have a great drive to do better than the solutions already on the market.
