Professional invoicing that generates itself from your signed contracts, sends payment reminders automatically, and lets clients pay in one click.
The problem
Manually typing client names, package details, and payment schedules into a Word doc or spreadsheet for every booking.
You delivered the gallery three weeks ago and still haven't received the final payment. No automated reminders, no tracking.
You sign a contract in one tool, create an invoice in another, and manually reconcile the numbers. If anything changes, it's wrong in both places.
The solution
From contract signing to final payment — every step automated, every dollar tracked.
When your client signs a contract, the invoice is created automatically — names, package, pricing, deposit, and due dates all pre-filled. Zero retyping.
Clients pay directly from the invoice with credit card, debit, or ACH. No redirecting to PayPal, no "I forgot to Venmo you." One click, done.
Set up automatic payment milestones: 50% deposit at booking, 25% before the event, 25% at delivery. Each milestone sends a reminder automatically.
Automated reminders at 3, 7, and 14 days overdue. Optional late fees applied automatically. You never have to send an awkward "just checking in" email again.
See your outstanding invoices, projected revenue, and payment history at a glance. Know exactly where your money is at any given moment.
Your invoices carry your logo, brand colors, and business name. Clients see a polished branded page — not a generic payment link.
Your client reviews and e-signs from any device.
Package, pricing, and payment schedule pre-filled.
One click to pay — card, debit, or bank transfer.
Payment confirmed → gallery access granted automatically.

Clients can pay via credit card, debit card, or ACH bank transfer directly from the invoice. All payments are processed securely through Stripe. You receive payouts directly to your bank account.
Yes. You can create milestone-based payment schedules with custom amounts and due dates. Common setups include 50/50 splits (deposit + final) or three-part payments (booking, pre-event, delivery). Each milestone triggers automated reminders.
When you create a contract in 12img and your client signs it, an invoice is automatically generated with the same package details, pricing, and client information. Any changes to the contract update the invoice. No double entry.
Standard Stripe processing fees apply (typically 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction). 12img does not add any additional processing fees on top of Stripe's rates. On the Studio plan, there are 0% platform commissions on storefront sales.
Yes. While the contract-to-invoice automation is a key feature, you can also create standalone invoices for any service — mini sessions, print orders, additional hours, or custom work.
Unlike HoneyBook or Dubsado, 12img connects your invoicing directly to your gallery delivery. When the client pays, their gallery access is automatically confirmed. You don't need separate tools for contracts, invoicing, and gallery delivery — it's one workflow.
