Invoice not delivered to client

Your invoice has been sent, but your client hasn't received it. This article covers the most common reasons and what you can do to fix it.

Why your client may not have received the invoice

  • The email landed in their spam or junk folder - ask your client to check there first

  • The email address on the invoice is incorrect or has a typo

  • Your client's email provider blocked the message due to security filters

  • The invoice was not actually sent - it may still be in draft or unsent status

What to check in Billdu

  • Open the invoice and check its status - if it shows "Unsent", it was never sent

  • Check the document history (Timeline) to confirm the email was sent and when

  • Verify the client's email address on the invoice - go to the invoice, check the recipient field

  • If the status shows "Sent" or "Viewed", the message left Billdu successfully

What you can do

  • Ask your client to check their spam or junk folder

  • Resend the invoice using the Send button in the invoice

  • Share the invoice as an online link instead - your client can open and pay it directly without email

  • Send the invoice as a PDF via WhatsApp, SMS, or any other messaging app

  • Update the client's email address in the Clients section, then resend

How Billdu sends emails

  • Mobile app - invoices are sent from your own mail app (Gmail, iOS Mail, etc.)

  • Website - invoices are sent from invoices@mail.billdu.com with your business name displayed in front; replies go to your account email

If you use the mobile app and your mail app is not set up correctly, emails may fail to send. Go to Settings - Client communication - Email settings to switch to Billdu's mail server instead.

Tip: To avoid delivery issues in the future, you can enable "Attach document as PDF" in Settings - Client communication - Email settings. This ensures the PDF is included directly in the email.
