Is there a way to set up invoices to customers so that a late payment fee is automatically added if the customer hasn't paid by a certain date (i.e. Net 30)?

Hi Nezzer,

It's nice to see you reaching out here.  QuickBooks Online has the features you need to complete your daily tasks in a timely fashion, so you can get back to what you love!  I'll be happy to provide more information so you're on the right track with your QuickBooks goals!

You can create a service fee item that lets you add a standard fee with a detailed description. Here's how;

1. Open your Settings ⚙ in the top right and select Products and services

2. Select New

3. Choose Service

4. Give it a Name

5. From the Category ▼ dropdown, select the category that best describes the fee. Learn more about item categories.

6. Fill out the remaining fields as you feel necessary

7. When you're done, hit Save and close

Note; You can change the fee amount directly on the invoice is you don't have a standard fee.

Follow these steps to add the fee to an existing invoice;

1. Open Sales and then Invoices from the left menu

2. Locate the Customer invoice and open it

3. Use the Product/Service ▼ dropdown menu and select the fee you created above

4. Enter a note for the customer in the Message on invoice section (optional)

5. When finished, hit Save and send or Save and close

Here's a helpful guide for your reference.

Please let us know if this has been solved.  Your success is important and we're always glad to help!

Thanks for posting here, @Nezzer.

We understand the need to have the automatic late fees option in QuickBooks Online Canada. For now, this is not yet available in the program. So if you need to add a charge, you'll need to do it manually.

I want you to know that we wanted to learn about your business needs. Changes in the program are released based on several factors, so we welcome product suggestions to help improve our products and services. We're unable to provide the turnaround time on when new features are released in QuickBooks, since they are handled by the Developers Team.
