Hassle-free payments

  • Instant payments

    Clients pay directly through Handl, skipping bank transfer delays.

  • Automated reminders

    Never chase payments again with email reminders.

  • Real-time payment tracking

    See paid and pending invoices in one dashboard.

  • Easy client approvals

    Clients review, approve, and pay all in one place.

  • Saved cards & auto-pay

    Clients can save a card and opt in to auto-pay — recurring invoices charge themselves, with notice before every charge.

  • Partial payments

    Clients can pay in parts when they need to — Handl tracks what's outstanding until the invoice clears.

Faster payments, fewer headaches, better cash flow.

One statement, every outstanding invoice

Stop sending five invoice emails when you mean one

  • Everything they owe, in one email

    Send a Statement from the client page — every outstanding invoice, grouped by currency, each group with its own subtotal.

  • Straight to View & Pay

    Each line links to the invoice. Anything already scheduled for auto-pay says so instead of asking twice.

  • Preview, then send

    See the exact email before it goes and add a personal note. The template is yours to edit in Settings → Communications.

  • A record on the client page

    Every statement you send lands in the client's Sent Emails history.

One email instead of five — and nobody's asked to pay something that's about to be auto-charged.

Secure work, guaranteed payments.

Asset exchange made simple

  • Secure deliverables

    Work is only released once payment is confirmed.

  • Guaranteed payments

    Milestone-based billing ensures you get paid.

  • Client & team alignment

    Clear scope, deliverables, and payment terms upfront.

  • E-signed agreements

    Send project agreements clients sign electronically — typed or drawn — before the work starts.

  • All deliverables in one place

    Track sent, approved, and paid assets effortlessly.

Get paid on time, every time — without the risk.
