“I hate sending reminder messages.”
Built for UK solo professionals
Finished the work. Still thinking about who owes you?
If answering “who still owes me?” means checking messages, your bank or your own memory, Simply Link gives you one place to request payment, track what is still due and follow up when someone forgets.

Paid
You can see what needs attention without reconstructing it from messages and bank payments.
The everyday problem
The work is finished. The payment isn’t.
The annoying part is not only sending a reminder. It is remembering who needs one, checking whether they already paid and carrying that unfinished job around in your head.
Their language
What it actually sounds like.
“They said they would pay later, but now I’m checking my bank again.”
“Hi mate, sorry to bother you, just wondering if you saw my invoice?”
“I did the work. I should not have to feel awkward asking to be paid.”
Anonymised comments from a UK solo-business Facebook discussion. They are examples of the problem, not Simply Link customer testimonials.
Simply Link language
Turn the mental notes into clear states.
“Did I actually send it?”
Request created
“They said they’d pay later.”
Awaiting payment
“I need to chase them tomorrow.”
Reminder scheduled
“Have they paid yet?”
Paid
You still decide how you work with your customers. Simply Link gives the payment admin somewhere else to live.
86
hours a year
average among affected businesses
Chasing payment is a real cost — even before the mental load.
Among surveyed UK businesses that spent staff time chasing late payments, the average was 86 hours per affected business each year.
Office of the Small Business Commissioner, 2025What changes
Stop keeping customer payments in your head.
Simply Link keeps the request, due date, payment status and follow-up together so you can see what is happening without rebuilding the story every time.
Know who still owes you.
See awaiting and overdue requests without searching through messages or trying to match names to bank payments.
Know what is already paid.
Keep the request and its payment status together so you do not have to reconstruct what happened.
Know what happens next.
See when something needs attention, send a reminder yourself or let eligible automatic follow-up handle it.
One payment workflow
From “I need to ask for payment” to paid.
Once the problem feels familiar, the product itself is deliberately boring: create the request, check it, send it and let Simply Link keep track of what happens next.
Create
Choose the customer, what they are paying for, amount and due date.
Preview
Check the details and customer view before anything goes live.
Make live
Publish the customer payment page when you are ready.
Share
Send the secure payment link your way.
Track
See what is due, paid or needs a reminder.
Paid
Your customer pays securely by card through Stripe.
The payment link is not the whole product.
The link is simply the part your customer opens to pay. Simply Link is the workflow around it: what the payment is for, when it is due, whether it is still outstanding, what needs attention and what happened afterwards.
After you send it
The payment link is easy. Simply Link remembers what happens next.
Sending a link takes seconds. The admin starts afterwards: who paid, who did not, what is overdue and whether someone needs a nudge.
- See awaiting, overdue and paid requests in one place.
- Send a manual reminder whenever a payment needs a nudge.
- See when automatic follow-up is active and what happens next.
- Keep the secure payment link inside the reminder so paying stays easy.
Most customers are not trying to be difficult. But the remembering still becomes your job — unless you give it to a system.

PaidRecurring Requests · Pro
Regular customer? Stop remembering to create the next request.
For work that repeats, Simply Link can create the next normal payment request for you on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly schedule.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly
Choose the schedule that matches the regular work you actually do.
Draft first or make live automatically
Keep a final check in your workflow or let the next request publish automatically.
Each occurrence is a normal Simply Link request
It goes through the same tracking, reminders and payment workflow as any other request.
Recurring Requests are not automatic charges.
Simply Link creates the next payment request. Your customer still opens their secure payment link and chooses to pay.

Different work. Same admin.
If you do the work and then have to remember the payment, Simply Link fits.
The job title changes. The after-work payment admin often does not.
Beautician
Request payment after an appointment, track what is due and let the customer pay by card.
Cleaner
Handle weekly or regular cleans without rebuilding the same customer payment admin every time.
Dog walker
Save common walks and prices, then create one-off or recurring requests for regular customers.
Tutor
Request lesson fees, see what is outstanding and set up recurring requests for regular students.
Photographer
Collect a booking deposit and keep the remaining balance connected to the same job.
Tradesperson
Send a clear payment request when the job is finished and know whether it has actually been paid.
One-off, deposit or balance
Ask for the payment that matches the work.
Some jobs are one clean payment. Others need a deposit first and a balance later. Either way, Simply Link keeps the request and payment status together.
Your customer gets a clear secure link. You keep the context around it.
