Frequently asked questions

Should photographers charge a retainer?

Yes, most photographers require a non-refundable retainer (often 25–50%) to hold the date. Use the deposit field so it is shown clearly.

What must an invoice include?

A unique invoice number, the issue date, your business details, the customer's details, a description of the work, amounts, taxes, the total due and the payment terms.

What payment terms should I use?

Due on receipt, Net 14 and Net 30 are common. Shorter terms usually mean faster payment for small businesses.
