Can a client still make a payment even if the invoice shows as overdue?

I just received my first payment through HoneyBook! Woohoo! However, it was quite a hassle to get there.

Today, my client reached out to inform me that they were having trouble making a payment through the invoice I sent. I considered that the issue might be due to the contract needing to be completed before the invoice could be processed. However, I noticed that the invoice was still labeled as “overdue.” 

To fix this, I first updated the due date on the invoice from today, February 17, 2025, and sent the revised invoice to the client. Unfortunately, that did not resolve the issue. I then changed the due date to the end of February to ensure it would not appear overdue. This change finally worked, and the issue was resolved.

My question is: Can a client still make a payment even if the invoice shows as overdue? If so, how can I fix this in the future?

Hi Kawekiu - 

Congrats on your first payment! That is super exciting and a huge milestone! 

Your clients should be able to make payments even if a payment is categorized as overdue. Next time potentially consider using the payment reminder feature to prompt the payment.

Unsure if something else was tripping up the contract/payment flow without getting into your account or looking at the setup. I’d say if this happens again you should reach out directly to  Concierge@HoneyBook.com to troubleshoot the issue. The last thing we want is for you to be blocked from getting you paid while using our platform!
