Invoice Maria $400. Just say it.
This is a canned walk-through of CashText, The Mayor's invoicing module. Maria and her $400 are made up — the words, the cards, and the rules are the real module's: you approve every send, invoices go out through your own Stripe, and nothing here touches a real account. No data you type is collected — there is nothing to type.
Invoice Maria $400 for the bathroom work, due Friday.
Here's the draft. Nothing sends until you approve it.
Invoice draft
The invoice carries a pay link from your own Stripe, set when the invoice is created — a sent invoice's words never change afterwards.
In the real module, Edit takes your words — “make it $450, add the tile work” — and the card redraws. Dismiss cancels the draft and nothing is sent.
Sent. Maria has the invoice and its pay link: pay link · sample
Three days after the due date, if it's still open, I'll offer a chase — always as a fresh draft for your approval, never on my own.
Chase draft · step 1
A chase re-sends the same invoice — Stripe can't add new words to a sent invoice, so the fresh wording is a copy-paste draft for your own message, labelled as exactly that:
Hi Maria — a friendly nudge on the $400 invoice for the bathroom work, due last Friday. The pay link is on the invoice I just re-sent. Anything you need from me to get it paid?
Copied. Paste it wherever you talk to Maria — CashText never contacts your customers behind your back.
Done — the re-send is on its way with your approval. And every Friday I'll lay out the week's cash on your Desk: what came in, what's still out, and what's waiting on you.
CashText arrives with the module launch — pricing is announced at launch, and checkout opens then.
