You can pay via [METHOD / LINK]. If it's already in flight or you need a different copy of the invoice, just reply and I'll sort it.

### How to use
1. Replace every `[BRACKET]`.
2. Send once; log the date.
3. If still unpaid after ~7 days, you need a firmer follow-up (full kit has the ladder).

### Want the full system?
The paid **Get Paid Kit** ($10) adds invoice templates, payment terms cheat sheet, 5 progressive late-pay scripts (friendly → pause work → final notice), follow-up checklist, and a payment tracker.
