> Help a client pay remotely using their invoice or client portal link.

<Note>
  This guide is being written. The topics below show what it will cover.
</Note>

## Planned topics

* Choose an invoice email or a deposit/outstanding-balance reminder for the intended job.
* Confirm the contact details and delivery channel before sending the request.
* Explain the portal link and what the client needs to do to complete a payment.
* Check the job balance and payment history afterwards; sending a link alone does not count as payment.
* Explain how the available online-payment choices depend on the shop payment setup.
