Just landed a project with three clients who want to split the cost. Never dealt with this before. Not sure how to structure the invoice or handle payments. Do I send one big invoice or separate ones? Worried about tracking who’s paid what.
I’d go with separate invoices for each client. Makes it simpler to track who’s paid. Less headache for you in the long run. Just my two cents.
I’ve dealt with this a few times. Here’s what worked for me:
I made separate invoices for each client. Divided the total by three and sent each their own bill.
It might seem like more work upfront, but it saved me tons of hassle later. Each client sees only what they owe. Makes it crystal clear for everyone.
For tracking, I use a simple spreadsheet. One tab for the whole project, then columns for each client. I mark off payments as they come in.
Just remember to keep good notes on the project total and how you split it. Sometimes clients ask questions later.
Oh, and make sure all three know the deal. I once had two pay quickly, but the third dragged their feet. Clear expectations from the start help avoid that mess.
Separate invoices are the way to go here. Makes tracking payments simple and avoids confusion.
I’d split the total cost into three equal parts. Send each client their own invoice for their share.
This keeps things clean and lets you know exactly who’s paid and who hasn’t. Saves you headaches in the long run.
Never done split invoices. I’d just bill each guy separately and hope for the best.
Separate invoices all the way. It’s cleaner and saves you headaches down the line. Split the total into three, create an invoice for each client with their portion. Makes tracking payments a breeze. If one doesn’t pay, you know exactly who it is. Plus, it keeps things clear for the clients too. They see what they owe, not the whole project cost. Been doing it this way for years, never had issues.
I’ve been in this boat before. Here’s what worked for me:
- One master invoice
- Separate payment links
Create a master invoice with the full project details. Then set up individual payment links for each client’s share.
This approach:
- Keeps everyone on the same page
- Lets you track payments easily
- Avoids the hassle of multiple invoices
Just make sure to clearly communicate who’s responsible for what amount. And keep a close eye on those payments coming in.
If you’re using invoicing software, see if it has a feature for split payments. Some do, and it can make life way easier.
Remember, clear communication is key here. Don’t assume the clients have it all figured out among themselves.
