In an ideal world, your invoice should be paid in total and on time
but, in the real world this is not the case at all the times. Your
customer may be late to pay you the invoice or may refuse to
complete the payment so you need to have your own policy which
makes the payment terms clear from the day one. Make sure to
include what type of payment method you are accepting, when you
should receive your down and final payment, what is the penalties
of late payment and so on

You have to include the due date for your invoice so your customer
knows when they should pay you. This will help you to track
overdue invoices. Also tell your customers how you wish to be paid,
are you preferring a mailed check or you prefer an online payment.
