## Messages to send Mindie
- Before the due date: "Remind me before the Greenleaf Packaging invoice for $2,340 is due on November 14"
- A monthly payment run: "On the 25th of every month at 10am remind me to pay supplier invoices"
- From a photo of the invoice: "Here's the invoice from Northside Coffee, remind me 3 days before it's due"

A supplier payment reminder on WhatsApp is a message a few days before an invoice is due, with the vendor and the amount. With Mindie you set it from one line: "remind me before the Greenleaf Packaging invoice for $2,340 is due on November 14". You get an early heads-up and a reminder on the day.

Late payments to suppliers cost more than a late fee. They can lose you early-payment discounts, push you down the delivery queue and make the next negotiation harder.

## When to be reminded

- **A few days before the due date,** so cash is in place.
- **Inside an early-payment window,** if a supplier offers a discount for paying within 10 days.
- **On a fixed monthly run day,** if you pay everything in one sitting.

## Why supplier bills get missed

- **Invoices arrive everywhere.** Email, paper, a photo from the driver.
- **Terms differ.** Net 15 for one vendor, net 30 for another.
- **Cash timing is tight.** Without a heads-up, a bill can land on the same day as rent.

## Habits that help

- **Set the reminder when the invoice arrives,** not when you remember it.
- **Include the amount and invoice number** so you can pay straight from the reminder.
- **Keep vendor payment details in a note** for quick reference.

## How Mindie handles it

1. **Send the vendor, amount and due date,** or a photo of the invoice.
2. **Mindie confirms** the heads-up and due-day reminder.
3. **It messages you** at each point, and you reply "done" once paid.

Use nag mode for the payments that matter most: Mindie keeps nudging until you reply done.

## What Mindie doesn't do

- **It doesn't pay invoices or access your bank.**
- **It doesn't sync with accounting software.**
- **It never contacts your suppliers.** Reminders come only to you.

## FAQ

### Can Mindie pay my suppliers?
No. Mindie doesn't connect to banks or accounting software and never moves money. It reminds you to pay.

### Can I send a photo of the invoice?
Yes. Send a photo or screenshot and Mindie reads the due date and details to set the reminder. Check what it confirms before relying on it.

### Can I see all payments due this month?
Yes. Ask "what payments are due this month?" and Mindie lists the reminders you've set.

### Can I set a reminder from the invoice's due date?
Yes. Send the date, or a photo of the invoice, and ask for a reminder a few days before.

### Can I save payment details in a note?
You can save a reference or supplier name. Don't send full bank logins or passwords in any chat.
