Google reviews for photographers who bill in QuickBooks

Short answer: How can a photography business get more Google reviews from QuickBooks? InvoiceStars emails each customer a Google review request when their QuickBooks Online invoice is paid in full, 2 days later by default (adjustable 0 to 30 days). Each customer is asked at most once in 90 days, and ap@ and billing@ inboxes are skipped.

Photographers often take a booking retainer and bill the balance before or after the shoot. The best ask comes after the client has their photos, which is why the send delay matters.

How InvoiceStars handles it

The request goes out when an invoice reaches a $0 balance, plus your send delay.
If the balance is due before the shoot, lengthen the delay (up to 30 days) so the ask lands after delivery.
Retainer and balance invoices within 90 days produce one request, not two.
Every paying client is asked.
