BEFORE YOU GET STARTED

Your questions, answered.

Can LensInvoice scan receipts and supplier invoices into expenses?

Yes. In Expenses, choose Add expense and Scan a bill. With the AI connection enabled, a JPG, PNG, WebP or PDF up to 8 MB can fill in the supplier, description, date, total, GST and suggested category. The original document is attached to the expense. Review and correct the fields before saving; scanning does not establish tax deductibility.

How does AI payment follow-up work?

After an invoice is more than 14 days overdue, the owner can request an AI draft using invoice details, earlier reminder records and recent correspondence recorded in LensInvoice. You review and edit the draft, then explicitly approve sending. The daily reminder job can notify you in the app when an invoice needs review. AI does not send stronger messages or add fees on its own.

When are reminders sent, and when does chasing stop?

Standard reminders follow the business’s settings; Dreamlab uses 7 and 14 days overdue. Later follow-ups require owner approval. Fully paid or cancelled invoices, invoices with no outstanding balance, and paused invoices are excluded. Changes to the invoice invalidate earlier drafts. An email already handed to the delivery provider cannot be recalled.

What happens when a client replies or disputes an invoice?

The client can use Send payment query on the invoice payment page. A query or dispute creates an in-app notification and pauses chasing for owner review. Ordinary email inbox replies are not automatically imported: record the reply in Payment follow-up to pause reminders. Browser push notifications are not enabled for this workflow.

Can I add a one-time late-payment fee?

For a new, unsent AUD invoice, you can record evidence that the client agreed to the fee before work began. Once the invoice is more than 28 days overdue, you may approve one AUD $15 fee and confirm its tax treatment. It is not charged at every reminder, cannot be applied twice, and can be waived if wholly unpaid. Paused or settled invoices are excluded. Confirm that the agreed fee and tax treatment are appropriate before using it.

Does LensInvoice take a commission from late fees?

No LensInvoice commission or separate AI follow-up charge is currently enabled. The one-time AUD $15 client late fee is separate from the planned AUD $15 monthly Starter subscription. Final subscription inclusions and any future AI pricing will be disclosed before charging.

Who is LensInvoice for?

LensInvoice is built for photographers, filmmakers, UGC creators, designers and independent studios. It brings project invoices, usage-licence wording, recurring drafts, AI receipt scanning and owner-reviewed payment follow-ups into one workflow.

Can UGC creators invoice brands for content and usage rights?

Yes. You can describe content deliverables and include tailored licence wording for the agreed channels, territory and duration. Confirm those terms with the brand before issuing the invoice; a template is not a substitute for legal advice.

Can I start using LensInvoice today?

Request access and Dreamlab Studios will reply with availability and next steps. Existing account holders can sign in.

What does LensInvoice cost?

Starter pricing is AUD $15 per month, with final inclusions and billing terms confirmed before you subscribe. Contact us about availability. Requesting access does not take payment or create a subscription.

How do my clients pay me?

Add your own bank-transfer details to your invoices and record payments when they arrive. Card payments for other creatives are still being worked on. Clients do not pay into Dreamlab’s Stripe account on your behalf.

Will recurring invoices send without my review?

The default workflow prepares a draft for you to check and send. Review each invoice’s dates, deliverables and payment details, and check that scheduled drafts appear when expected.

Does LensInvoice handle Australian GST?

Invoice settings support GST exclusive, GST inclusive and no GST. Choose the setting appropriate to your registration and the sale. Your accountant can confirm the correct treatment for your business.

Is this accounting software or guaranteed payment protection?

Neither. LensInvoice focuses on creative invoicing and licensing workflows. Keep your accounting and tax processes in place. AI payment follow-up drafts are available to account holders with an enabled AI connection. This is not insurance, a debt-recovery guarantee or automated legal action. Licence-expiry monitoring is not currently offered.
