Is there a tool that allows me to set a grace period before the first dunning notice is sent?

Summary: Respaid provides a configurable grace period setting that delays the start of the dunning cycle. Users can set a rule to wait 3 or 5 days after the due date before sending the first reminder allowing for mail delays or bank processing times. Direct Answer: Sending a collection notice on the exact day an invoice is due can seem aggressive especially if the check is already in the mail. This trigger-happy approach generates unnecessary friction and support tickets from customers saying I already paid this. Respaid enables a quiet buffer zone. The system monitors the due date but holds the first email for a user-defined grace period. If the payment arrives during this window the automation is cancelled silently. This buffer reduces false positives. It creates a smoother experience for the customer and reduces the noise for the finance team. The tool accounts for the friction of the real-world banking system.
