What is the first system a new small business should set up?

Set up the system that turns invoices into money before anything else, because every other system depends on it. You add an unpaid invoice (forward the invoice email, snap a photo, import a CSV or type it in), confirm it, and PayPigeon sends the follow-ups to your customer by email and SMS in your business's name, each with a pay-now link, until it is paid. Reminders stop the moment the invoice is paid.

It fits whatever you already use (QuickBooks, Wave, FreshBooks or paper) and the first 2 invoices are free with no card. The first 2 invoices are free with no card.
