Why Didn’t the Customer Receive the Invoice Email?

Here are the most common reasons and what to do next.


It landed in their spam or junk folder (most common)

Sometimes email providers get a little overprotective.

What they can do:

  • Check Spam or Junk folder

  • Search their inbox for “Skimmer”

  • Mark the email as “Not Spam” when they find it


The email hard-bounced

A “hard bounce” means the message never made it through at all. This typically happens if:

  • The email address was entered incorrectly

  • The mailbox no longer exists

  • The receiving server rejected it

When this happens, the email stops before it even reaches your inbox (or spam folder).


The address may have blocked us

In some cases, an address may have previously marked our emails as spam or blocked our sender. If that happens, future invoices won’t go through.


If they've checked spam and still don’t see it, we’re happy to investigate.

Please use the chat widget to connect with a Skimmer Support rep and send us:

  • The email address you’d like us to check

We’ll look in our system to confirm:

  • Whether the invoice was sent

  • Whether it was delivered

  • If it bounced or was blocked
