PayToMe editorial policy: how we write and review

The PayToMe editorial policy describes how the English guides, glossary entries, templates, comparisons and tool pages on this site are made, so you can judge how far to rely on them. We write about invoicing, taxes and getting paid. Those topics affect people’s money, so we hold ourselves to a higher standard than for ordinary articles. PayToMe is in public beta, and this policy describes our current practice, not an aspiration.

Our standards

• Be accurate. Every number and every legal or tax statement must be true and checkable.
• Be specific. We prefer worked numbers, checklists and examples over general advice.
• Be honest about status. Free tools and this website are live. Everything else is described as planned or in development.
• Be useful first. Pages exist to answer a question, not to repeat a keyword.
• Never invent. We do not publish made-up customers, testimonials, statistics, awards or user counts.

How pages are researched

Before drafting, we identify the question a reader has and look at what already exists, to find what is missing or unclear. For facts, we go to primary sources where possible: tax agencies, government and regulator websites, legislation, and the official documentation of card networks and payment providers. We prefer these to blog posts and summaries. If we cannot verify a statement from a reliable source, we leave it out.

How English pages are drafted

This section covers our English originals. Translations work differently; see the Translations section below.

We use AI assistance to draft. A language model can produce a first version quickly, but it can also state wrong things with confidence. For that reason:

1. A person decides what each page should cover and what it should claim.
2. AI-assisted drafts are checked against the sources before publication, line by line for numbers and rules.
3. A person edits for clarity, tone and honesty, and removes anything that cannot be supported.
4. Pages follow an internal content guide, and automated checks catch problems such as missing links, wrong length or broken structure.

AI does not decide facts on this site. Where a page has been reviewed by a named expert, the page says so. Pages that have not had an expert review are not labeled as reviewed.

Translations

Translations of our pages are produced with Claude, an AI model from Anthropic. They do not get the line-by-line human check described above before publication. Automatic checks run on structure, numbers and prices, links and components, and the built page is checked for keywords and length. Native speakers review translations as we go, after publication. English is the original, and the English page is the reference if a translation differs. If you spot a mistake in a translation, please tell us through the contact page. Corrections are welcome.

Sources and citations

Where we rely on a regulation or an official figure, we link to the source on the relevant page, usually in a “Sources” section. We cite the original publisher. We write in our own words and do not copy text from other sites. Links to sources can go out of date, so if you find a broken one, please tell us.

Care with tax and legal topics

Content about taxes, invoicing law, late fees and payment rules can affect your money and compliance. On these topics we:

• say “usually” or “check your state’s rules” when rules vary by place;
• name the jurisdiction a rule applies to;
• avoid giving advice for a specific situation;
• state that the content is general information and not legal, tax or accounting advice;
• recommend that you confirm important decisions with a qualified professional.

You can see how the tools apply this on the invoice generator and the sales tax calculator pages.

Comparing with other products

Our comparison pages discuss other invoicing products. We follow these rules:

• Facts about a competitor come from that company’s own official pages, and we cite them.
• Every comparison shows the date it was last verified, and we recheck regularly.
• We use company and product names only to identify them.
• We describe PayToMe as a public beta, mark what is live and what is in development, and do not compare against features that are not live as if they were.
• We are not neutral about our own product, so we try to be fair about the facts and let you judge.

Corrections and updates

We fix mistakes quickly and openly. When we correct a factual error, we update the page and its “updated” date. For significant corrections, we describe what changed. We review pages regularly, and when a rule changes, we revise the affected pages.

How to report an error

If you think something on a PayToMe page is wrong, outdated or unclear, email hello@paytome.si with the page address, the statement you question and, if you can, a source. We read every report. The contact page lists other addresses.

Independence and advertising

This site has no advertising and no sponsored content. No one pays to have a page written or ranked. If that changes, we will label such content clearly and update this policy.

What this policy does not promise

We cannot promise that every page is free of errors or current at all times. We can promise to check our work, to be clear about what we know, and to fix what we get wrong. To learn who we are, see the about page, or browse our guides.
