Common Mistakes to Avoid

Not sending a confirmation at all: Your client deserves confirmation. It also creates a useful paper trail and signals professionalism.

Including complaints about late payment in the confirmation: The payment confirmation is not the place to relitigate delays. Save any feedback for a separate conversation if truly necessary.
