Anyone self sabotaged when a client hssnt paid?

I don't freelance or anything but this really isn't the way to do with it. The way to deal with it is to have a clear contract up front, with clear terms on what will happen in event of non-payment. If that means the contract stipulates that you take their site down then awesome. Don't do something hidden and sabotaging though, maintain professionalism at all times.

@Zaphod65 so i shouldnt redirect the site to pornhub?? Haha

Always have contracts in place

I dropped some tables here and there 🤔

I had a client that was so bad at keeping on top of their invoices that I hooked their app into our Xero instance and auto disable their admin panel after they were 30days late (showed banners after the 10day mark).

The beauty of this approach was that their front-end was still able to take orders and customer payment, but they were unable to process any orders for shipping - so i had both a nagscreen and their customers reminding them to pay me.
