Payment Automation

Send Payment Links.
Get Paid Faster.

Manually sending invoices, tracking who's paid and chasing outstanding amounts is a time drain. We build automation that generates and sends payment links at the right moment, tracks payment status and follows up automatically, so cash flow improves without the awkward conversations.

What It Is

Payment Requests That Send Themselves

Payment automation connects your business processes to your payment systems so that payment requests are sent at exactly the right moment: when a booking is confirmed, a service is completed or an invoice is due. Receipts go out automatically, outstanding amounts are chased on a schedule, and your accounting records update without manual intervention.

The result is that you get paid faster, your cash flow is more predictable, and no one on your team needs to have an awkward phone call asking when an invoice is going to be settled.

What Payment Automation Handles

  • Payment links generated and sent automatically via WhatsApp or email
  • Booking deposits collected at the point of booking
  • Invoice reminders sent on a defined schedule
  • Payment status tracked in real time
  • Receipts and confirmations sent automatically on payment
  • Overdue follow up sequences that escalate appropriately
How It Works

From Trigger to Payment, Without Anyone Chasing

Here's how payment automation works from the moment an invoice or payment is due, through to receipt, reconciliation and accounting update, without anyone on your team doing anything manually.

1
Trigger event occurs
A booking is confirmed, a service is completed or an invoice due date is reached. The automation detects the event immediately.
2
Payment link generated dynamically
A unique payment link is generated for the specific amount and client, no manual creation needed, no copy pasting amounts or client details.
3
Payment link sent via WhatsApp or email
The link is delivered through the client's preferred channel with a clear, professional message, immediately and automatically.
4
Payment status monitored
The system checks whether payment has been made. If paid, the receipt goes out. If not paid, the reminder sequence begins at the configured intervals.
5
Automatic receipts sent on payment
The moment payment clears, a receipt and thank you message goes out automatically, professional, prompt and on brand.
6
Overdue reminders sent on schedule
If payment hasn't been received by the due date, a sequence of reminder messages goes out, friendly at first, firmer as time passes.

Who Needs This

Is Payment Automation Right for Your Business?

Any business that issues invoices or takes payments and currently relies on manual processes to collect and track them. If you've ever had to chase a client for payment more than once, or found out a payment was overdue because you checked a spreadsheet, this is for you.

The combination of instant payment requests and automated reminders consistently reduces the average time to payment, and eliminates the uncomfortable chase entirely.

FAQ

Common Questions About Payment Automation

We work with PayFast, Peach Payments, Yoco, PayGate and others common in South Africa. We can also work with international gateways including Stripe and PayPal if you trade globally.

The automation runs a reminder sequence: typically a friendly reminder on the due date, a firmer reminder 3 days later and an escalation message after 7 days. The sequence, timing and tone can be customised to match your business's approach to collections.

Yes. We can build integration so that when payment is received, the invoice is marked as paid in your accounting software automatically, eliminating manual reconciliation entirely. Sage is also supported.
