WhatsApp invoicing, done properly

Not a workaround. Purpose-built WhatsApp delivery with professional formatting and payment links.

Send Directly to WhatsApp

Enter your client's WhatsApp number and hit send. The invoice arrives in their chat as a formatted message with a PDF attachment - no email, no downloading portals. Just WhatsApp.

Payment Link in the Message

Every WhatsApp invoice includes a direct payment link. Your client taps it, reviews the invoice, and pays by card or EFT - without ever leaving their phone. Fewer steps means faster payment.

Professional Formatting

The message is professionally formatted with your business name, invoice number, amount, and due date. It looks nothing like a forwarded screenshot. Your brand comes through on every delivery.

WhatsApp Payment Reminders

Send overdue payment reminders directly to your client's WhatsApp. Each reminder includes the outstanding amount and a payment link. Reminders via WhatsApp get read - unlike emails that sit in junk folders.

Simple Credit System

Premium includes 20 free WhatsApp messages per month. Additional credits cost R0.30 each and never expire. Email delivery is always included free with your plan.

SARS-Compliant Invoice Attached

The WhatsApp message includes a link to the full PDF tax invoice. The invoice is identical to what you'd send by email - SARS-compliant, with VAT, your logo, and all required fields. Delivery method does not affect compliance.

Quick answer

What is WhatsApp invoicing?

WhatsApp invoicing means sending professional tax invoices directly through WhatsApp Messenger instead of, or in addition to, traditional email. In South Africa, WhatsApp is the primary business communication channel for the vast majority of small businesses, contractors, and freelancers. Clients are far more likely to open a WhatsApp message than an email, making WhatsApp invoicing a practical way to get paid faster. Rebill's WhatsApp invoicing lets you create a fully SARS-compliant tax invoice and deliver it directly to your client's WhatsApp chat, including an embedded payment link. Clients do not need to download any app or create an account - the invoice arrives in the WhatsApp they already use every day. Premium includes 20 free messages per month; additional credits cost R0.30 each and never expire. Rebill is currently the only South African invoicing software with native WhatsApp invoice delivery built in.

Frequently asked questions

How does WhatsApp invoicing work?

Is the invoice SARS compliant when sent via WhatsApp?
