WHO IT'S FOR
The one-person business that's behind on billing
You're the boss, the worker and the admin department. The work gets done; the invoicing happens late at night, if it happens at all. Sound familiar?
-
Invoices go out late
Month-end comes and goes, and the invoices are still on your to-do list. Sometimes for two months.
SENT ON TIME -
You're not sure who's paid
You scroll the bank app trying to match EFTs that just say "payment".
A REFERENCE EACH -
Chasing feels awkward
So you don't, and what people owe you quietly grows.
POLITE REMINDERS -
Extras slip through
The extra session, the yearly increase, the water bill you meant to add.
ON THE NEXT INVOICE
Made for personal trainers, tutors, music teachers, coaches, bookkeepers, gardeners, cleaners, IT support and landlords with a few flats: anyone on their own who bills the same people every month. Tell Due what you do and it calls your people clients, tenants or parents.
HOW IT WORKS
Set it up once. It runs every month.
-
STEP 01
Add your clients
Type them in or upload your spreadsheet. Each one gets their own payment reference, like OSR-0001, and what they pay each month.
-
STEP 02
Invoices go out by themselves
Before each due date Due makes the invoices, with your bank details and their reference, and sends them on WhatsApp or email. Or check them first and send with one tap.
-
STEP 03
See who paid, remind who didn't
Record EFTs as they arrive and Due puts them against the right invoices. Late payers get a polite reminder, never a nasty one. Statements are a click away.
WHAT YOU GET
Everything for getting paid, nothing you don't need
-
WhatsApp and email
Invoices, reminders and receipts where people actually read them. WhatsApp messages go out between 8:00 and 19:00, Monday to Saturday.
-
Payment references
Every client pays with their own reference, so matching your bank statement takes minutes.
-
Proper invoices
Numbered tax invoices with VAT at 15% if you're registered, a PDF and a link your clients can open anywhere.
-
Yearly increases
Set the percentage and date once. Rent and fees go up on time, without you remembering.
-
Extras on the next invoice
Water and lights, outings, extra sessions: add them when they come up and they go on the next invoice.
-
Statements and credit
Overpayments become credit, part payments are tracked, and every client has a statement you can download as a PDF.
-
Room to grow
Get help later? Invite an assistant or your bookkeeper, and they see the same up-to-date numbers.
-
On your phone, between jobs
Install Due on your phone like an app and record a payment in the car park. It works on slow connections and in bright sun.
POPIA
Respectful by design
WhatsApp messages only go to people who agreed to them, and Due records when and how they agreed. A reply of STOP stops them at once, and every email has an unsubscribe link. When someone asks what you hold about them, download it in one click, or erase it.

QUESTIONS
Good to know
I'm already behind. Can I still start?
Yes, that's who Due is for. Add your clients, then add anything they already owe as a once-off charge and it goes on their next invoice. From then on, invoices and reminders go out by themselves.
I work on my own. Is Due overkill?
No. Due is made for one person with little time: set up in one sitting, then a few minutes a month to record the payments that come in. If you get help later, invite them.
Does Due take payments for me?
No. Your clients pay you by EFT straight into your own bank account, using the reference on their invoice. Due never holds your money: it tells you who has paid and who hasn't.
Do my clients need to download anything?
No. They get their invoice and reminders on WhatsApp or by email, with a link to view it and download a PDF.
What about VAT?
If you're VAT registered, add your VAT number and choose whether each amount includes VAT, excludes it or has none. Invoices show the VAT at 15%.
Is WhatsApp allowed under POPIA?
Yes, with consent. Due records when and how each client agreed to WhatsApp messages, and stops straight away if they reply STOP. You can download or erase a client's information whenever they ask.
Can I bring my clients from a spreadsheet?
Yes. Upload a CSV from Excel or Google Sheets, match the columns, and check the rows before anything is added.
What happens after the free trial?
Choose a plan and pay by card through Payfast, or stay on Free for up to 5 clients. Cancel any time; you keep your plan until the end of the month you've paid for.
This month's invoices could be going out tonight.
Catch up in one sitting: have your client list, your bank details and what everyone pays at hand. After that, it's a few minutes a month.
