Quick answer

Send the invoice on WhatsApp as soon as it is issued, with a payment link, then remind the customer three days before the due date, on the due date, and three days after, in a friendly tone with clear buttons. WhatsApp is read faster than email, and a polite reminder collects payment without awkwardness. In Modeer 360, the invoice, reminders and payment all sit in the same customer profile.

01Why use WhatsApp for invoices?

The customer sees the message within minutes, not days.
A one-tap payment link in the same chat.
Asking about the invoice becomes an easy conversation.
A complete record: when it was sent, when it was read, and when it was paid.

04E-invoicing

In Saudi Arabia, invoices are subject to the e-invoicing requirements of the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA). Sending an invoice on WhatsApp is a delivery method; what matters most is that it is issued from a compliant system. Ask the Modeer 360 team about compliance and the integrations available for your business.

Requirements differ by country and implementation phase. Consult your accountant.

05From invoice to payment

In Modeer 360, the invoice is issued from the customer profile after the deal, sent on WhatsApp, and partial and full payments are recorded. Managers can see overdue receivables per employee and per customer.

Key takeaways

WhatsApp is read faster than email, which speeds up collection.
Remind customers before, on and after the due date, in a friendly tone.
A payment link in the same message shortens the path to payment.
Make sure your invoices are issued from a system that meets your country's requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Do payment reminder messages cost money?

Should I send the invoice as a PDF?
