What is WhatsApp Invoice Delivery?
WhatsApp invoice delivery is a feature that lets you send invoices directly to your clients through WhatsApp instead of email. Invoicr Pro includes this capability, letting UK sole traders and tradespeople reach clients on the messaging platform they already use.
How WhatsApp Invoice Delivery Works
WhatsApp invoice delivery sends your invoice as a message to a client's WhatsApp number. Instead of hunting through email inboxes, your invoice arrives on the same app your client uses daily. With Invoicr Pro, you can choose to deliver via WhatsApp, email, or both when you generate an invoice. The invoice includes a secure link to your client portal, where they can review payment details and settle the bill directly via UK open banking. This removes friction from payment collection, especially for tradespeople like plumbers, electricians, and gardeners who work with clients who prefer WhatsApp over email.
Why Use WhatsApp for Invoices?
Most UK consumers check WhatsApp more often than email. Sending your invoice there increases the chance it gets seen quickly. For tradespeople working on-site, WhatsApp delivery keeps your invoicing mobile and informal without losing professionalism. It also cuts down reminder follow-ups because clients see the message in real-time. Invoicr's system then tracks whether your client has opened the invoice link, so you know if they've reviewed your charges before chasing payment.
Payment After WhatsApp Delivery
The real advantage is what happens next. Once your client opens the WhatsApp invoice link, they land in your secure client portal and can pay you directly via UK open banking. This is bank-to-bank payment, not a card processor. On a £500 invoice, you pay around £4 in payment costs instead of £12.50 with a card payment. Invoicr Pro includes unlimited invoices, automated payment reminders, and quotes, so WhatsApp delivery pairs with a full invoicing workflow designed for UK freelancers.
Who Should Use This Feature?
Invoicr's WhatsApp invoice delivery is built for UK sole traders who want faster payment collection and lower fees. Plumbers, electricians, decorators, handymen, mobile mechanics, gardeners, and cleaners often find WhatsApp more natural than email. Consultants and small tradespeople invoicing on the move also benefit. It requires Invoicr Pro (£9.99/month or £79.99/year), which unlocks unlimited invoices, automated payment reminders, quotes, and this delivery channel.
