Online Invoicing Tools

Cash flow is everything in business. You can have great services or products, but if you are not paid on time, your business suffers. In the traditional invoicing process, there is much paperwork, data entry, and follow-up calls, leading to delayed payments. Online invoicing software, particularly WebLedger, can transform the way you handle finances, ensuring timely payments and improving efficiency.

Issues with Conventional Invoicing

Before examining solutions, let’s review the typical problems companies have with conventional invoicing:

Time-Consuming Creation: Manually filling out invoices and computing totals is time-consuming, so you can devote to other aspects of your business.

High Risk of Errors: Handwritten creation of invoices lends itself to errors. Errors such as incorrect numbers or omitted tax calculations can create invoices that slow up payments and damage customer relationships.

Slow Payment: Sending invoices through postal services or as PDFs can delay. Clients need to receive, process, and pay the invoice, which lengthens the cycle of payment.

Inability to Track: It is not easy to determine whether a client has received an invoice or when it’s due. Without a proper method of tracking invoices, follow-ups are missed, and money is lost.

Delayed Payments: All these problems lead to one big issue: slow payments that impact your cash flow and capacity to cover expenses or invest in growth.

Compliance Headaches: In India, for instance, complying with GST and e-invoice regulations can be complex. Manual processes raise the risk of errors and penalties.

  1. Quickly Create E-Invoices: Easy Compliance

In India, e-invoicing is crucial for GST compliance. WebLedger makes it easy:

 

  • Simple E-Invoice Generation: In one click, WebLedger generates instant e-invoices compliant with GST regulations. This is a must-have for businesses with an Annual Aggregate Turnover (AATO) of more than INR 5 crore (and INR 10 crore and above from April 1, 2025, with a 30-day reporting period).

  • Automatic Data Transmission to GST Portal: WebLedger sends the necessary data to the GST portal automatically, reducing manual data entry for your GST returns. This auto-fills your GSTR-1 and lowers the chances of errors.

  1. The Power of Payment Links: Easy Collections

Offering payment options is key to getting paid faster. WebLedger makes this simple:

  • Integrated Payment Links: Every WebLedger invoice has an integrated secure payment link. Your customers can simply press the link in the email or electronic invoice to get access to a safe payment gateway.
  • Multiple Payment Options: The payment link is compatible with multiple payment modes, such as UPI, debit cards, credit cards, net banking, and common mobile wallets. This multiplicity suits your customers’ choice and simplifies payments.
  • Faster Payments: By enabling you to skip manual bank transfers or checks, the payment link accelerates how soon you receive money.

  1. Scan and Pay using QR Code: Quickest Payment Option

For quick payments, WebLedger’s QR code functionality is a game-changer:

  • QR Code on Bill: When you generate an invoice on WebLedger, it has a distinctive QR code.
  • Instant Payment through WebLedger Books: Customers can simply use the WebLedger Books website to scan the QR code and make instant payments in seconds. Payment details are pre-entered to minimise errors and speed up the process.

  • Convenience: This contactless payment solution enhances the client experience, resulting in happier customers and more regular payments.

  1. Smart Invoice Tracker: Track Your Money

Receiving rapid payments is not about sending out invoices; it’s about having control over your money at all times. WebLedger’s invoice tracker provides you with clear visibility and control:

  • Real-time Status Updates: You get to view the real-time status of each invoice—sent, opened, partially paid, or due. This ensures you follow up in advance without having to guess.
  • Automated Payment Reminders: Create reminders that can be sent through email, SMS, or WhatsApp. Automated reminders eliminate the need for manual reminders and ensure prompt payment on time. Reminders can be scheduled prior to the due date, on the due date, as well as after different intervals post-due date.
  • Ageing Reports: Create in-depth reports which display overdue payments classified by how old they are (i.e., 0-30 days, 31-60 days, 60+ days). This enables you to set priorities on collection and identify possible bad debts early.
