CIERA Get Paid
Founding users wanted · Western Cape first

For trades and services that send invoices

Get paid in days, not months, without chasing anyone.

Send quotes and invoices on WhatsApp in your own name. CIERA checks your bank so you never remind a customer who already paid, and keeps every slip ready for your accountant.

How it works

Three steps, once a month

1

Quote and invoice

Send a quote from your price list and turn it into an invoice in one tap, with your customer's own payment reference.

2

Send on WhatsApp

Quotes and invoices go out on WhatsApp from your own number, with your bank details and a link to the invoice.

3

See who paid

Upload your bank statement from your banking app. CIERA matches every payment and only reminds the customers who really haven't paid.

What customers see

A clear invoice from you, not from an app

  • Comes from your own WhatsApp, in English or Afrikaans, in your tone.
  • Every family gets its own reference, so payments match themselves.
  • Reminders always say if you have already paid, thank you, and never go to someone who has paid.
  • You approve every message before it goes. Nothing is sent without you.

Be one of our first 30 businesses

  • Free for your first 60 days. No card needed to start.
  • We set it up with you. Send us your customer list and open invoices and we load them.
  • A direct line to the team. Tell us what to fix and see it change week by week.
  • Simple pricing after that, based on how many customers you bill. You'll know the price before your 60 days end.

Our promise: if you're not getting paid at least 30% faster within 60 days, you don't pay until you are.

We store what you type here (your name, business, town, how many you bill, how you check payments today and your WhatsApp number) so we can set you up. Read the privacy notice.

Questions

Before you sign up

Do my customers need to download anything?

No. They get a normal WhatsApp message from you with the amount, a reference and a link to the invoice. They pay the way they always do.

Does CIERA hold my money?

No. EFT and PayShap payments go straight into your own bank account. Online payments go through Paystack, which pays them out to your own bank account. CIERA never keeps your money.

Which banks does it work with?

You upload your statement from your banking app (PDF, CSV or OFX). We're starting with FNB, Standard Bank, Absa, Nedbank, Capitec and Investec.

What about customers who send screenshots?

Add the screenshot and the amount on it. CIERA pauses reminders for that customer, and only marks the invoice paid once the money shows in your bank. It flags a wrong amount, a screenshot already used for another invoice, and money that has not arrived after 3 business days.

Can my bookkeeper or accountant use it?

Yes. At month end you can send them a tidy pack of every payment, matched to the bank, with proof attached.
