Send invoices on WhatsApp that get paid
Your customers read WhatsApp. leke turns every invoice into a short WhatsApp message with the amount, the due date, their own reference and a link to the invoice, ready for you to send from your phone.
What your customer gets
One short message, written in your business's name, with everything they need to pay you correctly the first time.
Your name and theirs
The message greets them by first name and says who it's from, so it never looks like spam.
The amount and due date
Clear and up front. No attachment to open before they know what they owe.
Their own reference
It stays the same every time, so they can save you as a beneficiary, and their payment finds its invoice.
A link to the invoice
Your bank details, PayShap ID and the full invoice, on a page that opens fast on any phone.
R1,850 due by 7 October
Pay by EFT
Your reference
Use this reference every time you pay, so we know it is you.

An invoice page made for phones
The link opens the invoice with how to pay first: the reference with a Copy button, your bank details and your PayShap ID. Below that is the invoice itself, with your logo, every line with its quantity and price, and what's still due.
Your customer can see their other invoices with you and what they still owe, save a PDF, and upload their proof of payment right there.
- Opens fast, even on slow data
- Your bank details show once we've checked your business
- Nothing to download or sign up for
How to send an invoice on WhatsApp with leke
The first time takes a few minutes. After that, an invoice takes seconds.
Add your customer
Their name and WhatsApp number. leke gives them their own reference, like OL104, that stays with them.
Add what it's for
The lines with quantity and price, the due date (your usual payment terms) and the job or address.
Read the message
leke shows you the exact words your customer will get. Nothing is sent until you're happy.
Tap Send
WhatsApp opens on your phone with the message ready. Send it, and leke watches your statement for the payment.
Why WhatsApp works better than email for invoices
Most South Africans live on WhatsApp. An invoice there gets seen the same day, and your customer can reply with a question instead of letting it sit in an inbox.
The message comes from your own number, so your customer knows who it's from. leke writes quotes, deposit invoices, reminders, receipts and statements the same way: short, polite and clear.
Questions about WhatsApp invoicing
Does my customer need an app?
No. They get a normal WhatsApp message with a link. The invoice opens in their phone's browser, and they can save it as a PDF.
Does it work with WhatsApp Business?
Yes. When you tap Send, leke opens the WhatsApp you use on your phone, WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business, with the message ready to go.
Does sending cost anything extra?
No. You send the message from your own WhatsApp, the same as any other message.
Can I bill many customers at once?
Yes. Bill everyone for the month in one tap. Each message then waits in your list of invoices to send, and goes out with one tap each.
How do my customers pay?
By EFT or PayShap, straight into your own bank account, using the reference on the invoice. leke never holds your money.
Can I send quotes and receipts too?
Yes. Quotes your customer can accept on their phone, deposit invoices, receipts and statements all go out on WhatsApp the same way. See quotes and invoices.
