Sound familiar?

Contractors share the same frustration every single day.

😩

"I hate being the guy who asks for money."

You did the work. You sent the invoice. Now you're waiting... and waiting... because you don't want to seem pushy.

📧

"I sent three emails and nothing happened."

Your invoices go to spam, get buried, or clients just... forget. Net 30 becomes Net 60, then Net 90.

📊

"I'm tracking everything in Excel."

You manually note what's due, what's overdue, and chase it yourself. Hours every week that should be spent on actual work.

PayCollect fixes this — automatically.

Set it up once. Never chase a payment manually again.

Up and running in 5 minutes

No accounting degree. No complex setup. Just results.

1

Add your clients

Name, phone number, email — takes 30 seconds per client. Import from CSV if you have a list.

2

Create invoices

Add your invoice amount and due date. Or connect to QuickBooks or FreshBooks to import automatically.

3

Pick your tone

Friendly? Professional? Firm? Set the tone once and PayCollect applies it to every reminder automatically.

4

Get paid

PayCollect sends reminders 3 days before, on the due date, and after. You focus on work — we focus on the follow-up.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Built specifically for trade contractors — not generic small business invoicing.

SMS & WhatsApp

Reminders land directly in your client's pocket — not their spam folder. Higher open rate than email.

Smart timing

Reminders go out 3 days before, on the due date, and at 3, 7, and 14 days overdue. You set it and forget it.

Tone control

Choose how firm the reminders get. From friendly nudge to "this is going to a collections agency."

Client history

See who's always late. Flag chronic late-payers. Decide if you want to do business with them again.

CSV import

Already have a client list in a spreadsheet? Import in one click. Works with Excel, Google Sheets, and CSV exports.

Frequently asked questions

Do my clients need to install anything?

No. Reminders go straight to your client's phone via SMS or WhatsApp — the same apps they use every day. No app download, no account creation for them.

What if a client gets annoyed by reminders?

You control the frequency and tone. You can pause or cancel reminders for any client at any time. Most contractors tell us clients actually appreciate the reminders — it makes them look professional.

Is this for accounting?

No. PayCollect is purely for payment follow-ups. You create invoices (or import from QuickBooks/FreshBooks), and we handle the reminders. For accounting, keep using whatever you use today.

How is this different from QuickBooks reminders?

QuickBooks charges $17+/month for their cheapest plan and puts automated reminders behind higher tiers. PayCollect starts at $9/month and is designed specifically for trade contractors — simple setup, no accounting features, SMS and WhatsApp support.

Can I import my existing client list?

Yes. Upload a CSV with names, phone numbers, and emails — we'll import everything in seconds. Works with any spreadsheet software.
