Invoices
Create and send professional invoices to clients and get paid instantly.
⬡ Dashboard feature
No API or code integration requiredInvoices are the easiest way to request payment from clients with no geo-restrictions or technical setup. Create a detailed invoice with line items, send it to your client's email, and they can pay instantly through our secure checkout page.
Recurring invoices are not currently supported. Each invoice is a one-time payment request.
Who invoices are for
Invoices are best suited for:
- Freelancers and consultants billing clients for completed work
- Service businesses sending payment requests after a job
- B2B merchants collecting payment for goods or services before or after delivery
- Anyone who needs a paper trail and a professional-looking payment request
If you need to accept payments at scale inside your own app, use the Checkout API instead.

Payment experience
When the client opens the invoice link, they see a summary of the items, the total due, and a Pay Now button. Clicking it takes them to the Seev checkout page where they can pay via:
- Mobile Money (MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash, Airtel Money)
- Card (Visa, Mastercard, Verve) - Coming Soon
- Bank transfer - Coming Soon
- Crypto - Coming Soon
Once payment is made, both you and the client receive a confirmation email. The invoice status updates to Paid in the Dashboard.

Downloading and printing
Every invoice can be downloaded as a PDF from the Dashboard — either before or after payment. Paid invoices include a payment confirmation stamp with the transaction reference and date.
Partial payments
Partial payments are not currently supported. An invoice is either fully paid or unpaid. If a client needs to pay in installments, create separate invoices for each installment.
