Invoices

Invoices are a structured way to request payment without writing code. Create a detailed invoice with line items, share it with your customer, and track its status from the Dashboard.

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.

Creating an invoice

1. Log in to the Seev Dashboard.
2. Go to Invoices → New Invoice.
3. Fill in the client details — name, email, and optionally a phone number.
4. Add line items with descriptions, quantities, and unit prices.
5. Apply a discount or tax rate if needed — Seev calculates the total automatically.
6. Set a due date if the invoice has a payment deadline (optional).
7. Add any internal notes or a message to the client (optional).
8. Click Send to email the invoice to the client, or Copy Link to share it manually.

Invoice details

Reusing customers

You can select an existing saved customer or add a new customer while creating an invoice. Saved customers can also be reused for payment links, so you do not need to enter the same contact details repeatedly.

An invoice cannot be continued until it has a customer and at least one line item.

Finding invoices

The invoice table is paginated and filtered on the server. Use the status pills to switch between All, Draft, Sent, Pending, Paid, Cancelled, and Overdue invoices. Search, currency, recipient, date, and sorting filters narrow the result set without making the pill counts misleading.

• Pending combines draft and sent invoices.
• Overdue means the due date has passed and the invoice is neither paid nor cancelled.

Branding and payment links

The invoice branding screen controls the business name, email, logo, brand colour, and template used on customer-facing invoices. You can prepare invoices before organization verification is approved, but generating a live checkout link requires approved organization verification.

Paid invoices retain their completed payment details as a receipt record. They cannot generate another checkout link.

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 hosted Seev checkout page. The customer can use the methods enabled on that checkout.

• Mobile Money (MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash, Airtel Money)

Other methods shown as upcoming in the product are not yet available for live collection.

Once payment is made, both you and the client receive a confirmation email. The invoice status updates to Paid in the Dashboard.

Invoice statuses

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.
