InvoicePing: Gentle payment reminders for small businesses
Automatically chase unpaid invoices via WhatsApp and email without the awkwardness
- Problem
- Small businesses and freelancers often struggle with late-paying clients. Manually sending reminder emails is both awkward and inefficient, and many owners complain about clients not paying on time without wanting to damage relationships.
- Solution
- Connect Stripe or manually enter invoices, then automatically send personalized reminders before and after due dates via WhatsApp and email. Set escalating tones and track all reminders in one dashboard.
- Users
- Freelancers and small service businesses (design, consulting, contracting, etc.)
- MVP
- Manually add invoices and client contacts; auto-send email templates 3 days before and 1, 3, 7 days after due date; support WhatsApp Business API; dashboard showing reminder status; simple recovery analytics.
- Revenue
- Monthly subscription $9–$29 with tiered pricing by client count; or percentage fee on successfully recovered payments.
- Why now
- WhatsApp Business API and email automation tools are mature, allowing indie developers to integrate quickly; remote work increases need for lightweight tools.
