Tax Invoice
INV-2026-0142
“I used to spend Sundays catching up on admin. Now my invoices, quotes, and follow-ups all live in one place — and clients pay before I've even chased them.”
The kind of week we're building I Need Invoice for.
Everything you need to bill, get paid, and stay compliant.
Built around how South African operators actually run a business — not a US template translated to ZAR.
SARS-valid invoices
Tax invoices that pass an audit out the box — VAT numbers, line-level tax, ZAR equivalent on multi-currency, every required field.
Quotes that turn into invoices
Send a quote, get the nod, click once. The invoice keeps the same numbering, line items, and client — no copy-paste, no errors.
Get paid the South African way
PayShap, Ozow, Stitch, Yoco, Stripe and Apple/Google Pay — your client picks the rail, you see the cash settle.
Recurring & subscriptions
Set a cadence, sit back. Monthly retainers, quarterly hosting, annual licenses — they go out without you lifting a finger.
Partial payments & deposits
Take 50% upfront, balance on delivery. Track each part-payment against the invoice with a running balance you can read in a glance.
Multi-currency, FX captured
Invoice in USD or EUR, settle in ZAR. We snapshot the SARB/ECB rate at issue so your VAT201 lines up with what SARS expects.
Reminders that don't feel rude
A friendly nudge before due, a firmer one after, all in your tone of voice. Late-paying clients pay 14 days sooner. On average.
Hosted invoice page
One link, one click, your client pays. No account, no app, no friction — just a clean page on your domain that converts.
Less admin. More done.
I Need Invoice's AI features are built into the flow you already use — no separate tool, no prompt engineering. Your quota resets every month. Free plan included.
Voice-to-invoice
Record a 30-second memo — describe the work, the client, the amounts. AI drafts the full invoice for you to review and send. No typing required.
Smart payment reminders
Overdue invoice? Generate a follow-up email in your tone — friendly, firm, or final — with the amounts and dates already filled in. One click, sent.
Daily business nudges
Every morning, I Need Invoice scans your invoices and surfaces the 1–3 actions that move the most money — chase that overdue, send that quote, follow up that lead.
From quote to cash in your account — in three calm steps.
No setup call, no migration project. Sign up, set your business details once, and bill someone today.

- 2

Pick a client, line items, tax category. The PDF is ready. Email it on I Need Invoice or share a hosted link your client can pay from.
- 3
Get paid, automatically
PayShap, Ozow, Stripe — money lands, the invoice marks itself paid, the activity feed pings, and reminders stop. Done.
Compliance that goes with you, not against you.
We map every invoice to the EN 16931 / Peppol BIS schema — the same one SARS's upcoming Central Tax Hub and the EU's ViDA mandate already use. Translation: when the rules change, you don't.
- SARS-valid Tax Invoice fields, automatic.
- POPIA-aware data handling, by design.
- Append-only audit log on every invoice event.
- Forward-compatible with SARS Hub & EU Peppol.
Questions, answered.
Is I Need Invoice really SARS-compliant?
Yes. Every invoice carries the fields SARS requires for a valid tax invoice — VAT numbers, line-level tax category, totals, currency, and the words 'Tax Invoice'. Multi-currency invoices print the ZAR equivalent at the captured FX rate.
Do I need a sending domain?
No, you can start sending from a verified I Need Invoice domain. When you're ready to send from your own (e.g. you@studio.co.za), we walk you through DKIM and SPF verification in settings.
Which payment rails do you support?
PayShap (instant), Ozow & Stitch (instant EFT), Yoco / Peach / PayFast (cards), and Stripe with Apple/Google Pay for international clients. Your client picks the rail.
Can I send recurring invoices?
Yes — set a cadence (weekly, monthly, quarterly, custom), and I Need Invoice generates and dispatches each invoice on schedule. Pause, skip, or edit a single occurrence without breaking the series.
What about credit notes and partial payments?
First-class. Issue a credit note against any invoice; record deposits or part-payments and the running balance updates everywhere — invoice, client record, and dashboard.
