Reminders that go out without you
Three follow-ups send themselves: three days before due, the day after, a week later. In your wording, and every send is logged, so “just following up” is never your job again.

The honest truth
Most small businesses still invoice like it's 2008.
Word docs renamed Final_v3. Proof of payment as a WhatsApp screenshot. A spreadsheet only one person understands. And no straight answer to “has this one been paid?”
SettleMe is just the invoicing part, done properly.
Runs while you don't
The chasing and the retainers.
The two jobs that quietly eat an evening a month. SettleMe does them whether or not you remember to.
Retainers that invoice themselves
Set the schedule once, weekly to annually. Each cycle gets a real invoice with its own number and VAT, sent automatically or held as a draft for your nod.
Send the invoice.
Unlimited invoices and customers, forever. We don't meter the thing you came here to do.
Built for how SA pays.
Rand and 15% VAT out of the box, banking details on every invoice, EFT-first, WhatsApp-ready.
Upgrade when it's obvious.
Start free. Reach for Pro automations only once they'd clearly save you the evening.

Why we built it
“We built SettleMe because we were tired of watching good work sit unpaid in someone's inbox. Getting paid shouldn't be the hardest part of the job. So we made the invoicing calm, and left the accounting-software bloat behind.”

Privacy matters
We don't see what you charge, or who your clients are.
Not a claim about intentions. Our own support and admin tools do not show invoice amounts or your customer list, so there is nothing for us to look at. We'll mind our own business, so you can get on with yours.
Never sold or sharedPOPIA-alignedYours to export any time
Common questions, South African answers.
Yes. When you add your VAT number, invoices include everything SARS requires of a valid tax invoice: your details, the client's, invoice number, date, the VAT clearly broken out at 15%, and the totals. No VAT number? You'll send clean, compliant non-VAT invoices instead.
By EFT, the way most South African businesses already pay. Your banking details sit clearly on every invoice, and your client pays into your account directly. SettleMe never sits between you and your money.
Stop chasing.
Start getting paid.
