The “Word Document” Invoice Problem
Sending invoices created in Microsoft Word or Excel makes you look small. More importantly, it creates friction for the client. They have to open the file, find the “Bank Details” section at the bottom, type those numbers into their bank app, and double-check everything. This friction causes clients to delay payment until “later.”
The “Smart Invoice” Solution
Paycilo allows you to turn a static PDF into a Smart Payment Request. You can generate a sleek, professional invoice directly from your dashboard. Crucially, the invoice includes a prominent “PAY NOW” button and a QR code.
When the client clicks the button or scans the QR, they are taken to your secure Paycilo profile. Your bank details are pre-loaded. They just hit “Copy” and pay. You remove the data-entry work for your client, which speeds up your payment cycle.
Crypto Invoicing for the Modern Age
Working for a Web3 startup or an international tech firm? They might prefer to pay you in USDC or USDT. Paycilo invoices support this natively. Your invoice can display both your local Bank Account (for fiat) and your Wallet Address (for crypto), giving your client the flexibility to pay how they want.
Zero Monthly Fees
Unlike QuickBooks or FreshBooks which charge $15-$50/month just to send invoices, Paycilo’s invoicing tool is free. You get professional features without the recurring overhead, making it ideal for freelancers and independent contractors.
