WhatsApp invoice delivery in South Africa works by sending your client a WhatsApp message with the invoice PDF attached and a tap-to-pay link included. Each delivery costs one WhatsApp credit. Credits are available to Premium plan users (R99/month) and can be purchased in bundles of 50, 100, 250, 500, or 1,000. New accounts receive a small allocation of free credits to get started.
What does the client receive via WhatsApp?
When you send an invoice via WhatsApp, your client receives: a WhatsApp message from Rebill, the invoice PDF as an attachment they can save or print, and a payment link they can tap to pay by card (Paystack, Yoco, or PayFast) or EFT. No login is required on the client side.Checking your balance
Go to Settings → WhatsApp. Your current credit balance is shown at the top, split into Free Credits (given when you first sign up) and Paid Credits (credits you've purchased).

Do WhatsApp credits expire?
WhatsApp credits never expire. Buy in larger bundles (250, 500, or 1,000 credits) to ensure you always have a balance available, especially if you send invoices to multiple clients per month.Low balance reminder
You can set a threshold in the WhatsApp settings so Rebill notifies you when your credit balance drops below a certain number. This way you won't run out unexpectedly.
