Invoicing for people who run small businesses
Collekta is a calmer way to bill: add a client, add the project, send a quote or an invoice — and get paid by mobile money or card from one link. Nothing to install, nothing to explain to your customer.
How it works
Everything in Collekta sits on one line — from meeting a client to money in your account. If it isn't on this line, we didn't build it.
| Invoice | Client | Amount | Due | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| INV-0036 | Okafor & Sons Hardware | 7,600.00 | 30 Jul | Overdue |
| INV-0042 | Harborview Dental Clinic | 12,750.00 | 21 Aug | Sent |
| INV-0043 | Northfield Coffee Roasters | 9,900.00 | 24 Aug | Partial |
Your morning glance
The dashboard answers the three questions every owner asks, in that order — then gets out of the way. Every number is exact and lined up. Overdue is a fact the app works out for you, not a folder you have to remember to check.
Get paid
Every invoice carries a public pay page — no login, no app to install. Mobile money first, because that's how most of your customers already pay; card as the fallback.

People
Photographers, clinics, workshops, agencies, tutors, farms. Businesses with a person at the front, not a finance department at the back.
I used to send a PDF and then chase for two weeks. Now they pay from the link while we're still on the phone.
My receptionist raises invoices, I approve, patients pay by MoMo before they leave. Nobody touches a card machine.
The quote-to-invoice thing alone saved me an hour a week. And the numbers finally match my accountant's.
We ran a small studio and used the big invoicing tools. They were built for accountants and priced for enterprises — 80 payment gateways, 400 settings, and still no way for a customer to just pay from their phone.
Collekta is our answer: the five things a small business actually does, done properly, with the way people already pay built in. It's deliberately small. We think you'll feel the difference the first time an invoice pays itself.
Documents
Tax sits on each line with your defaults. What you preview is exactly what your client receives — as email, as PDF, as the pay page. It looks like you meant it.
| Description | Qty | Rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Booking system — milestone 2 | 1 | 9,500.00 | 9,500.00 |
| Staff training (2 sessions) | 2 | 750.00 | 1,500.00 |
Why Collekta
Outstanding, overdue and paid-this-month are the first things you see. Every amount is aligned and exact.
New invoice is one keystroke from anywhere. Send and pay link are the same button. No page takes more than a second.
Invite staff to issue documents without touching billing or payment settings. Roles limit what people can change, not what they can see.
See how much of each project you've billed and collected. Every quote and invoice belongs somewhere.
Polite, automatic nudges at +1, +7 and +14 days with the balance and the pay link. Or one click when you'd rather do it yourself.
No expense tracking, no time-sheets, no 80 payment gateways. If it isn't between "client" and "paid", it isn't here.
Leave your email and we'll tell you the moment Collekta is available where you are.
