Invoice & Payment Management

Community Link's invoicing system transforms the way groups bill and collect from their members. Create professional invoices for contributions, levies, fines, loan repayments, or any other obligation in seconds. Each invoice is automatically assigned a unique reference number, stamped with the due date, and linked to the relevant member's account. Members receive a notification the moment an invoice is raised against them, eliminating the confusion of informal verbal demands and ensuring everyone is working from the same numbers.

Recording payments against invoices is equally seamless. Treasurers can log M-Pesa transactions by entering the Safaricom transaction code, record bank transfers with the bank reference, or capture cash receipts — each payment method tracked separately for clean reconciliation. Partial payments are supported; the system automatically calculates the outstanding balance and updates the invoice status. Once fully paid, an invoice is marked as settled and a payment receipt is automatically generated and available for the member to download.

The invoice management dashboard gives Treasurers a live view of all outstanding, overdue, and settled invoices across the entire group membership. Bulk invoice generation lets you raise the same invoice — for a monthly contribution or a special levy — for all members simultaneously, rather than creating them one by one. Automated payment reminder escalations — a gentle nudge before the due date, a firm reminder on the day, and an overdue notice thereafter — dramatically reduce the time Treasurers spend chasing payments and improve the group's overall cash-flow predictability.
