Payment Setup on Afri Invoice lets you connect your preferred bank account or payment gateway so customers can pay you instantly and securely. In just a few clicks, your invoices become fully payable, automated, and tracked end to end without any manual intervention.

Step 1 — Add Your Bank Account Details to Your Invoice

You can add your bank account details directly to your invoice, in the footer or the notes section, so your client can see exactly where to send payment when they receive the document. You control what appears and how it is worded on each invoice you create.

Add your account name, account number, and bank name in the invoice footer or notes field.
For international transfers, include your sort code, IBAN, or routing number in the same section.
You can customise the payment instruction wording per invoice for example, specifying a payment reference your client should use when transferring funds.
Your client reads the details directly on the invoice and transfers to the account you have specified. No ambiguity, no back-and-forth.
