Invoicing a Client Overseas

The situation

You did work for someone in another country. A bank transfer would cost you both a fee, take three to five days, and lose something in the exchange rate along the way.

What to do

1. Open Payment Links and create a new link.
2. Put the amount in your currency. Your client does not need to work out a conversion.
3. Write the description for your client, not for your books. "Logo design, final payment" reads better than "INV-0042".
4. Put your invoice number in the Reference field so it stays attached to your records.
5. Send the link with your invoice.

What your client does

They open the link and pay from their wallet. They do not need a Brykto account and they do not sign up for anything.

The funds arrive in your wallet in seconds, and you see the link marked Paid within about half a minute.

Why this suits overseas work

• The link is good for 7 days, which covers a client who only reads email on Monday.
• You price in your currency and they pay from theirs. Neither of you handles the conversion.
• Brykto takes nothing per payment, at either end.

Chasing it up

If it goes unpaid the link expires after 7 days. Bring the same link back from your dashboard rather than creating a new one, so your invoice reference stays on the same record.
