Invoice Collection: Payment Links & SEPA | Daevon
The problem

What slows down your invoice collection

Three obstacles familiar to anyone billing on a regular basis.

Hours lost chasing payments

Calling or emailing every late-paying customer takes time every month, with no guarantee of when the money will land.

Invoices and payments on separate systems

Your accounting software shows invoices sent, the bank shows the transactions: figuring out what's actually paid takes constant manual checking.

Recurring billing redone every month

Issuing, sending and chasing invoices repeats every cycle, with the same manual work piling up month after month.

How it works

The flow that replaces your manual invoicing

You're not adding another tool to check every day: you connect your invoicing to Daevon and let payment links, SEPA debits and reconciliation run on their own at every due date.

Payment links

A unique link for every invoice, added to the PDF or the email. The customer pays by card or SEPA in seconds.

SEPA direct debit

Set up the mandate once: from then on, the debit runs on its own at every due date, at lower fees than card.

Automatic reconciliation

Every payment matches the correct invoice with no manual work, ready for export to accounting.

Automatic reminders

One reminder goes out before the due date, another if payment doesn't arrive. No manual sending.

Real case

From bank transfer to payment link: a services agency's story

A consulting agency billed around a hundred clients a month, listing only its IBAN on the invoice: average collection time exceeded 35 days, with near-weekly phone reminders.

With Daevon it added a payment link to every PDF invoice and turned on SEPA direct debit for clients on recurring contracts, leaving automatic reminders to handle the rest.

Within three months, average collection time dropped below 12 days, and manual reminders nearly disappeared from the finance team's week.

Real impact

What changes in your day-to-day work

Predictable cash flow

With scheduled collections, you know with more certainty when money will hit your account, instead of waiting on the customer's goodwill.

Invoices under control

See at a glance what's paid, pending or overdue, connected to your accounting software or ERP via API.

Less time on reminders

Reminders go out on their own before and after the due date: the finance team stops writing chase emails one by one.

Reconciliation without manual work

Every payment matches the right invoice on its own, ready for export to accounting without line-by-line checks.

Ready for international customers

Multi-currency and local payment methods to collect outside the SEPA area without running a parallel process.

Frequently asked questions

Questions we hear most often

What is Daevon's invoice collection?

It's the module that automates collection on invoices you've already issued: you send a payment link or set up a SEPA mandate, and Daevon collects, reconciles and updates the invoice status without manual work.

How does the payment link actually work?

You generate a unique link for the invoice and add it to the PDF or the email you send. The customer clicks, chooses card or SEPA, and pays in seconds, no manual bank transfer required.

What's the difference between SEPA direct debit and a bank transfer?

With a transfer, the customer has to remember to pay. With SEPA direct debit it's the opposite: they sign a mandate once, and from then on the amount is pulled automatically on every due date, at lower fees than card.

Can I automate recurring invoices too?

Yes. You set up the SEPA mandate once, define the amount and frequency, and Daevon handles the debit every cycle: if a payment fails, it retries automatically and notifies the customer.

How does reconciliation between payment and invoice work?

Every incoming payment is matched automatically to the corresponding invoice. Status updates in real time and can be exported to your accounting software.

Is the process secure for customer data?

Yes. Daevon is PCI DSS Level 1 certified: card data is tokenized, and SEPA flows follow the PSD2 and SEPA regulations in force across the EU.
