Guide
Connect the books you already keep
Chase from the source of truth — Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, or a spreadsheet — not a stale export.
Useful reading
Written for operators, not theorists
Practical notes for owners and office managers who invoice other businesses on terms. No invented statistics — just the patterns that show up again and again.
All guidesWhy sync beats copy-paste
When a customer pays in Xero or QuickBooks, the chase should know. When a credit note lands, the balance should drop. Sync (or a careful import) keeps the overdue register honest so you never chase a settled invoice or miss a new one.
What PayBlah pulls
Connect once and overdue invoices flow in on a schedule, with a manual sync-now option when you need it. No accounting software? Upload CSV or XLS with a column-mapping wizard that remembers your layout. Manual entry covers one-offs.
Next action, not just aging
A useful register shows more than “how old.” It shows what happens next — which step of the ladder, whether something is waiting on your approval, and whether a reply paused the chase. That is how office staff stay oriented without living in the inbox.
Safety still sits with you
Sync does not mean autopilot without rails. Never-chase flags, dispute pauses, and approval gates for firmer steps remain under your control. The books feed the list; you still own the relationship.
