Delays in payments can lead to stagnated growth, strained supplier relationships and drain you of your passion for running your business.
The answer most business owners look to are debt collection agencies, but they don't even work most of the time.
They do however add costs to your business, negatively affect your reputation and in most cases don't accomplish the actual goal of getting you paid.
For most businesses it's not worth the time and effort of getting set up with one when you don't even know it's going to work in the first place.
But what if there was a simple, efficient, and cost-effective alternative to debt collection agencies that prevented overdue payments entirely.
That's Pinch Payments! The no late-payment gateway, and you can try it for free.
Debt collection solves yesterday’s problem.
Traditional debt collection agencies step in after the damage is done. They’re reactive, expensive, and can put hard-earned client relationships at risk.
Pinch Payments prevents tomorrow’s.
With Pinch Pre-Approvals, your customers securely store their preferred payment method (bank account or card) upfront. When an invoice reaches its due date, payment is processed automatically.
No chasing.
No awkward reminder emails.
No costly recovery fees.
Just predictable, on-time payments.
1. Securely Store Customer Payment Methods
Your customers securely save their bank account or credit/debit card details within the Pinch platform.
2. Connect to Your Accounting Software
Pinch integrates with leading accounting systems, including:
Xero
MYOB
QuickBooks
Or any software capable of sending invoices
Once connected, invoices created in your accounting system sync automatically with Pinch.
3. Get Paid Automatically on the Due Date
On the invoice due date, Pinch automatically charges the stored payment method.
Your customer keeps their agreed payment terms — you simply eliminate late payment risk.
Late payments can:
Restrict business growth
Damage supplier relationships
Create unnecessary financial stress
Delay hiring and investment decisions
In today’s interconnected business environment, predictable cash flow is critical.
By automating invoice payments, Pinch helps you break the cycle of overdue invoices and build a healthier financial ecosystem within your business.
Getting started with Pinch Payments is straightforward and free to set up.
Connect your accounting system (Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks) or run Pinch standalone
Invite customers to set up Pre-Approvals
Begin automating collections
You can be up and running in as little as two days — without negotiations, contracts, or the complexity of traditional debt collection services.
Pinch also provides pre-built invoice payment plan templates.
These allow you to:
Offer structured repayment plans
Break larger debts into manageable instalments
Recover outstanding balances efficiently
But the long-term solution is implementing Pre-Approvals from the start — preventing overdue invoices from occurring in the first place.
Pre-Approvals ensure invoices are charged on their due date.
They do not interfere with your customer’s agreed payment terms.
If a client insists on 60- or 90-day terms, you simply set your invoice due date accordingly. The payment is processed automatically on that date — ensuring they don’t pay late.
It’s not about changing terms.
It’s about enforcing them automatically.
Debt collection agencies solve overdue invoices after they happen.
Pinch Payments prevents them from happening in the first place.
If you want predictable cash flow, fewer awkward follow-ups, and the confidence to grow your business — it’s time to automate the way you get paid.
