Breet has launched a new business invoicing feature within its latest Breet 3.0 update, offering African entrepreneurs a simple and efficient way to accept international cryptocurrency payments. This move is being described as a major turning point for small businesses and freelancers across the continent who have struggled with expensive fees, slow settlements, and limited global payment options.
For years, African business owners have faced frustrating challenges trying to collect payments from international clients. Traditional platforms often come with high fees that reduce profit margins, slow processing times that disrupt cash flow, and complicated verification steps that delay transactions. In many cases, customers walk away due to the lack of seamless, flexible options.
Breet’s new invoicing system changes all that. The feature lets businesses create invoices that can be paid in a variety of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and USDT, while the business receives local currency directly into their bank accounts. Business owners do not need to own crypto, track prices, or deal with wallets. Everything is automated and handled in the background.
According to Vivian, Breet’s Chief Operating Officer, the idea was born from hearing constant complaints from African entrepreneurs about losing international clients due to crypto payment complications. Now, with a few taps, anyone can send a branded, professional invoice and receive payment from anywhere in the world—without needing any blockchain knowledge.
Users simply input the service or product details, amount, and customer information, then share the invoice link by email, social media, or messaging apps. Clients can pay using their preferred cryptocurrency, and Breet instantly converts the payment and deposits the equivalent fiat currency into the seller’s bank account.
Some early adopters of the feature are already experiencing major advantages. A graphic designer in Lagos shared how she used to lose up to 15 percent of her earnings to foreign transaction fees. Since switching to Breet’s crypto invoicing, she’s saving thousands of naira on each project. A software developer in Accra added that the platform eliminated his need to monitor crypto payments and manually process conversions—now, he just creates an invoice and gets notified when the money arrives.
The launch comes at a time when Africa’s crypto economy is rapidly growing. Nigeria alone recorded $56.7 billion in cryptocurrency transactions between mid-2022 and mid-2023, highlighting just how vital digital currencies are becoming in the region. Businesses that aren’t prepared to accept crypto may soon find themselves falling behind.
Breet’s invoicing feature aims to future-proof African businesses by offering instant settlement, branded invoice templates, real-time transaction updates, and the ability to accept recurring payments for subscription models. It helps entrepreneurs boost their professionalism, expand their global reach, and protect themselves from crypto volatility thanks to locked exchange rates set at the time of invoicing.
With more clients across the world expecting flexible digital payment options, the ability to accept crypto without friction has become a must-have. Breet’s invoicing system positions African businesses to thrive in this new global economy.
The feature is available now on both Android and iOS devices. Interested users can visit breet.io/invoice or download the app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store to get started.
Breet is connecting African businesses to global opportunities—one invoice at a time.
