Questions people ask first
Do I need a card to sign up?
No. You sign up with your business name, email and a password. The VAT number is optional. You only add payment details if you choose to upgrade.
What happens when I use up my free invoices?
You can still log in and see everything. To create more invoices in that month, upgrade to a paid plan from the Billing page, or wait for the new month to start.
How does paying work?
You subscribe on PayFast's secure payment page. Your plan renews automatically each period. Cancel from the Billing page whenever you like and you keep access until the period you paid for ends.
Do I have to be registered for VAT?
No. Add your VAT number if you have one. If you are not registered, leave it out and issue invoices without VAT.
Is Barita Invoice approved by SARS?
Barita Invoice is built around the information SARS expects on a VAT invoice. SARS does not approve invoicing software, and Barita Invoice is not endorsed by SARS. Ask your accountant if you are unsure about your own VAT position.
Is Barita Invoice linked to a bank?
No. Barita Invoice is an independent South African product and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any bank. Subscription payments are processed by PayFast.
Does it replace my accountant?
No. Barita Invoice helps you create invoices and see who has paid. Your accountant still does your books and tax.
