Send invoices and reminders by post, automatically

Some customers ignore emailed invoices but pay when a letter arrives. Upload invoice PDFs or connect your accounting workflow to the API and each one is printed, enveloped and posted for you.

What it costs

Royal Mail postage from the rates below. Your total adds the print shop's printing and envelope charge and a small platform fee, shown before you pay.
1st Class postage from£1.80
2nd Class postage from£0.91

When this is the right option

Overdue invoice reminders

Trigger a posted reminder a set number of days after the due date instead of printing it yourself.

Customers who do not use email

Older customers and some public sector accounts prefer a paper invoice.

Statements and final demands

Send account statements monthly and formal demands when payment is late.

How it works

Step 1

Upload the invoice or call the API

Send a PDF through the dashboard, or post it to the API from your billing system.
Step 2

Choose postage and print shop

Pick second class for routine invoices or Signed For for final notices.
Step 3

We print, enclose and post it

The shop prints your letter, puts it in an envelope and hands it to Royal Mail. You follow the status from your dashboard.
Example scenario

Nadia's accounts team has customers who ignore email

This is an illustrative scenario to show how the platform works. It is not a customer testimonial.
Nadia is finance lead at a small supplier. Several customers always pay late because invoices sit in cluttered inboxes, and a paper reminder usually gets action.

The problem

Each month someone prints overdue reminders, stuffs envelopes and goes to the post room. It is slow, and it is the first thing dropped when the team is busy.She feels torn between being polite to long-standing customers and needing the cash in. She doesn't want the reminder to feel like a threat.Getting paid on time keeps small businesses alive, and following up should be routine, not awkward.

How LetterAPI helps

We know chasing invoices is the job nobody wants. It should be a small, repeatable task, not an afternoon.Upload invoice PDFs in the dashboard, or have your billing system call the LetterAPI API. A UK print shop prints and posts each one through Royal Mail, and the sandbox lets your developers test without sending real mail. Pay per letter, no monthly fee.

The plan, step by step

Step 1

Connect or upload

Nadia's team uploads overdue reminders as PDFs. Later, their developer connects the API to the billing system.
Step 2

Choose postage

Routine reminders go second class, and final notices go Signed For.
Step 3

Track and reconcile

The dashboard shows what was sent and when, ready to match against payments.

What success looks like

Reminders go out on schedule, every time.
Payment arrives sooner from customers who ignore email.
The post room job disappears.

What it costs to wait

Late payments dragging on cash flow.
Reminders skipped when the team is busy.
Hours spent on printing and envelopes.
