How it works
From quote to cash in four steps
You do the job. QuoteChase does the paperwork.
Send a quote in 30 seconds
Pick the customer, type the price, hit send. They get a clean, branded link by email, WhatsApp, or a text on Pro. Go quiet? QuoteChase nudges them for you.
Convert with a single tap
When the quote is accepted, turn it into an invoice instantly. Every detail carries across. No retyping.
Add a payment link
Let customers pay by card straight from the invoice, or keep your bank details on show for free bank transfer. Simpler for them, easier to track for you.
Auto-chase late payers
Friendly first, then firm, then formal. QuoteChase escalates politely under UK law so you never write another reminder.
Get paid on the spot
Let customers pay straight from the invoice
Add a secure card payment link to any invoice so customers can pay while the job is still fresh. Prefer bank transfer? QuoteChase still shows your bank details and payment reference, so you stay in control.
Great for deposits
Raise a deposit invoice from any accepted quote and take a card payment before you order materials.
Ideal for small jobs
Let customers tap to pay before you have even left the driveway.
Still free by bank transfer
Keep your usual bank details and payment reference on every invoice.
Card payments are optional. They run on Stripe and land in your own account, with standard Stripe fees from 1.5% + 20p on UK cards. Prefer to avoid processing fees? Keep taking free bank transfer exactly as you do now.
Text quotes and invoices straight to their phone
Email is great, but a text gets read. Every plan lets you share a quote or invoice to WhatsApp or copy the link in one tap. Pro goes further: QuoteChase sends the text itself, automatically and on schedule.
That difference matters more than it sounds. When the system sends the reminder, you never have to judge the moment, find the words, or worry about pestering a good customer. The follow-up just happens, every time, with no awkwardness attached.
- Text a quote link before you have left the driveway
- Text the invoice so it is not lost in a busy inbox
- Chase reminders go by text on schedule, no decision needed
- Sent from a QuoteChase sender ID. 200 texts included each month
Automatic texting is a Pro feature. Standard plans send by email and share by WhatsApp or copy link in one tap.

Do the maths
What a Letter Before Action recovers
Under UK law, a business that pays you late owes you statutory interest at the Bank of England base rate plus 8%, and fixed compensation of £40 to £100 on top. QuoteChase works the numbers out for you and puts them in a formal Letter Before Action, ready to download and send.
Most customers pay at the reminder stage, long before a letter is needed. But when one digs in, the letter below is usually what gets the money moving.
One recovered invoice pays for QuoteChase many times over. In the example here, the £70 compensation alone covers nearly two months of QuoteChase Standard, and recovering the invoice itself covers years.
Worked example
£2,400 invoice, 45 days overdue
- Original invoice
- £2,400.00
- Statutory interest (45 days at 12%)
- £35.51
- Fixed compensation
- £70.00
- Now legally owed
- £2,505.51
Illustrative example using a 12% statutory rate (Bank of England base rate plus 8%) and the £70 fixed compensation band for debts of £1,000 to £9,999.99 under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998. QuoteChase calculates the live figures for each invoice.

Questions
Chasing payments, answered
How to chase a quote, get a customer to pay, and text quotes and invoices.
How do I chase a quote that hasn't been accepted?
You don't have to. If a sent quote gets no response, QuoteChase automatically emails the customer a friendly nudge 3 days after sending and a final reminder that mentions the expiry date, and it stops the moment they respond. You also get an email the first time the customer opens the quote, which is the perfect moment to call. Want to give it a personal push too? Re-share the link by WhatsApp in one tap.
How do I get a customer to pay an invoice?
Make it easy and make it automatic. Send a clear, branded invoice with your bank details and an optional card payment link, then let QuoteChase send escalating reminders on day one, seven, fourteen and thirty. The later reminders cite your legal right to statutory interest and a Letter Before Action, which is usually what gets a stalling customer to pay.
How can I make a customer pay an overdue invoice?
Start with polite, automatic reminders, then escalate. If a customer still won't pay, QuoteChase calculates the statutory interest and fixed compensation you are legally owed under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 and generates a Letter Before Action PDF you can download and post. That formal step, with real numbers attached, is what makes most late payers settle up.
Why won't a customer pay my invoice, and what can I do?
Most late payments are down to the invoice slipping down someone's to-do list, not a refusal to pay, so a polite reminder usually fixes it. QuoteChase chases automatically so you never have to send the awkward text yourself. For genuine non-payers it works out the statutory interest and compensation due and produces a Letter Before Action ready to send.
Can I text quotes and invoices to customers?
On every plan you can share a quote or invoice to WhatsApp or copy the link in one tap, so getting it onto their phone is never the problem. Pro adds proper SMS: QuoteChase texts the link and the chase reminders itself, automatically and on schedule, so following up never depends on you picking the right moment or worrying about pestering anyone. Texts come from a QuoteChase sender ID and Pro includes 200 a month.
How do I chase an unpaid invoice in the UK?
Send escalating reminders, then a formal Letter Before Action citing the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998. QuoteChase automates the whole sequence: friendly nudge on day one, firm follow-up on day seven, statutory warning on day fourteen and a final notice with a Letter Before Action PDF on day thirty.
Is QuoteChase suitable for tradespeople and small trade businesses?
Yes. QuoteChase is built for UK tradespeople and small trade businesses, from solo operators to growing firms with office staff. That includes plumbers, electricians, builders, decorators, cleaners, gardeners and locksmiths. It is mobile-first so you can quote and invoice from your phone on site.
How much does QuoteChase cost?
QuoteChase Standard is £39.99 a month or £399 a year for 1 user and 50 sends per month (quotes and standalone invoices). Pro is £69.99 a month or £699 a year for 4 users, unlimited quotes and invoices, and automatic texting built in, with extra users available for £10 per month each.
Does QuoteChase calculate UK statutory interest?
Yes. QuoteChase calculates statutory interest using the Bank of England base rate plus 8% and adds the correct fixed compensation (£40, £70 or £100) based on the invoice value, under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.
