The problem
Her record says she owes ₦45,000. Yours says ₦50,000. Who is right—and who is mistaken?
When both sides keep separate notes, everything works fine—until you remember the numbers differently.
Vendors
- You can't say who owes you, or how much, without checking records, or scrolling back through chats.
- Bank transfer alerts showing money came in, but not what it was actually for.
- Cash and POS payments leave no trail at all.
- Agreed prices or payment terms being remembered differently over time.
- Chasing payments is awkward—so overdue money often goes uncollected.
Customers
- Paying in instalments with no updated balance.
- You don't keep records, making it easy to forget what you bought or paid for.
- Purchases scattered across different vendors, lost in memory, old chats and platforms.
- No proof of purchase when an item breaks, needs returning, or has a warranty claim.
- Disagreements over past payments with no record to point to.
The solution
One record, two copies
Every sale, invoice, and payment is logged on Proveam—keeping both of you on the exact same page.

How Proveam is different
| Question | Most bookkeeping and inventory apps | Proveam |
|---|---|---|
| Who holds the record | The vendor. The customer gets, at most, a copy. | Both of you, from the moment it's recorded. |
| Where a customer finds their record | Scattered across chats, emails and different shops' systems. | In one place, under their phone number, from every vendor on Proveam. |
| Can a record be changed later? | The vendor can usually edit or delete it. | No. A mistake gets a void receipt, and the original stays. |
| Does the customer need an account? | Often, or nothing is shared with them at all. | No. Their copy arrives on WhatsApp. |
| Buying and selling | Separate tools for what you sell and what you buy. | One number for both. When your suppliers use Proveam, what you buy from them shows up too. |

Questions
Common questions
How does my customer get their copy?
Add their number the first time you record something for them, for example Sarah 08031234567 1 iPhone 12 450k paid 200k. You can also send it afterwards: type the number, or just share their contact from your phone. From then on their name is enough, and every record and payment sends them a receipt.
How do I write a record?
Name, what they bought, the total and what they paid: Sarah 1 iPhone 12 450k paid 200k. If they paid in full, the amount is enough: Zainab, Term 1 fees 150k. Text menu for examples.
What happens when a customer disputes a receipt?
You're told which receipt they think is wrong, so you can sort it out with them. If it needs fixing, the correction goes out as a new receipt. The original is never changed.
Won't customers find this too formal?
A receipt is normal for any purchase. And because it shows what's still owed, you don't have to bring up the balance yourself.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, 7 days from your first record, with no card needed. After that it's ₦1,000 a month up to 50 active customers, ₦3,000 up to 300, ₦7,500 over 300. Or let your customers pay through Proveam: no monthly fee, just a small fee on each payment (see the Terms). Text subscribe to pay.
Why take payments through Proveam?
Because then the payment and the record are one thing. With a normal transfer, you get an alert and still have to work out which sale it was for, then write it down. When your customer taps Pay on their invoice or reminder, the payment goes on that sale, you both get a receipt with what's left, and it shows as Verified, because the money really moved. You pay no monthly fee, just a small fee on each payment (see the Terms).
What happens if I stop paying?
Your records stay, and your customers can still see them. You can keep recording and checking balances. Receipts and monthly totals pause until you pay again.
Can I see past records?
Yes. Every receipt can be saved or printed the moment it arrives. Text dashboard for a private link to your whole record: what you've received and what you've recorded.
Can I record without typing a message?
Yes. Text dashboard and tap New record: fill in the customer, the items, quantities and prices, and what they paid. Past items are one tap away, and the customer gets the same receipt.
How do I put my logo on receipts?
Send your logo to Proveam on WhatsApp with the caption logo, or upload it on your dashboard's Profile page.
Can customers join themselves?
Yes. Text link and share the link it sends you, in your status, bio or chats. When a customer taps it and presses send, they're signed up for your receipts.
Can customers stop receipts?
Yes. Replying STOP stops all receipts to their number, and START turns them back on. Their record is still kept.
How do I know a receipt is genuine?
Scan the code on it, or pick the receipt at proveam.com/verify. You'll see who issued it, when, for how much, and whether it was later voided. A receipt that was changed won't match.
Changed your number?
From the new number, send recover and your Proveam ID (it's on your Profile) to Proveam on WhatsApp. Your business, records and payments account move with you. No recovery PIN or backup set? Email support@proveam.com.
