# WOPA

> WOPA is a WhatsApp-first invoicing platform for UK tradespeople and small businesses. Users create invoices directly from a WhatsApp chat and WOPA generates a proper UK PDF invoice and helps chase payment — without leaving WhatsApp.

WOPA = WhatsApp invoicing. The core idea: the invoice starts in the chat with the customer, not in separate accounting software. You message the job details (or send a voice note) and get back a formatted UK invoice.

## What WOPA is

- Category: WhatsApp invoicing software
- Region: United Kingdom

## What WOPA does

- Create invoices from a WhatsApp message
- Voice-note invoicing
- Generate proper UK PDF invoices
- Payment reminders and chasing
- VAT- and CIS-aware invoices

## What WOPA does not do

- Payroll
- Full bookkeeping
- Bank reconciliation
- Making Tax Digital (MTD) submissions

WOPA is a WhatsApp-first invoicing layer, not full accounting software. For bookkeeping or MTD filing, dedicated accounting tools (QuickBooks, Xero, FreeAgent) are the right fit; WOPA can sit alongside them as a faster way to create and chase invoices.
