The retainer, reinvented

Get paid before the work even starts

Ask for a deposit or monthly retainer. When it lands, it becomes client credit — ready to apply to any future invoice, in the same currency, with a ledger for every move.

Client prepays — or reports a payment themselves
Record it in seconds, or let the client report it with proof from the invoice link.
2
Credit appears on the client's profile
Available balance, total prepaid, total applied — per currency, always visible.
3
Apply it to any future invoice
Full or partial. The invoice shows "paid with client credit" — never a phantom bank transfer.

"My retainers used to live in a spreadsheet and my head. Now a client prepays, it becomes credit, and the next invoice basically pays itself."

Maya Okafor

Brand designer

"Clients report their own bank transfers with proof attached. I just confirm. Chasing payments went from hours per week to minutes."

DR

Daniel Reyes

Freelance developer

"We bill in USD and NGN. Tideoo never mixes the two, and every credit move is on a ledger our accountant actually likes."

FAQ

Questions, answered

Do my clients need a Tideoo account?

No. Clients open a secure invoice link — no signup, no password. For sensitive actions like reporting a payment or messaging you, they verify their email with a one-time code.

How do partial payments work?

Enable partial payments on an invoice and optionally set a minimum. Clients can pay in installments; every payment is tracked separately and the balance updates automatically until the invoice is paid.

What exactly is client credit?

When a client prepays — a deposit, a retainer, or an overpayment you keep — the amount becomes available client credit. You can apply it to future invoices in the same currency, partially or in full. Every credit movement is recorded in a ledger.

Can clients report payments they made outside Tideoo?

Yes. From the invoice link, a verified client can report a bank transfer, crypto payment, PayPal and more — with optional proof of payment. You review the evidence and confirm or reject with one click.

Which currencies are supported?

All active ISO-4217 codes. Each client has their own currency — you set it once — and their invoices, payments, project rates and credit are all denominated in it automatically. Your dashboard and reports then convert every total into your workspace currency with live exchange rates, so mixed-currency numbers stay easy to review.

Can I use Tideoo with a team?

Yes. Team workspaces support multiple members with owner, admin and member roles. Invite teammates, control who sees financial data, and keep personal and business work separate.

Does Tideoo process online payments for me?

Not yet. Tideoo focuses on manual and offline payments — bank transfers, crypto, PayPal and more — with airtight tracking. Online payment processing is on the roadmap.

Ready to turn finished work into paid invoices?

Set up your first invoice in under two minutes. Your clients will thank you — eventually, in full.
