Start free for your business

Your dues

Monthly rent, a food charge and the occasional electricity share.

Step by step

Every business example uses the standard reminder times: 3 days before the due date, on the day, then 3 and 7 days after. The second contact is told on day 5, only if they agreed, and from day 10 the payer is on your call list. No reminder goes out in quiet hours, on closed days or on national holidays.

Payers pay you directly. OkBell never holds your money.

PG or hostel: rent per bed

A PG has 30 beds on three floors. Each resident is a payer, with the bed, such as 2F Bed 3, in Reference (roll or flat number), and a parent as the second contact.

  1. Rent is a repeating fee, Every month, due on the 1st: ₹8,000 for a shared room and ₹12,000 for a single room.
  2. Three days before the 1st, each resident gets a reminder. Residents who have not paid are reminded on the 1st, the 4th and the 8th.
  3. The parent is told on the 6th, but only if the parent said yes to these messages. From the 11th, the manager sees the rest on the To call list.
  4. A food charge or an electricity share is a one-off due on that resident's page.

What they see

The manager finds a resident by name, by bed or by the last digits of the phone. On the To call list, one tap calls or opens WhatsApp. If a resident promises a date, the manager notes it, and the reminders wait until then.
