LuminaiPay
Recurring billing infrastructure

Billing that runs itself.

LuminaiPay powers recurring billing, invoice automation, and multi-channel payment processing for specialized enterprise software and custom applications. Connect the gateways you already use and start collecting in days, not quarters.

Already running billing for property, education, retail, fitness, and crowdfunding platforms.

Days to integrate, not quarters

Somewhere behind this payment there is a spreadsheet, a paybill statement, and someone matching one to the other. That is the part LuminaiPay takes over.

The problem

Billing is the last thing you should be building.

Every SaaS product eventually hits the same wall: invoices generated by hand, reconciliation done in spreadsheets, and a payments integration that swallows a full quarter of engineering time. LuminaiPay takes the entire billing layer off your roadmap so your team ships product instead of payment plumbing.

Core capabilities

Everything your billing layer needs.

Four building blocks that cover the full cycle, from the first invoice to reconciled payment.

Automated Billing & Invoicing

Schedule recurring invoices, generate bills automatically, and run entire billing cycles without manual intervention. Set the rules once and let the cycle repeat.

Flexible Collections

Collect recurring internal subscription fees or process direct customer payments on behalf of your clients. One engine handles both models.

Bring Your Own Gateway

Integrate directly with the local and global providers you already trust, across mobile money and card rails. No forced processor, no locked rails.

Seamless API Integration

Drop subscription and collection pipelines into your existing web or mobile platform with minimal development overhead. Clean REST endpoints, predictable webhooks, straightforward docs.

In practice

Same problem, three different desks.

What automated billing actually changes depends on who was doing it by hand. Here is what it looks like in three of the businesses we build for.

Property

400 units, one bursar, and a rent roll that never closed on time.

Invoices went out as a mail merge on the 27th. Tenants paid into three different paybills, some with the wrong reference. The first week of every month went to matching statements against the tenancy list, and by the time arrears were visible they were already thirty days old.

Now the rent roll issues itself on schedule, every payment is matched back to a unit as it lands, and reminders escalate without anyone sending them.

Month-end close now happens on the last day of the month, not the sixth of the next one.
Education

Term fees for 1,200 parents, chased from a notebook.

Fees differ by grade, boarding status and bursary, so the office rebuilt the invoice list every term by hand and followed up by phone. Schedules now generate from the fee structure itself, reminders run on the cadence the school sets, and the balance a parent sees is the balance in the ledger.

No term starts with a fee list built from scratch.
Fitness

Memberships that renewed only when someone remembered to ask.

Members paid at the desk, renewals lapsed quietly, and nobody knew who had gone until the pass stopped scanning. Charges now run on each member’s own cycle, failed collections retry on an escalating schedule, and a lapse shows up before the member walks out the door.

Renewals stopped depending on the front desk.

Getting started

Live in three steps.

01

Connect your gateway

Link the payment providers you already use. Your merchant accounts, your settlement, your existing relationships.

02

Define your billing logic

Set your cycles, tiers, proration, grace periods, and reminder schedules. Configure once and LuminaiPay runs it on schedule.

03

Collect and reconcile

Invoices go out automatically, payments come in across every channel, and your ledger stays in sync in real time.

No migration project. No rip and replace.

Bring your own gateway

Your processors. Your rails. Your margins.

LuminaiPay sits above your payment providers, not in place of them. Keep your existing merchant agreements and settlement terms while LuminaiPay handles the orchestration, retries, and reconciliation across every channel you connect.

Who builds it

We built this because we needed it.

Luminai Tech Limited builds management software for property, schools, retail, gyms and campaigns. Every one of those products needed the same thing underneath: a billing engine that could speak to a paybill and a card processor in the same breath and keep one honest ledger.

We wrote it once, ran it in production across those platforms, and then opened it up. The team that answers your integration questions is the team that maintains it.
