Paid in USDT. Taxed in euros.

Getting paid in stablecoins takes a minute. Rebuilding a year of it for your accountant takes a weekend and is still half a guess. Orla keeps the client work, the wallets and your own spending in one book.

The mess it replaces
  • 01

    One wallet, two kinds of money

    The invoice that landed this morning and the rent you pay tonight sit in the same wallet. Only your memory keeps them apart, and memory is not an accounting system.

  • 02

    You are the one who has to ask

    Three weeks past due. You write the message, delete it, write it politer, and send it wondering whether they already paid part of it and you missed the transfer.

  • 03

    By March you are guessing

    Two exchanges, a few wallets, transfers between your own addresses that read like sales, and fees nobody wrote down. Rebuilding the cost basis eats a weekend and still will not hold up.

One payment, end to end
  1. 01

    You send it once

    Line items, a due date, a public link and a PDF. Priced in euros even when it settles in USDT, so the number on the invoice is the number you quoted.

  2. 02

    It follows itself up

    Three days before the due date, on the day, then three and seven days after. Each one goes once and carries the pay link. You stop being the person who has to ask.

  3. 03

    It lands and books itself

    A payment for the right amount is spotted on chain, booked as income, and the invoice flips. If only half of it turned up, the invoice says so and keeps asking for the rest.

the same week, on screen

What is owed, and what came back in halves

Outstanding at the top, the work that repeats pulled out above the list, and a filter for the invoices that are only part done.

The Invoices page: outstanding total, a monthly schedule, and an invoice marked paid 6,000 of 12,000

A real capture, taken from a seeded studio rather than drawn. The half-paid row is what it looks like when a client pays in two goes.

Getting paid, without the chasing
01

Either rail, one tool

A pay link for stablecoins, or bank details with a reference. The client picks the rail, and you are not running an invoicing app that cannot see the chain the money arrived on.

02

Half now is a normal thing to accept

Record any amount up to what is left and the invoice turns partially paid. The public page and the reminders switch to speaking in the balance due, so what the client sees is what is still owed. Overpaying is refused rather than quietly absorbed.

03

The work that repeats bills itself

Turn a sent invoice into a weekly or monthly schedule and each cycle goes out on its own. If your monthly allowance runs out it pauses itself and tells you, then sends one catch-up rather than a burst at the client.

04

Client money on its own shelf

Client work lives in its own space, your life in your personal one, and a line moves between them in one tap. Categories mark what is a business expense. Transfers and repaid loans drop out of the totals, because they were never spending.

The part nobody sells you is January.

Every tool is glad to make the PDF. Almost none of them can say what the year did in a form somebody else can check.

When the year ends
01

A capital-gains report you can hand over

FIFO, per year, exchange trades included. Fees sit in the cost basis, and every line says whether its price is exact, derived or approximate. Transfers between your own wallets are matched by hash and never count as a sale. Orla does the numbers and hands them over. It does not file your taxes.

02

Wallets and exchanges, read-only

Watch addresses on BTC, EVM chains and TRON, or hold the keys in your browser. An exchange key is checked before it is stored and turned away if it can trade or withdraw. Balances and trades arrive hourly.

03

Swap, signed by you

Swap one coin for another at the best routed price, with the minimum received and both fees shown before you sign. Coins you are not using can sit in an Aave v3 deposit instead, and come back whenever you want. You sign every transaction, never Orla.

One ordinary week

A Tuesday, three payments and a half

Nothing arranged for the demo. Just the kind of week that used to turn into a spreadsheet come April.

Come January

All of it is already in the FIFO report.

Each line priced exact or derived. The swap accounted for, the transfer never counted as a sale, and invoice 124 went on asking Osaka for the other half without you.

Questions
What happens if a client only pays part of it?

Record what arrived and the invoice turns partially paid. The list shows what is paid of what is owed, and the public page and the reminders switch to speaking in the balance due. Auto-tracked bank arrivals record their own partial payments.

Do the reminders go out in my name?

They carry your invoice and its pay link, on a fixed schedule you can switch off for a single invoice from its row. Clients get an unsubscribe link, and an unsubscribed client is never mailed again.

How does an invoice get marked paid if I am paid in crypto?

A payment for the exact amount is spotted on-chain, booked as income, and flips the invoice to paid on its own. That is why the page asks for the exact figure.

Will my tax office accept the FIFO report?

It is informational and not tax advice. What your accountant gets is a defensible calculation with every price labelled by confidence. The call stays with them.

Can I keep client work and my own money apart?

Yes. Two spaces, one for client work and one for your life. Move a line between them when it belongs elsewhere, and your net worth still spans both.

Which chains does the swap cover?

Ethereum, Arbitrum and Tron, each of them as the source or the destination. You see the minimum received before you sign.
