# Clients

Automate debt collection for your business with the Customer API.

<a id="overview"></a>

## Overview

The Customer API enables businesses to programmatically submit unpaid invoices for collection, track case progress in real-time, and receive payment notifications—all without manual intervention.

**Use this track if you are:** A business with unpaid invoices looking to automate debt collection workflows.

### What You Can Build

-   **Automated case submission** — Push overdue invoices directly from your billing system
-   **Real-time status tracking** — Monitor collection progress via API or webhooks
-   **Document management** — Attach invoices, contracts, and correspondence to cases
-   **Payment reconciliation** — Receive instant notifications when debtors pay

<a id="how-it-works"></a>

### How It Works

1.  **You submit a case** — Provide invoice details, debtor information, and supporting documents
2.  **Debitura validates and assigns** — Your case is reviewed and matched with a local collection partner
3.  **Partner collects** — Professional agents handle outreach, negotiation, and payment collection
4.  **You get paid** — Receive your money minus a success fee (only charged on recovery)

No setup costs. No subscription fees. You only pay when Debitura recovers your money.
