    The Old Way vs The PayCamp Way

    The Problem

    Walking the site with a clipboard. Scribbling meter readings. Going back to the office to type them into a spreadsheet. Manually calculating kWh usage. Working out VAT. Creating invoices by hand. It takes hours every month — and mistakes cost you money.

    The Solution

    With PayCamp, enter a meter reading and the system does the rest. It calculates usage from the previous reading, applies your per-kWh rate and the VAT rate set for your site, and adds the charge to an invoice ready to send. It is running live at UK sites today.

    What's Included

    Everything you need for electricity billing, built into one platform.

    Simple Meter Reading Entry

    Enter the new reading and PayCamp looks up the previous one and works out the units used.

    Automatic Usage Calculation

    kWh usage calculated instantly from consecutive readings. No manual maths. No spreadsheet formulas.

    Per-kWh Billing

    Set your unit rate and PayCamp calculates the charge. When your rate changes, the old rates are kept in a dated history.

    VAT on Every Line

    The VAT rate you set for your site is applied to each electricity line and shown on the invoice. Check HMRC Notice 701/19 for which rate applies to your supplies.

    Spot Odd Readings

    A reading far above that meter's recent average is flagged before it reaches an invoice, so a typo or a rolled-over meter gets checked first.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    The VAT rate you set for your site. HMRC sets a reduced rate for some domestic supplies of fuel and power (VAT Notice 701/19), so check which rate applies to what you sell, or ask your accountant. The VAT is shown on every invoice line.

    Ofgem sets a maximum resale price for electricity resold to people on your site, broadly what you paid for it. PayCamp bills at the unit rate you enter; setting a rate within the rules is up to you, so read Ofgem's guidance on the resale of electricity first.

    A reading far out of line with the meter's recent average is flagged for you to check before it is billed. Correct the reading and PayCamp recalculates the units; it does not guess a rollover for you.

    You can include electricity as a line item on booking invoices, or bill it separately from meter readings. A common approach is inclusive electricity for short stays and metered billing for seasonal pitches, statics and berths.

    Meter readings generate invoices with a Pay Now button. Customers pay by card online — no chasing bank transfers. Works with PayCamp Payments (guided setup) or your own Stripe account.
