Pay by Link - Omni-Channel Online Payments
Customer Payments via SMS, Web Chat, Email & WhatsApp
Our Pay by Link service allows your staff to take secure payments from any location, making it ideal for homeworkers and staff in the office.
At the point a payment is required, either on a phone call or during a conversation via other media, the agent creates a unique payment link from our easy-to-use web portal and sends it to the customer for them to follow and make payment – no different to when they are making online purchases. You can send the payment link via SMS, email, web chat or any other social media communication channels.
Once the payment is complete we will notify the agent via the portal and as a business you can access full transaction reports at any time. Customer details are also stored for future use making it easy to create new payment links for them in the future.
