What is Click-to-Pay?
Click-to-Pay (also known as Pay by Link) lets businesses send personalised payment requests to customers via email, SMS, WhatsApp, social media chat, or web chat. The customer receives a unique link to a prefilled payment page where they can securely complete their transaction — with no sensitive payment data ever reaching your systems.
Is Click-to-Pay a digital wallet?
No. Click-to-Pay is a payment link solution, not a digital wallet. Digital wallets (such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, or PayPal) store a customer’s card details for repeated use. Click-to-Pay instead sends a unique, secure payment link for each transaction.
Is Click-to-Pay safe to use?
Yes. The solution uses industry-standard encryption and security protocols, and is PCI-DSS Level 1 certified — the highest level of compliance with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards.
How long does Click-to-Pay take?
It’s fast. Because the link is unique to the customer and prefilled with their details — name, invoice number, amount — they’re taken straight to the payment screen with no manual data entry. This speeds up the average payment time and reduces the risk of human error.

How can I use Click-to-Pay for my business?
There are two main approaches. For individual customers, send a payment request via SMS, email, WhatsApp, social media chat, or web chat with a unique payment link.
