Payment links

Get paid faster, safer, and simpler with payment links

Push secure payment links via email or text to collect payments faster, reduce entry errors, and keep data safe while giving customers a simple, convenient way to pay.

A secure, on-demand way to get paid

Empower your staff with secure, pay-by-link capabilities. Payments are completed on the customer’s device in seconds, reducing call length by three minutes per call (on average).

Solutions

Optimize how you serve customers by phone

Agent-assisted phone payments are a security nightmare and a productivity killer. Avoid asking customers to share sensitive information and spending time manually entering data. Pay-by-link solves both.

Stop handling risky data

When agents take card numbers, your payment card industry (PCI) scope explodes.

  • Text and email delivery: Send a secure "nanosite" link directly to the customer.

  • Zero exposure: Agents never see, hear, or type client card or account numbers.

  • Secure by design: Each nanosite is unique and temporary to protect prolonged data access.

Slash average handle time

Every minute an agent spends processing a payment is a minute they aren't boosting revenue or solving problems.

  • Time saved: Cut an average of three minutes off every payment-related call.

  • Instant confirmation: Real-time posting means no waiting for approvals.

  • Simple setup: Spin up custom customer links in the click of a button. 

Billing without the portal

Complement portal payments for customers on a rush with simple, one-off transactions.

  • Bill now: No file uploads. Deliver individual bills for goods and services in seconds.

  • Branded pages: Clear details on automated, mobile-ready, and branded payment pages.

  • No IT lift: No builds or maintenance—add convenience without technical hurdles.

Make paying effortless

Remove friction from one-time payments and let customers pay in with ease.

  • No logins required: Skip usernames and passwords with a secure, direct payment link.

  • Mobile-first design: Clean, easy-to-read pages optimized for any device.

  • On-time payments. Help customers settle bills and invoices quickly, no extra steps required.
