Retrieve Payment Link

With Payiano you can retrieve a Payment Link. This created link has details like how much money needs to be paid. You can send this link to the person who needs to pay, like a customer, through email, text message, or even on social media. The customer clicks on this link, which takes them to a secure website where they can choose how to pay, like using a credit card or a bank transfer. This method is really handy because it's quick, safe, and lets people pay in different ways. It's great for online shopping, freelancers who need to bill their clients and charities collecting donations. Payment links are becoming more popular because they make online payments easy and work well for everyone, whether they're buying something, getting paid, or donating to a cause.

You can use the Pay Button plugin to seamlessly collect payments through a Payment Link and receive funds effortlessly. The Pay Button is embedded directly into your webpage, providing a secure and reliable payment processing experience. It is fully customizable to suit your design needs and is compatible with all modern browsers, ensuring a smooth and consistent user experience across various platforms.
