Pay By Link

Pay By Link is available as a Private Beta version. Please contact your Customer Success Manager if you would like to access it.

Introduction

Pay By Link enables you to generate a ‘request to pay’ link that you can send to a customer to initiate payment collection. When the user clicks the link, Yapily Hosted Pages facilitates the payment capture, authorisation and initiation process for a PIS payment.

It provides a convenient and secure way to send a ‘request to pay’ link for a fixed amount to your end users.

You can send the link you generate to your end user via any method, such as email or SMS.

The link acts as a long lived payment request, allowing your users to click the link in their own time to start the payment journey. By default, the link expires after 7 days but this is customisable to a maximum of 30 days.

note

Pay by Link can only be used to collect 1 single payment from the user.

If the user accesses the link after already successfully authorising a payment, they will receive a warning and not be able to initiate another payment.

Applications

You can use Pay By Link in multiple payment scenarios.

Missed payments: Recover missed payments and direct debit failures by sending a link to collect the payment.

Cart abandonment: Send follow-up links to the user to reduce cart abandonment.

Payment reminders: Send reminders with the flexibility to pay later.

Pay now or later: Provide the option to pay or top-up now or in the near future via pay by link or a QR code.

End user journey

Pay By Link provides a ‘request to pay’ link, and a pre-built UI to manage the entire user journey from asking the user to make a payment through to initiating the payment request.

A typical user journey is:

  1. The end user receives a request for a payment from you via email or SMS.
  2. The user clicks the link in the SMS (or other delivery method).
  3. The user is redirected to Yapily’s Pay By Link landing page that includes a summary of the payment request.
  4. The user confirms the request by clicking ‘Pay by bank’.
  5. The user proceeds to complete the payment authorisation flow on Yapily Hosted Pages . The user completes the payment authorisation flow and is redirected back to your application on completion.
