Pay. Pay by Link
Pay. Pay by Link lets merchants request payments through links and QR codes. Merchants create links in Pay.’s admin and share them by email, SMS, or channels such as WhatsApp. QR codes can be printed on receipts or invoices. A request can have a chosen expiry date and time; dynamic links can also remain valid indefinitely. Merchants can set fixed, minimum, maximum, or free amounts, choose payment methods, and add up to three optional fields. Customers pay using methods available through the merchant’s sales channels, and payment pages can use the merchant’s brand style. Pay. describes the feature for prepayments, business invoices, and reminders. It lists more than 90 integrations, plugins for over 20 webshop systems, and custom integrations through APIs. Platforms are Android, iOS, web, and API. The Pioneer plan has no monthly charge but uses Professional transaction rates plus €0,05 per transaction and 0,25% of turnover. Professional costs €35 per month plus transaction fees; the service also has an €89-per-month Business plan and a quote-based Premium plan.
