Send a Payment Link. Get Paid in Minutes.
Create secure payment links for any customer, anywhere no website or card machine needed. Share over WhatsApp, SMS or email and receive your payment directly.
What Are Payment Links?
A payment link is a simple, shareable link that lets a customer pay you online — no website, no card machine and no in-person visit required. You create the link inside Vyaparify, send it to your customer over WhatsApp, SMS or email, and they complete the payment on their own phone or computer.
Payment links work well for small businesses that take orders remotely, sell services, or want a faster way to collect money without asking a customer to visit a store or branch.
Why Small Businesses Need an Easier Way to Collect Payments
Many Indian MSMEs still depend on face-to-face cash collection, bank transfers that need manual confirmation, or asking a customer to share a payment screenshot. This creates delays and confusion about whether a payment has actually been received.
A payment link removes this friction. You send one link, the customer pays directly, and you can move on to fulfilling the order. Payment links are one part of a broader way to accept digital payments from your customers.
What You Can Do With Payment Links
- Create a payment link in minutes — Generate a shareable link for any order, service or invoice without any technical setup.
- Share on the channel your customer prefers — Send the link over WhatsApp, SMS or email — wherever you're already talking to your customer.
- No website required — Start collecting digital payments even before you have a business website or online store.
- See payment status in one place — Track which payment links have been paid, so you know which orders are confirmed.
How Payment Links Work
- Create your link — Enter the amount and a short description for the order, service or invoice.
- Send it to your customer — Share the link over WhatsApp, SMS or email, or add it to an existing conversation.
- Customer pays securely — Your customer opens the link on their phone or computer and completes the payment.
- You get notified — You see the payment status update, so you know the order is confirmed and ready to fulfil.
A Typical Payment Link Journey
- Order confirmed on WhatsApp — A customer messages you on WhatsApp to place an order or book a service.
- You send a payment link — Instead of asking for a bank transfer, you generate and share a payment link for the exact amount.
- Customer pays instantly — They open the link and pay using a method they already trust.
- You fulfil the order — With payment confirmed, you prepare the order without following up for proof of payment.
Why Payment Links Help Your Business
- Get paid faster — Customers can pay immediately from their phone instead of waiting to visit your store or bank.
- Fewer payment disputes — A clear, trackable payment link reduces confusion about whether an order has been paid for.
- Reach customers anywhere — Collect payment from customers outside your local area, including repeat WhatsApp orders.
- Look more professional — A structured payment link feels more trustworthy to customers than an informal transfer request.
Where Payment Links Work Well
This works particularly well for retail businesses and restaurants and cafes collecting advance or WhatsApp orders. You can also pair payment links with your Business QR so in-person customers have another simple way to pay.
- WhatsApp orders — Retailers and home-based sellers taking orders directly over WhatsApp.
- Service invoices — Consultants and professional service providers billing clients remotely.
- Advance bookings — Salons, clinics and coaching institutes collecting a booking deposit before an appointment.
- Repeat customers — A quick, familiar way to pay for customers you already have a relationship with.
Frequently asked questions
What is a payment link and how does it work?
A payment link is a unique, shareable link you create for a specific order, service or invoice. When you send it to a customer, they can open it on their phone or computer and pay directly, without needing your website or a physical card machine.
How do I create and send a payment link to a customer?
You create the link inside Vyaparify by entering the amount and a short description, then share it with your customer over WhatsApp, SMS or email.
Can I send a payment link over WhatsApp?
Yes. Payment links are designed to be shared over messaging apps like WhatsApp, which is where many Indian MSMEs already talk to their customers.
Do I need a website to use payment links?
No. Payment links work independently of a website, so you can start collecting digital payments even if you don't have an online store yet.
