Receive payments via link

accelerate your collection process

When receiving payments via SMS or email, various payment methods such as credit cards, debit cards, digital wallets, wire transfer/EFT, BKM Express, and cryptocurrencies can be used. Businesses can easily collect payments from their customers by offering single or installment payment options with credit cards such as Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. It is crucial that consumers do not share their card information with anyone, including bank staff, during this process. Thanks to digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay, users can make fast and secure one-click payments using their stored card information. Some payment systems also allow payments via bank transfer or EFT by directing users through a payment link with a QR code or IBAN details. BKM Express, which is widely used in Turkey and enables payments without sharing card information, is a secure and practical payment method. On the other hand, some advanced payment infrastructures support cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, while alternative payment methods like Western Union and MoneyGram are also preferred by certain businesses.
