Getting paid online should not be hard. Whether you are a shop owner, freelancer, or run a tuition class, your customers expect a simple way to pay.
Indiplex makes it easy with a feature called Payment Links.
This blog will help you understand how payment links work, why they are useful, and how you can use them in your business, even without a website or app.
What is a Payment Link?
A payment link is a special web link that helps you collect money online.
You create this link and send it to your customer using WhatsApp, SMS, email, or any other way. Your customer clicks the link, enters their payment details, and pays you.
You don’t need to have a website or a payment system on your own. Everything is handled by Indiplex.
