Link to Pay lets you accept payments through a unique, shareable link. You can quickly customize, create, manage, and share payment links through various channels, like email, social media, text messages.
When customers click the link, they are directed to a dedicated payment page with a Payment Form. Once a payment is completed, you will receive a notification via webhook, if previously set up.
This service streamlines payment acceptance for businesses of all sizes, offering simple link creation in SIBS Backoffice, or through API for code-based integrations.
