What online payment methods are available to businesses
In this article, we'll discuss three main ways businesses can accept online payments:
- Payment links
- Online acquiring on a website (Visa card acceptance)
- QR codes for remote payment
The choice depends on where you sell — through a website, Instagram, or directly to customers.
Method 1. Payment links
Suitable for businesses without a website.
How it works:
- You create a payment link
- Send it to the client via WhatsApp, Telegram, or Instagram
- Client pays online
- Money goes to the bank account.
Method 2. Online acquiring for websites
If you have a website or online store, you can connect bank card acceptance.
Client:
- selects a product
- enters card details
- confirms payment
Business receives payment to the bank account.
Method 3. Online QR
Even if the client is not nearby, you can send them a QR code or an image with a QR for payment.
The client scans the code in their mobile bank and confirms the payment.
