What is a pay by link?

A pay by link is when you send your customer a secure link by either text message or email for them to open securely and pay a balance due in their own time. It is a secure payment method as the customer enters their own card details and the link is sent via their own communication method to an email address or mobile number given by the customer.

At Nation Options Limited, our very own merchant panel supports PBL in our own unique way. Brand your pay by link page in the colours and brand of your business, making the payment experience tailored to your business.
