SimpleLink is a product of SimplePay and it is a payment solution that allows you to receive payment with a link. SimpleLink is designed to help small businesses receive payment for their goods and services with a link. And it is quite easy to use. The payment link can be sent to customers as SMS, on Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, Twitter, basically almost all social media platforms. It seems like the main objective is to make payment simple and to encourage social media commerce in Nigeria.
Why use SimpleLink? First, you’d be able to sell with a link and no website is needed. It has no setup fees ( I’m excited about this one), the customer gets an automated invoice via email as a confirmation of payment, there is also less transaction service charge compared to other payment solutions, 24/7 customer service so the customer can pay at any time. Also there is the added benefit of a world class security in compliance with PCI Security Council standards. Cool right?
I know you want to know how this SimpleLink works. As I said earlier, it is easy to use; you just need to:
- Go to SimpleLink.ng and signup
- Enter your product or service
- Generate a link to SMS, Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram etc.
- Then your customer has to click on your link on your social media page.
- A checkout page will then pop up with the items or services the customer is paying for
- The customer then fills in the card details, delivery address and makes payment.
- On payment customer receives invoice via email and you (merchant) receives notification of payment and delivery address by email.
So if you are a business owner, I think SimpleLink is for you.
