Send a Payment Link. Get Paid Quickly and Securely.

Pay by Link is a simple and secure way for businesses to accept payments without a website or POS terminal. You create a custom payment link in the FORA dashboard or mobile app and share it via email, SMS, WhatsApp, or social media. The customer clicks the link, gets redirected to a secure checkout page, and completes the payment with their preferred method (card, digital wallet, or local option). This makes it especially useful for remote sales, quick invoicing, or social commerce.

Yes. All Pay by Link transactions are processed on a PCI-DSS compliant and encrypted gateway. The payment page uses 3D Secure authentication when supported, adding an extra layer of fraud protection (e.g., OTP, biometric approval). Merchants don’t see or store card details — everything happens within FORA’s secure payment environment. This ensures maximum safety for both sides.

Absolutely. You can personalize payment links with: Invoice details (amount, currency, due date, reference number) Customer information (name, email, order ID) Business branding (logo and color scheme on the checkout page) This ensures your customers recognize your business instantly, reducing confusion and building trust.

Payouts from Pay by Link follow the same schedule as standard card transactions. In most regions, you’ll receive funds in T+1 or T+2 business days. All transactions are visible in the FORA back office, with real-time reporting so you can track who has paid, which links are still pending, and when payouts will hit your bank account.

Pay by Link is perfect for businesses that need a flexible, fast, and remote payment solution. Examples include: Service providers (consultants, freelancers, tutors) who invoice clients directly Hospitality businesses (hotels, restaurants) for deposits, no-show charges, or group bookings Retailers on social media selling via Instagram, WhatsApp, or Facebook Healthcare and beauty providers for advance or follow-up payments Essentially, any business that wants to avoid heavy checkout setups and get paid quickly from anywhere can benefit from Pay by Link.
