Leveraging payment links to optimise your PoS machine

Today, many businesses want to make payments easy and safe. One way to do this
is by using a payment link. This
simple tool lets businesses share a link with the customers so they can pay
online without needing cash or a
physical card. So, how can this benefit your business?

Since a pay by link option allows customers to pay conveniently from any
location, it streamlines the payment process
and reduces the likelihood of errors. Want to know more? Read on as we discuss
how implementing a payment link can
improve the efficiency of your business operations.

Benefits of using payment links with your PoS machine

Generating payment links can help in multiple ways. Let’s see how:

1. Improved convenience and flexibility

• With a payment link, customers can pay from their phone, tablet or
  computer, wherever they are. There is no need to be in the store. This
  makes it super convenient for busy customers who prefer to shop from home.
• Customers don’t have to carry cash or a card. With just a few clicks, the
  payment is done. This is especially helpful for people who prefer digital
  payments or don’t want to handle cash.
• Our
  
  PoS machines
  
  and payment gateway,
  Plural, allow you to send payment links, which is perfect for taking payments
  even when customers aren’t with you. Customers can receive a payment link
  at the time of purchase or delivery and pay right from their phones.

2. Faster transactions

• Payment links simplify the checkout process by eliminating the need for
  card swipes or cash transactions. This results in faster transactions,
  reducing wait times and ensuring shorter queues, particularly during peak
  times such as lunch rushes or holiday sales.
• Efficient payment processing results in reduced queue lengths and
  increased customer satisfaction. A swift transaction process minimises
  delays and enhances the overall customer experience.
• With pay by link, transactions are completed in seconds, which makes
  things easier for everyone involved and allows staff to focus on other
  tasks.

3. Better customer experience

• Payment links provide a simple, contactless way to pay, which is great for
  customers who prefer no-touch options, especially in today’s
  health-conscious world.
• Customers love it when they don’t have to wait long or handle cash. It’s
  quick and easy and reduces the hassle of managing change or dealing with
  physical receipts.
• Our PoS machine,
  Touch, offers features like pay by link and pay by SMS for quick, remote
  payments. Pay by link allows merchants to accept EMIs through phone-based
  payment links, while pay by SMS enables easy, internet-free payments by
  simply sending a text. Both options offer secure, convenient payment
  solutions for busy businesses.

4. Streamlining operations and reducing errors

• Less cash handling means fewer errors in counting or giving change, which
  saves time and reduces staff stress.
• Payment links help track all sales, simplifying inventory and finances.
  Everything is recorded digitally, making it easier to manage and review
  transactions.
• Our PoS machine,
  Hub, uses payment links to facilitate transaction management, which is ideal
  for larger businesses that need to stay on top.

Security and reliability of payment links

When customers use a pay by link option, their payment details are secured
through encryption, ensuring their information remains safe and private. This
stops fraud and protects the customer and the business from online risks. It
implies that customers can click on a payment link sent by their favourite
cafe to pay for their order without sharing sensitive card information.

With payment links, there’s less chance of making mistakes because everything
is handled digitally. It’s like adding an extra layer of safety to every
payment.
