In the Philippines, thousands of emerging businesses rely on social media or third-party e-commerce platforms to reach their customers. For these businesses that don’t have their own websites, payment links offer a viable alternative for accepting cashless payments.
Payment links are URLs that take customers directly to a third-party payment processor’s checkout page so that they can complete their purchase. Offering a custom link for payment can help businesses without websites create a more professional checkout experience. It can also give businesses with existing e-commerce payment gateways an alternative way to facilitate payments, in case of site outages or simply to cater to specific customer payment preferences.
In the Philippine market, Maya Payment Links has emerged as the leading link payment solution for startups and SMEs (small- and medium-sized enterprises). Here’s where and how you can get Maya Payment Links for your online business:
Step 1: Create a Maya Business Manager Account
Register and set up your account in Maya Business Manager. You’ll need a Maya Business Manager account to enjoy Maya Payment Links and other Maya Business solutions. If you already have a Maya Business Manager account, you may skip this step.
Step 2: Get Your Custom Online Payment Link
Enable ‘Checkout’ and ‘Invoicing’ from Maya Business Manager. Once that’s done, you’ll receive an auto-generated payment link. Your payment link will have this format: https://mymaya.me/{merchantAlias}
You’ll be able to define your unique ‘merchant alias’ during onboarding and this will be a permanent part of your custom payment link. To update your merchant alias, please get in touch with your Maya Relationship Manager.
You can also set the exact transaction amount in the payment link by adding ‘?amt={amount}’ after the merchantAlias. Simply follow this format to set the amount: https://mymaya.me/{merchantAlias}?amt={amount}.
Example: https://mymaya.me/{merchantAlias}?amt=100
Step 3: Send Your Custom Payment Link
Once you have your custom payment link, you will be able to send it to customers through messenger apps (e.g. Messenger, Viber, WhatsApp, etc.) and email. All they need to do is to click on it and they will be directed to Maya’s checkout page to finish the transaction. From there, your customers can select a full range of cashless payment methods including but not limited to credit and debit cards, e-wallets, and QR Ph.
Step 4: Wait for Payment Confirmation Notifications
When you send Maya Payment Links, you’ll receive automated email notifications for successful payments. You’ll also be able to review the transaction details on your Maya Business Manager Dashboard, under the “Transactions” section.
