Close deals instantly by sending payment links directly in WhatsApp conversations.
Prerequisites

How to send a payment link
- Open the conversation
- Click the 💳 Payment button in the header
- Fill in:
- Amount — The payment amount
- Currency — INR, USD, etc.
- Description — What the payment is for (e.g., "Invoice #123", "Product XYZ")
- Click "Create & Send"
The customer receives a clickable link that opens a secure payment page.
What the customer sees
The customer receives a message like:
💳 Payment Request
Amount: ₹999
For: Premium Plan - Monthly
[Pay Now →]
When they tap "Pay Now", their browser opens with the payment form (Razorpay/Stripe checkout).
Tracking payment status
After sending, you can see the payment status in the conversation:
- Created — Link sent, waiting for payment
- Paid ✅ — Customer completed payment
- Failed — Payment attempt failed
- Expired — Link expired without payment
Tips
- Include clear descriptions — "Monthly subscription" is better than "Payment"
- Send during conversation — Higher conversion when customer is engaged
- Follow up — If not paid within a few hours, send a gentle reminder
