Article summary

What are Digital Payment Requests?

  • For a merchant, a Digital Payment Request is a simple way to request payment from customers, paying for goods or services outside of traditional online purchases.  

  • A Digital Payment Request can be a link or a button, which can be sent to the customer to enable them to make a payment securely. The link can be sent via email, app, text, or embedded in the invoice.

  • By clicking the payment request, customers can choose to pay via Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Open Banking.

  • All payment methods can be activated individually, except for Cards which is activated by default for all integrators and merchants. For Apple Pay you will also need to register merchants via an API.
