e-Invoice payment is perfect for merchants who do not have an e-commerce website and prefer to send e-invoices to their customers instead of payment links.
With e-invoice payment, merchants can provide complete invoices containing product details. Customers can conveniently settle their payments by either clicking on the ‘Click here to Pay’ button or scanning a QR code.
The key difference between e-invoice payment and payment links lies in their presentation: e-invoice payment integrates the payment functionality directly into the invoice, eliminating the need for a separate payment link. This streamlines the payment process for both merchants and customers. Whereas payment links require a separate invoice upload which some companies may still prefer as part of their internal processes.
Benefits of e-invoice payment:
- Pre-set invoicing schedule
- Set invoice due date
- Set auto reminders
