Get paid easily

One payment link from your own bank, sent in a tap.

  1. Open your business banking app (or ask your bank) and look for a way to make a payment link or payment request you can send on WhatsApp. Moms tap it and pay straight into your account.

    What we found on the banks' own websites:

    • Most SA banks: PayShap. It works with Absa, Capitec, FNB, Nedbank, Standard Bank, TymeBank and more. In your banking app, look for PayShap Request or Request money. payshap.co.za
    • Nedbank business: iK Pay Link makes payment links you can share. Nedbank page
    • Absa business: Mobipaid sends payment requests by SMS, email or social media. Absa page
    • Another bank? Ask in the app or at the branch: “Can I create a payment link to send to my clients?”
    Check any costs with your bank before you choose. Never share your banking PIN or OTP with anyone.

  2. Tools tab → Quick replies → tap +. Paste the text below, swap the brackets for your payment link, and set the shortcut to pay. Then type /pay in any chat.

    Shortcut: /pay

    Thank you, mama! 💗 Here's the easy way to pay for your Fit Mumz booking: [paste your payment link here] Please use your name as the reference, and I'll confirm your spot as soon as it comes through.
