    Can Payit remove the headaches from your payment processes?

    • Instant settlement – payments usually cleared immediately (but, certainly within 2 hours).

    • One-off and reusable requests – send secure requests via email, letter, WhatsApp or SMS.

    • Own the look and feel – ensure the payment experience is tied to your brand.

    • Flexible tech – available as downloadable plugin on Adobe Commerce and WooCommerce.

    How does Payit work?

    Payit utilises secure Open Banking APIs to facilitate payments without the exchange of account details. This is achieved through a payment initiation call to the customer’s bank via Open Banking APIs. The customer authorises a payment using their bank’s online or mobile banking journey and funds are sent as a Faster Payment.

    What technical resource is required to integrate?

    The API technical integration is relatively straightforward, and we have a readily accessible sandbox which you can use to safely develop and test in. Please see our developer zone for technical specs.

    If you are using e-Commerce sites such as Adobe Commerce and WooCommerce then downloadable plugins are available, with more to come in 2023.

    How much does it cost?
