Understanding Direct Order Links:

 

Direct order links, also referred to as payment links or pay-by-links, provide business owners  with a method to request and collect remote payments across various online and remote platforms. Integrating these links into your communication channels, such as email, digital invoices, websites, social media posts, instant messages, and even SMS, is effortless. The seamless nature of payment links streamlines the checkout process, minimizing friction and expanding selling opportunities for your business.
