Three ways to get paid

Every way includes:

  • Every payment matched to your order reference
  • Full and partial refunds
  • A clear record of who paid and when

Checkout on your website

  1. Your customer chooses “Pay with ViPPi”

    They go to a ViPPi payment page with your name, logo and the amount.

  2. They confirm in the ViPPi app

    On a phone, the app opens straight onto the payment. On a computer, they scan a QR code.

  3. They’re back on your site

    The customer returns to your shop, and you’re notified that the order is paid.

Your customers see who they’re paying

The ViPPi app shows your business name with a verified mark, what the payment is for and the amount. They confirm with their fingerprint, face or PIN.

  • They see who they’re paying before they confirm
  • There’s nothing to type
  • They can raise a problem from the payment in their app, and ViPPi looks into it

Customers confirm every payment in the ViPPi app. ViPPi’s payment page never asks for a PIN, a password or a code.

Questions

Do my customers need ViPPi?

Yes. They pay from their ViPPi wallet. If they don’t have the app yet, the payment page helps them install it and come back to pay.

What does it cost?

The fee per sale is low, and your customers pay nothing extra. The full fee schedule is published at launch.

Do I need a website?

No. Payment links work from any chat, social media post, SMS or email.

Can I refund a customer?

Yes, in full or in part, from the business portal or the API.

When can I start?

Online Payments isn’t live yet. Sign up your business and we’ll tell you when it opens.
