Quick Pay
Quick Pay allows you to accept payments via a permanent, shareable link.
Overview
Quick Pay allows you to create a unique permanent payment link that can be shared with your customers (this allows you to accept multiple payments from multiple customers using the same payment link). This gives you the opportunity to accept payments online from your customers into your Viva account without the need for an e-commerce shop.
Quick Pay links are always active, and the amount and description of the payment is specified by each customer according to their requirements. We’ve designed this with smaller merchants in mind, like personal trainers, teachers, freelancers or anyone with a small circle of customers who they know personally. The service is also suitable for all charity institutions or humanitarian activities who want to publish a link on all platforms to accept donations.
Quick Pay takes advantage of our Smart Checkout solution, along with all the features and all payment methods it offers (except for PayPal)
Supported payment methods
Quick Pay supports a wide variety of payment methods, including:
- Cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Bancontact, JCB, Discover & Diners Club)
- Certain Digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay & Viva Wallet)
- Certain Local payment methods (BANCOMAT Pay, Bancontact QR, BitPay, BLIK, EPS, iDEAL, IRIS, MULTIBANCO, MB WAY, P24, PayU, Swish, Trustly, WeChat Pay & BlueCode)
- Certain Direct Debit & other payment methods (SEPA Direct Debit & Pay By Bank)
When using the Pay on Delivery payment method via Quick Pay, no Pay On Delivery Fee can be added. This fee can only be entered for payment orders created through an API request
Cross-border payments: You can accept payments from international customers for all payment methods except for local payment methods and Pay By Bank
