Restaurant, market, shop, marketplace — your customer has their bill paid by a relative in the same city, across the country or on the other side of the world, in a matter of seconds.
With Request to Pay, a customer at a restaurant, market or shop can ask a relative — in Europe, the USA or elsewhere in Africa — to settle their bill instantly, without any prior money transfer.
The cashier clicks "Request to Pay", enters the phone number or email of the remote payer. That person receives an SMS or email containing a secure link. By clicking the link, the ElyonPay Virtual Payment Terminal appears on their smartphone with the full payment context.
As soon as the payment is confirmed, the merchant receives an instant notification and can deliver the goods or service.
A simple, secure and instant process from merchant to remote payer.
The customer wants their bill paid by a relative. The cashier clicks "Request to Pay" and enters the amount, then the remote payer's contact (phone or email).
A secure SMS or email is instantly sent to the remote payer, wherever they are in the world — even abroad. The link contains all payment details.
By clicking the link, the ElyonPay Virtual Payment Terminal appears on their smartphone with the full context. They choose their payment method (Mobile Money, card, transfer) and pay.
The merchant receives an instant payment notification. The goods or service are delivered immediately. A digital receipt is sent to both parties.
