How Pay-by-Link Works
It starts when a merchant creates a secure payment link for a specific amount, currency, and purpose (for example, an invoice or one-time fee). The link is then sent via email, chat, or SMS. The customer opens it, completes the payment on the hosted page, and the merchant receives the final status plus transaction details for tracking and reconciliation.
Akurateco’s open-source, customizable infrastructure functions as a centralized decision layer between your business and multiple PSPs/acquirers. It creates a hosted payment flow in real time using transaction data and routing options to select the best provider, all controlled in one system with scalable capabilities. As a result, link payments remain consistent across markets and channels, while intelligent routing, failover, and monitoring remain centralized rather than being rebuilt per PSP.
Why Pay-by-Link Matters for Your Business
Pay-by-Link lets you collect payments without a full website checkout, which is ideal for invoices, remote sales, and support-led payments. It reduces friction for one-time purchases because customers can pay straight from a message. It also improves operational speed by moving “pay now” into the channels your customers already use.
Akurateco includes Pay-by-Link as part of its orchestration platform, so teams can build consistent link-based flows across multiple providers from a single place. Developers don’t need to maintain separate pages or custom logic per processor for every payment Project. Akurateco adds rollout services, an open-source deployment route, predictable pricing, and strong security controls to keep payment operations scalable and reliable.
