Collects
Scenario: Quickly receive payments with a payment link
If you need to collect payments from clients without a complex technical integration, FedaPay offers a simple, effective solution. In just a few minutes, you can generate a secure payment link to send directly to your clients.
Steps to Receive Payment via Payment Link :
Create a Client
In your FedaPay dashboard, add a new client by filling in their basic information: first name, last name, and email (email is unique and essential for tracking clients). The phone number is optional.
Create a Transaction
A transaction represents the amount you expect from the client. Enter the transaction amount, add a description (required), and customize the return link after payment if necessary.
Generate a Payment Link
Once the transaction is created, a secure payment link is automatically generated. You can send it to the client via email, WhatsApp, SMS, or other communication channels. This link is valid for 24 hours and guarantees a secure transaction, processed by FedaPay.
Transaction Statuses :
-
pending : Pending (default status upon creation)
-
approved : Approved (payment successful)
-
declined : Declined (insufficient funds or payment issue)
-

For payout of winnings, online betting companies can use FedaPay to facilitate payouts to clients. This process simplifies payment transfers, offering clients a secure, quick experience.
Steps to Make a Payout to a Client :
Create a Payout
In the FedaPay dashboard, the betting company creates a payout for the winning client, specifying the payout amount and the client’s destination account.
