How does the Co-op Bank eCommerce solution work without a website?
The merchant receives a unique link (Pay-By-Link) which they will use to invoice their customers. It works as follows:
1. Once the merchant and the customer agree on the pricing, the merchant sends the payment link to the customer’s email address.
2. The customer will receive an invoice with the link in their email.
3. The link will open up a portal where the customer will insert their card details and the amount they are to pay.
4. Once the payment goes through, the merchant will receive a payment confirmation via email and SMS.
5. The customer will also receive a notification via SMS if they have subscribed to an SMS alert with their card provider.
