Pay at Counter Payment Solutions for Online Businesses
Pay at Counter payment allows customers to place an order online and complete the payment at a supported physical payment location, such as a participating bank, retail store, payment counter, or other authorized payment point.
This payment method can be useful for businesses that want to accept online orders from customers who prefer to pay in cash or through physical payment locations rather than using a credit card, mobile banking app, or digital wallet.
AI PAY helps businesses assess, set up, and integrate suitable Pay at Counter payment solutions with e-commerce websites, online stores, booking systems, SaaS platforms, and custom applications.
What Is Pay at Counter Payment?
Pay at Counter is an online-to-offline payment method.
A typical payment process works as follows:
1. The customer places an order online.
2. The customer selects Pay at Counter as the payment method.
3. The system generates payment instructions or a payment reference.
4. The customer visits a supported payment location.
5. The customer completes the payment.
6. The payment provider confirms the transaction.
7. The merchant's system updates the order status.
The exact process depends on the selected payment provider and supported payment network.
