Why using Paysley is better?

Unlike most payment solutions, Paysley does not require your customers to register, log in, or download any app to be able to pay you. Instead, when your customer receives your payment request or invoice, they click the link in the text message or email or scan the QR code to access the payment page instantly. 

Every payment link takes your customer to a unique payment page associated with that payment request and invoice. It will take your customer only a few seconds to make a payment.

When we claim that your customers can pay you anywhere, anytime, we mean it!

When you log in for the first time

Our Quick Setup wizard will make it easy for you to setup your account. We recommend completing this wizard,  but you can skip this step any time to complete it later.   If you do not see the wizard, you can access your account configuration options by selecting the My Business Profile tab on your Paysley dashboard or clicking on your  email address at the top right of your browser screen.

  • Your business contact information will display on your invoices, payment pages, and receipts.
  • Upload  your logo. Any jpeg, png, or gif format image will work. The image file must be less than eight megabytes in size. We suggest a image with a 3 to 1 ratio for the best results.  
  • Select your time zone. Choosing a time zone will make it easier for you to monitor activity on your dashboard.  
  • By default, if you send a payment request or invoice by email, the email is sent from Paysley. To help your customers recognize your emails, we recommend configuring your SMTP email setting so that emails are sent from your company domain. Ask your email administrator for assistance.
  • There are ready-to-use messages for your text and email payment requests. Set up additional template messages that will meet your specific requirements. Use the available #tags  to include information unique to each payment request message . For more information, view our tutorial on setting up message templates.

You can  skip any configuration step, but make sure you click one of the two save options on the last page.
