Online Payments

Take payments online without the PCI scope

Not every payment happens on a phone call. Send a secure payment link by SMS, email or chat, embed a hosted checkout on your own site, or store a card for repeat billing — all without bringing PCI scope onto your own systems. Customers enter card details on Paytia's form, not yours, so you move from SAQ D (329 controls) to SAQ A (22). Same platform, same gateway, same reporting as your phone payments.

Why take payments online with Paytia?

Every online payment route on this page shares one property: the card entry lives on Paytia's infrastructure, not yours. Your site can redirect, embed, or send a link, but the numbers never land in your database, logs, or analytics tools. That's what makes the PCI scope reduction real — SAQ A instead of SAQ D, with nothing to audit on your side.

We're a UK company, PCI DSS Level 1 certified since 2015, and we integrate with most payment gateways. You keep your merchant account. We just take the card data out of your business.

Most customers start with payment links because they're the fastest to go live. If you need recurring billing, subscriptions, or a fully branded checkout later, you're already on the right platform — no second contract, no second integration.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a payment link and a hosted checkout?

A payment link is a one-off URL you send to a single customer, usually by SMS or email, for a specific amount. A hosted checkout is a branded page on your site where any customer can pay you. Both keep the card entry on Paytia's infrastructure so it never touches yours — the difference is just how the customer gets to it.

Can we store cards for repeat billing?

Yes. Paytia tokenises the card on first use and stores the token on our PCI-certified platform, not in your systems. You can charge the stored card on a schedule (recurring payments) or on demand (click-to-pay) without ever seeing the number again.

Do we need developers to add this to our site?

For payment links, no — you send them from the Paytia dashboard or trigger them from your CRM. For hosted checkout or click-to-pay, it's one embed code or a redirect, which your web team can drop in in under an hour. Nothing on your side touches card data.

Does this reduce our PCI scope?

Yes. Because customers enter card details on Paytia's pages — not yours — you typically move from SAQ D (329 requirements) to SAQ A (22 requirements). Your site becomes out-of-scope for card data.
