What is a Paytia secure encrypted telephone number?
Your Paytia number is a dedicated line for payments. Card details entered on it never reach your phone system, your agents or your call recordings.
When I call Paytia it puts the call back through to our main business telephone number?
That's the platform doing what it should. Here's how inbound and outbound calling work, and why the call comes back to your main number.
Can I use Agent Capture Assist with my mobile?
Yes. We deliver payment calls to mobiles just as readily as landlines — give us the mobile number during setup and verify it.
Do I Need to Replace My Existing Telephone Number?
No. Keep the number your customers already dial and forward those calls to your Paytia number. Nothing you've published has to change.
How can I set the telephone number that appears on my customer's phone when you call them?
When you call a customer they can see either your secure payment number or the number you're calling from. It defaults to the secure payment number — here's how to change it.
How do I enter my call forwarding number?
Where to enter the number your Paytia calls should forward to, so inbound calls reach the right phone.
