Customers already contact you through chat. Now they can pay through it too — securely, instantly, and without leaving the conversation. Here is why leading UK businesses are adding payment capability to their messaging channels.
Agents trigger a secure, Paytia-hosted payment form that appears inline within the chat window. Customers enter card details without leaving the conversation, and the form is fully PCI DSS Level 1 compliant.
Customers stay in the same chat from first enquiry to payment confirmation. No phone calls, no email links, no separate checkout pages. This eliminates the drop-off that occurs when customers are asked to switch channels.
Card data is captured exclusively within Paytia's secure hosted environment. It never touches your chat platform, your servers, or your agents' screens — dramatically reducing your PCI scope and compliance costs.
Works with Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp Business, web chat widgets, and custom chat applications. One integration covers all your messaging channels.
Both agent and customer see payment confirmation instantly within the chat thread. No waiting, no uncertainty. The conversation continues seamlessly after payment.
Every payment is logged with chat session ID, agent identity, timestamp, amount, and outcome. Full traceability for compliance reviews, dispute resolution, and financial reconciliation.
During a live chat conversation, the agent clicks a button to send a secure payment form. The customer sees it appear directly in the chat window — no redirects, no new tabs.
The payment form is hosted entirely by Paytia in a PCI DSS Level 1 environment. Card data goes directly to Paytia's secure infrastructure, never through your chat platform, servers, or network.
The payment processes in real time. Both the agent and customer see confirmation within the chat thread. A receipt can be sent automatically. The conversation continues without interruption.
Every time a customer is asked to switch channels — from chat to phone, or from chat to a separate payment page — there is a risk they will abandon the transaction. Web chat payments eliminate that friction entirely.
The payment form appears inline within the conversation. Customers complete the transaction in under 30 seconds without navigating away. Businesses typically see measurable improvements in conversion rates after implementing in-chat payments.
All payment data is processed through Paytia's PCI DSS Level 1 certified infrastructure. Sensitive card information never touches your chat platform, your servers, or your agents' screens.
Advanced tokenisation replaces card numbers with non-sensitive tokens immediately upon capture. This reduces your PCI DSS scope to the absolute minimum, lowering compliance costs and eliminating card-not-present data breach risk.
Web chat payments work for any business that communicates with customers through messaging channels. Here are some of the sectors seeing the strongest results.
