SecureFlow Campaigns

Self-service payment campaigns for bills and donations

We built Campaigns for teams that collect payments regularly — utilities chasing arrears, charities running appeals, councils and housing associations collecting outside their main billing system. Clone a branded form, set the dates, publish it. Your payers get a QR code or link that takes them to a Paytia-hosted payment page. Card data never reaches your servers.

How a campaign goes live

Every campaign follows the same path — template, branding, publish, share. Here's what that looks like in practice.

  1. 1

    Clone a campaign template

    Pick a bill-payment or donation template and clone it with one click. Give it a name and set the campaign dates — no developer needed, no code to write.

  2. 2

    Brand it for the appeal

    Add your logo and brand colours, write the copy that explains the bill or the cause, and optionally embed a video to support the appeal. Each campaign looks like yours, not ours.

  3. 3

    Set the gateway and publish

    Choose which payment gateway collects funds for this campaign, set a fixed or open amount, and publish. Paytia generates a QR code and a shareable link straight away.

  4. 4

    Send the link or print the QR

    Email or text the link, embed it on your website, or print the QR code on letters and posters. Payers open your branded form on any device without needing an account.

  5. 5

    Payment reaches your gateway; card data doesn't reach you

    The customer keys their card into the Paytia-hosted form. The number goes straight to your gateway through Paytia — it never sits on your servers, in your database, or in a recording.

What's inside Campaigns

Campaigns is part of the SecureFlow platform — the same account, the same users, the same reporting as every other Paytia product. Here's what you get specifically with Campaigns.

One-click campaign cloning

Clone your master template as many times as you need — each clone is independent. Build a new campaign in minutes and adjust it without touching any shared settings.

Full brand control

Your logo, your colours, your copy. Fields are fully customizable, and you can embed a video to strengthen a donation appeal or explain a complex bill. Customers see your brand, not a generic payment page.

QR code and link, included

Every campaign gets both automatically. Print the QR on direct-mail letters; use the link for email, SMS, or a button on your website. Both routes take the payer to exactly the same form.

Active-date and gateway management

Set start and end dates for each campaign. Switch the gateway if you need to. Revoke or re-publish instantly without touching anything else in your setup.

Per-campaign reporting

Collection reports run per campaign, so your finance team can reconcile a water-arrears appeal separately from a donor drive. Custom reports and user-level permissions for refunds are included.

PCI DSS Level 1

We're a Level 1 certified service provider, audited every year. Because card data never enters your environment, your scope typically sits at SAQ A — 22 controls versus the 329 on SAQ D.

Payment Campaigns — common questions

What's Paytia Campaigns and who's it for?+

It's a self-service campaign builder for teams that collect payments regularly but don't want to build a bespoke checkout every time. Utilities use it to let customers clear arrears. Charities use it for seasonal and emergency donation appeals. Housing associations, local councils, and membership organizations use it for anything that doesn't fit neatly into their main billing system. You clone a template, brand it, and publish — Paytia generates the QR code and link.

How does the QR code work?+

When you publish a campaign, Paytia generates a unique QR code alongside a direct payment link. The QR is for printed media — letters, posters, leaflets — and scanning it takes the payer straight to your branded payment form. The link does the same job over email or SMS. Both routes open the same Paytia-hosted form, so the experience is consistent no matter where the customer comes from.

Does card data touch my systems?+

No. The payment form is hosted by Paytia, not by you. When a customer enters their card number, it goes from their browser to Paytia and on to your payment gateway. Your servers never see it, your database never stores it, and your staff never handle it. That's the whole point — you collect the payment without the PCI exposure.

What PCI scope does using Campaigns give me?+

Because card data never enters your environment, your PCI scope typically drops to SAQ A — the lightest questionnaire, with 22 controls. Most organizations start on SAQ D, which has 329. That's a material reduction in the compliance work your team has to carry each year.

Can I run several campaigns at the same time?+

Yes — there's no cap on active campaigns. You might run a winter fuel-debt campaign alongside an emergency appeal and a recurring donor drive, all live in parallel. Each campaign has its own QR code, its own link, its own reporting, and its own active dates, so they don't interfere with each other.

How long does it take to get started?+

Setting up Paytia and getting your first campaign live takes a few weeks. Most of that time is spent on the integration with your payment gateway and making sure the payment data feeds into the right places in your reconciliation workflow. Once the account is configured, launching each new campaign takes minutes.
