Online store payments for social commerce

Publish products, route customers through a clearer checkout experience, and review orders and payment activity from the merchant workspace.

VelvPay connects customer payment flows with the verification, approval, document and audit controls a growing merchant needs before payment operations become risky to manage manually.

Problem

What this fixes

Social orders often depend on manual availability checks, account-number messages and screenshots. As orders grow, it becomes harder to connect products, payments and fulfilment status.

  • Payment activity visibility from the merchant workspace
