Problem
What this fixes
Many Nigerian businesses still collect through account numbers, screenshots and chat follow-up. That makes it hard to know which customer paid, what they paid for and who on the team has already followed up.

How it works
A simple workflow from setup to payment visibility
- 1

Why it matters
Compliance controls that support real payment operations
Less screenshot chasing
A payment link gives the customer a structured way to pay and gives your team a record to review.
Clearer customer context
Links can carry payment context so your team is not guessing what a transfer was meant for.
Workspace visibility
Authorised teammates can review transaction status without sharing one owner login.
Works with direct selling
The flow supports businesses that sell through chat, social media, invoices or direct customer requests.
Questions
Common questions
Clear answers before you choose this VelvPay workflow.
Who should use VelvPay payment links?
VelvPay payment links are useful for Nigerian businesses that sell through chat, social media, direct sales, invoices or custom customer requests.
Does a payment link replace my whole website?
No. It gives customers a focused payment page for a specific collection. Businesses that need catalogue or storefront workflows can use the commerce tools where enabled.
Can my team track link payments?
Yes. VelvPay records transactions in the merchant workspace so authorised team members can review status, customer context and next actions.
Will VelvPay automatically approve every payment?
No. VelvPay shows payment records and statuses. Your team should still review exceptions, failed attempts or unclear customer context when they appear.
