Why WhatsApp payments

Make paying as simple as a chat

Many small businesses already sell on WhatsApp, but chasing bank transfers and payment screenshots slows them down. Vendy lets customers pay in the same chat, by card, bank transfer, mobile money or USSD.

We get you set up, choose the right payment options for your customers, and make sure everything works before you start taking payments.
