Are you still paying using cash? India’s simplest way to collect payments and sell online just got simpler. When we introduced the older Instamojo payment links, they were simple, easy to use and share with your buyers. Showered with love by our users, links evolved into many bigger things:

–  Payment Buttons
–  Payment APIs and Website Integration
–  Request a Payment (RAP)

This enabled everyone, from individuals to large enterprises, to collect payments and sell online.

Diversity in Payments

Instamojo payment links have been used to sell a crazy variety of things:

– Digital products like music, ebooks, digital art, etc.
– Physical products like clothes, furniture, paintings, name anything!
– Event tickets
– Services and memberships

All this collectively introduced diversity in our platform and it’s been getting crazier ever since.

Now with 3 payment use cases – Sell, Collect, and Integrate – it only made sense that our dashboard highlights the top things our users want to do. So how are we making things better?

Instamojo payment links – What’s new?

The dashboard now snugly holds all the important action buttons according to two core payment flows:

Here is how the new payment links/ Smart Links work:

2. Payment links for your online store:

If you are an existing user:

What earlier used to be the Payment link is now Add Product. It holds all the previous functionalities of payment link.

Whenever you Add Product, they appear on your Instamojo online store by default.

If you are a new user:

Products are a part of your online store. They appear on your store as cards. When you click on “Add product”, it creates a new Product link which stores all the information you provide about what you are trying to sell. When someone clicks on this link, they can make immediate payment to you to place an order for that particular product.

Click on Add Product if you are looking to:

– Add a new product (like clothes, paintings, electronic items, etc.) to your online store
– Sell an Event Ticket
– Sell digital content like music, digital art, etc.

Where is the old ‘Request a Payment’ feature on the Instamojo payment link?

With the new powerful links, you don’t need to send requests. You can create links and put them in an email, SMS, blog post, Facebook post, wherever required.

We will be moving the payment requests in our app store for users who want to use them.

Existing requests will continue to work. New users wanting to create requests will have to subscribe to the Payment requests app in the app store.

Ok, that’s enough words, time for action – Check out the new Payment Links All of us here at Instamojo are very excited and can’t wait to hear what you think.
