Get Paid Faster with Secure Pay by Link Solutions

Agicap's award-winning Accounts Receivable module has a powerful new addition: the pay by link feature.

What is pay by link?

Pay by link is a simple and secure online payment method that allows businesses to collect payments remotely, without the need for a traditional checkout. Here's how it works:

• Simplifies the payment process for your customers: Generate a payment link for your customer.
• Send it via email, SMS, or invoice.
• Customer pays online quickly and securely.
• Accelerate cash collection and improve customer experience.

What is pay by link feature in Agicap?

Make it as easy as possible for customers to pay you in 3 easy steps:

• Agicap tracks the payment and updates your cash management overview.

Agicap - the expert in pay by link solutions and cash collection

With Agicap's foundational AR module CashCollect, clients testify to a 20% reduction in DSO as well as a halving of the time spent by staff on dunning and collection. Simon Rauturier, CFO of the Plenetude group, says Agicap is "a reliable, ergonomic, and revolutionary tool for cash management".

Benefits of the Agicap pay by link solution

To the existing versatility and power of Agicap CashCollect, pay by link feature offers three key advantages:

• Simplifies the payment process for your customers: they just need to click on a link, and use a credit card.
• Reduces payment delays: every little counts. Streamlining cash collection reduces DSO (Days Sales Outstanding). If the DSO of a business is too high, then its Working Capital Requirement will be too high too - and that can lead to costly external financing. Avoid!
• Improves cash flow management for Agicap clients: in two ways. Firstly, payment links speed up the payment process, which improves cash flow. And, secondly, online payments are instantly registered by the Agicap cash management system and used to feed into accurate forecasting.

As with QR code payments, you can simplify the payment process for your customers, reduce payment delays, and improve cash flow management with pay by link.
