One of the main benefits of accepting online payments is that your business is always open and not limited to standard opening hours. Customers can browse your products, pay invoices, book services or complete purchases whenever it suits them. Whether someone is placing an order late in the evening or paying an invoice during a busy working day, online payments give people the flexibility they now expect.
We offer a range of online payment solutions designed to make taking payments simpler and more convenient for businesses of all sizes. Whether you need a payment page built into your website, secure payment links sent by email or text or a way to accept payments on the move, we can help you find the right option.
Our online payment systems are built with security in mind, helping protect your business and your customers throughout the payment process. At Modern World, we are here to help you get paid on time and securely without unnecessary admin wherever possible.
Choose the Right Solution for Your Business
A payment gateway allows customers to pay securely through your website using debit cards, credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Wallet and other popular payment methods. The payment process is built directly into your checkout, creating a straightforward experience for customers.
Pay by link is a flexible solution for businesses that send invoices, quotations, booking confirmations or one off payment requests. Instead of asking customers to arrange a bank transfer or call to make payment, you simply send a secure payment link by email or text message.
Payment App
For businesses that work remotely or spend time travelling between appointments, a payment app provides added flexibility. Using your phone, you can send invoices, request payments and manage transactions while away from your desk.
A virtual terminal allows you to take secure card payments over the phone. This is ideal for customers who prefer to call directly, place an order and make payment immediately. A virtual terminal gives you a secure and reliable way to process those payments without needing the customer to visit your website.
Understanding Your Options
With several online payment solutions available, it helps to understand how each one works and where it might fit into your business.
Payment Gateway
A payment gateway integrates with your website and securely transfers your customer’s payment details to the acquiring bank for approval. Once the transaction has been verified, the payment is processed automatically.
For online retailers, subscription services and businesses that regularly sell through their website, the payment gateway is one of the most important parts of the checkout process. It allows you to take payments through all major cards providers such as Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Wallet and more, directly through your website. Easy options for your customers encourage spending and they expect payments to be processed quickly and securely, without unnecessary steps.
Payment Link
Payment links work particularly well for businesses that combine online and offline sales, appointments or invoicing. You can add a secure payment link to invoices, booking confirmations, reminder emails or text messages. Your customer clicks then pays and the transaction is complete.
This creates a faster and more convenient payment process for customers, while helping businesses reduce the amount of time spent following up unpaid invoices.
Payment App
Businesses that operate on the move often need payment solutions that are flexible and easy to manage. Payment apps allow you to send invoices and collect payments directly from your phone, wherever you happen to be working.
Whether you are visiting customers, travelling between jobs or working remotely, having access to payments while on the move can make everyday admin more manageable.
Phone Payments
A virtual terminal gives customers the option to call, place an order and make payment in a single conversation. Some customers still prefer speaking to someone directly before making payment, particularly for larger purchases or service bookings.
This payment method remains popular with takeaways, garages, tradespeople and service based businesses that regularly process payments over the phone.
Security You Can Trust
Security is an important part of accepting online payments. Customers want reassurance that their payment information is protected and businesses need payment systems they can rely on day to day.
All of our online payment solutions include modern security features designed to protect cardholder data throughout the transaction process. Secure online payments not only help reduce fraud risks, but also help build customer confidence when paying online.
Getting Started
To begin accepting online payments, you will need a merchant account. This is where payment funds are securely held while transactions are verified and approved before being transferred into your business bank account.
Although the process may sound technical at first, setting up online payments is usually more straightforward than many businesses expect. Our team will guide you through the setup process, explain the available options clearly and help make sure everything is working correctly from the start.
