# Other Ways to Pay

> Let customers pay you via Wise, Revolut, Cash App, Venmo, GCash, WeChat Pay, Mercado Pago, and 20+ more platforms — they confirm payment manually after transferring.

# Other Ways to Pay

PayRequest lets you display your personal handles for **26 peer-to-peer and regional payment platforms** directly on your payment page. Customers pay you outside PayRequest, then click **I have paid** to confirm. No card processor required.

<Info>
  Configure your handles under **Settings → Payment Providers → Other Ways to Pay**. Only platforms you've saved with a handle appear on your customer-facing payment page.
</Info>

## How It Works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add your handle">
    Go to **Settings → Payment Providers → Other Ways to Pay**. Find the platform, enter your username, phone number, or account identifier, and click **Save**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Toggle visibility">
    Use the green toggle next to each saved platform to show or hide it on your payment page without deleting the handle.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Customer pays you directly">
    On your payment page the customer sees a button for each active platform. They tap it, transfer the amount in their own app, then return and click **I have paid**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="You confirm receipt">
    You receive a notification and can verify the transfer in your platform's app before marking the invoice as paid on your end.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  PayRequest cannot automatically verify "I have paid" confirmations for these platforms. Always check your platform app or bank before delivering goods or services.
</Warning>

## Smart Handle Correction

PayRequest automatically cleans up common input mistakes when you save a handle, so your payment links always work correctly.

| Platform        | Auto-corrected                               |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **Wise**        | Strips leading `@` and full URL prefix       |
| **Revolut**     | Strips leading `@` and full URL prefix       |
| **Venmo**       | Strips leading `@` and full URL prefix       |
| **bunq.me**     | Strips full URL prefix and leading `/`       |
| **Cash App**    | Strips `$` and full URL prefix               |
| **Binance Pay** | Digits only — non-numeric characters removed |

For example, pasting `https://wise.com/pay/me/johndoe` or `@johndoe` both save as `johndoe` and generate the correct `https://wise.com/pay/me/johndoe` link.

## Platform Link Types

Platforms fall into three categories based on how the customer-facing button behaves:

| Type                           | What happens                                           | Platforms                 |
| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------- |
| **Payment link (static)**      | Button opens a fixed URL with your handle              | Wise, Revolut, Venmo, UPI |
| **Payment link (with amount)** | Button opens a URL that includes the invoice amount    | bunq.me, Cash App, UPI    |
| **Display only**               | Handle is shown as text — customer opens their own app | All others                |

## Frequently Asked Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Do these platforms get verified automatically?">
    No. PayRequest displays the "I have paid" button and records the customer's confirmation, but cannot check whether the transfer actually happened. Always verify in your platform app before fulfilling orders.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I show multiple platforms at once?">
    Yes. Enable as many platforms as you like. All active platforms appear as buttons on your payment page, so customers can choose whichever they use.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What if a customer enters the wrong amount?">
    Since the transfer happens in an external app, you'll see the actual amount when you check your platform. If there's a discrepancy, follow up with the customer directly before confirming payment.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I hide a platform without deleting my handle?">
    Yes. Use the green toggle next to each platform. Toggling it off hides the platform from your payment page but keeps the handle saved so you can re-enable it anytime.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why is my Binance Pay ID only accepting numbers?">
    Binance Pay IDs are always numeric. The input field is restricted to digits only, and any non-numeric characters are automatically stripped when you save.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I pasted my full Wise profile URL — will it work?">
    Yes. PayRequest strips the URL prefix automatically. Whether you enter `johndoe`, `@johndoe`, or `https://wise.com/pay/me/johndoe`, the saved handle is always `johndoe` and the generated link is correct.
  </Accordion>
