Your own payment link and direct payment: how it works end to end
Direct payment methods are off for new sales; this page explains older-order compatibility and points sellers to Stripe.
Important update: the payment methods on this page (your own payment link and direct payment) are currently switched off; selling runs through Stripe, and in Israel through MyVisito Payments. This page is kept for reference.
The two simplest payment methods need no technical setup at all: your own payment link (Grow, Bit, PayBox, PayPal.me, and in the US Venmo, Zelle or Cash App; the service is recognized from the link and buyers see a branded button) and a direct payment arrangement (cash, bit, bank transfer or phone). On both, MyVisito charges no platform fee at all, and the money goes directly to you.
How it works, step by step
- Buyers order on your product page. The order is recorded with us first, with the name, email and the exact amount from your product price (including any sale or coupon).
- Buyers get an "order received" email with the amount to pay, a personal order page, and your payment instructions (for direct arrangements: the "how to pay" note you set on the product).
- With a personal link: buyers continue automatically to your payment page and pay there. With a direct arrangement: they pay you the way you agreed. Either way, they can upload a payment receipt on their order page, and you will see it next to the confirm button.
- You confirm the order on the orders screen the moment the payment reaches you. Confirmation releases delivery: a digital file or course opens for the buyer immediately, with an access email.
- No payment arrived? Send the buyer a reminder, or cancel the order. An order waiting more than 48 hours reminds you by bell and email.
The important rules
- The recorded amount is the amount to collect. The order is recorded at your system price, and buyers see it on the order page and in the email. Collect exactly that amount.
- Invoicing is your responsibility. If you issued a document in another system, you can attach it to the order on the orders screen (Attach invoice), and we email it to the buyer and show it on the order page.
- Refunds run on your side. On direct or external payments MyVisito cannot move money back; refund the way you were paid, then mark the order refunded.
When to choose these methods
The information above is kept only as background for older orders. New paid selling requires Stripe; in Israel, setup uses the MyVisito rail.
