WhatsApp payments: The easiest way for service providers to get paid

You finished the class or session. The client is happy. But now comes the awkward part: chasing the payment. Whether it’s a forgotten transfer, a late invoice or a card machine that doesn’t connect, getting paid shouldn’t be the hardest part of your work. With WhatsApp payments, it isn’t.

  • Independent service providers lose time and money chasing payments

  • Sending payment requests inside WhatsApp speeds things up

  • Clients pay where they already are. No app, no portal, no delay

  • AllSet handles it automatically: message sent, payment done

The problem with traditional payments

Bank transfers get delayed

Clients mean to send it… but then they forget. Or send it to the wrong account. Or ask for the details again.

Card readers are clunky

You have to carry a device. It needs Wi-Fi. It breaks. It slows you down.

Invoicing tools don’t feel natural

Asking someone to open an invoice portal or download a PDF just to pay for a massage or a haircut? Too formal. Too slow.

Why WhatsApp is the perfect place to get paid

It’s where the conversation already is

If the booking happened in the thread, why shouldn’t the payment? There’s no context switch. Just one message, one reply.

Clients are more responsive

Payment links sent in WhatsApp are seen faster and acted on more often than emails or texts.

It feels friendly, not transactional

Instead of saying “I’ll email you an invoice,” you say, “Here’s the payment link.” Done.

How AllSet handles payments inside WhatsApp

Automatically triggered before and after each booking

Once the session is confirmed, AllSet sends the payment link when the time is right; no need to remember or send it manually.

AllSet also lets you know if clients haven’t paid and will chase them on your behalf.

No third-party apps or logins

Clients just tap the link and pay. No accounts. No friction. Just done.

You get notified, they get confirmation

The moment the payment goes through, you’re both updated inside the same thread.

Real-world example: Sports therapist, paid before packing up

Tom runs mobile sports therapy sessions across Kent. Before using AllSet, half his clients paid days later or needed chasing. Now, AllSet sends the payment prompt during the session. By the time Tom’s packing up, he’s already been paid. No awkward follow-up. No delays.
