How Mobile Payments Work

Mobile payments are among the simplest transactions to make online. As a merchant, you simply need to add the code boxPAY provides to you to enable the “Pay with your Mobile” widget on your website. Then your customers can click on the icon, and depending on the country, either enter their mobile phone number into the payment box or send an SMS to a designated number. Customers receive a SMS confirmation message with a PIN code, which they then enter back into the boxPAY payment box. That’s it! The transaction is complete within 10 seconds.

The best part about using boxPAY to charge for a virtual good or currency is that all a customer needs to complete a transaction is their mobile phone. There is no credit card or bank account information necessary. There are two main benefits to this:

  1. boxPAY expands the reach of your business to include countries and regions where credit cards are not as prevalent or access to them is limited.
  2. boxPAY increases the conversion rate, or the number transactions completed, by seamlessly integrating into the user experience of the game or website. There are no lengthy forms to fill out resulting in more users willing to complete the payment process.

You can implement boxPAY into your website the same day that you sign up and can begin billing customers immediately. We offer a completely user-friendly self-service platform that auto-generates the code you need for your website to start charging customers.
