The Power of the Payment Blink
How to Close Sales Anywhere (WhatsApp, Social Media, Email)
Nov 25, 2024
The Payment Blink is Gecko Vision's chargeback-free payment link. Learn how this simple tool allows you to sell directly on social media, email, and chat apps, bypassing the traditional e-commerce checkout funnel.
In this post we'll cover:
In modern e-commerce, sales happen everywhere—not just on your Shopify store. They happen in a private message on Instagram, a DM on Twitter, a WhatsApp chat with a loyal customer, or a personalized email offer.
The problem? Traditional payment systems force you to send the customer back to a complex, multi-step checkout funnel, which kills conversion.
Gecko Vision's answer is the Payment Blink—a simple, chargeback-free payment link that allows you to close a sale instantly, wherever your customer is.
What is a Payment Blink?
A Payment Blink is a unique, secure URL generated instantly from your Gecko Vision merchant dashboard. It is essentially a single-use, pre-filled invoice that can be shared across any digital channel.
The Blink Advantage: Speed and Finality
The Payment Blink is more than just a link; it's a direct path to a chargeback-free sale, leveraging the power of Web3 finality.
