Payaza Launches 'Chat & Pay' for Instant WhatsApp Payments

Payaza Africa Limited has announced the launch of its 'Chat & Pay' feature, designed to facilitate seamless instant payments via WhatsApp for businesses. This new feature allows merchants to receive payments through a dedicated WhatsApp number, automating the checkout process and providing a native chat experience.

Philip Akinyel, Chief Technology Officer of Payaza Africa, highlighted that this innovation aims to simplify the payment journey, which often breaks down, forcing customers to switch apps for payment verification. The 'Chat & Pay' feature is positioned to enhance the efficiency of transactions within Nigeria's growing conversational commerce ecosystem, ensuring that payments occur at the exact moment customers are ready to pay.

Payaza focuses on promoting financial inclusion and driving economic growth, providing innovative payment solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and large corporations across Africa, Europe, North America, and the Middle East.
