FAQs
What will my client see?
To make a payment, your client selects the item they require and proceeds to pay.
Each person making a payment will register their details and create their own account.
When they return to pay you a second time they simply enter their email address and password and continue to make their payment.
What about security?
Payzone uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) to transmit all data over the internet.
SSL is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web
server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browsers remain private and integral. SSL is an industry-standard and is used by millions of websites in the protection of
their online transactions with their customers.
Where does the money go?
The money will go directly to your bank account. There are no third parties.
Do I need a website?
You don't need a website. We can set you up with an administration account so you can log in and accept your client’s
payments.
