Running your own business is hard<\/strong> \u2013 finding customers, legal hassles, and let\u2019s not even talk about getting paid on time (or ever). At Instamojo, we\u2019ve been simplifying payments for a few years now, but this April we took things one step further with Instapay.<\/p>\n

About Instapay (PULL)<\/h3>\n

Instapay gave your bank account a beautiful new face.\u00a0<\/span>Gone were the days\u00a0of sharing your bank details, adding a beneficiary and waiting hours to make a transfer. All you had to do was share your profile link, and people could pay you instantly through credit card, debit card and net banking. Did someone say magic?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Just a minute there …<\/strong><\/p>\n

But there was still one teeny tiny thing<\/em> \u2013 you still share your\u00a0profile link with your customer and specify their bill amount. If you were doing more than a few payments a day, this was getting to be a hassle. So, we put on our thinking caps, and wondered – what if we could flip that, what if your profile could walk to your customers and demand your money?<\/span><\/p>\n

We tried really hard but\u00a0didn’t succeed in\u00a0building robots that chase your customers down asking for money, but today we’re launching two features that come close (okay, as close as possible):\u00a0Request a Payment & Bulk Requests.<\/p>\n

Request a Payment – RAP (PUSH)<\/h3>\n

\"request<\/a><\/p>\n

With Request a Payment<\/a>, we\u2019re taking Instapay<\/a> one step further. You can directly send a payment link to someone\u2019s e-mail or SMS inbox, where they\u2019re just two steps away from making a payment. <\/span><\/p>\n

Your InstaPay profile is prefilled with purpose and amount for each individual customer, making it super simple for people to pay you. Open mail or message, click the link, fill in payment details and boom, your cash registers will ring away.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bulk Requests<\/h3>\n

\"request<\/a><\/p>\n

For those of you who will\u00a0be sending tons of requests, we’ve simplified your life too!\u00a0Send multiple requests at one go\u00a0using\u00a0our Bulk Requests feature. Upload a CSV file with the customer email ids or phone numbers and the amount to be paid. We’ll automatically send out requests, you will be notified of the payments as usual.<\/p>\n
