As Coviu’s core goal is to enable the delivery of human services over a distance, our users have quite naturally asked for ways of charging their customers.
We wanted to make this work in a flexible manner, allowing all sorts of payment options that our customers may already have signed up. So, payments had to become add-on functionality to calls that users can dynamically turn on and off.
We decided to start with one payment option: Pin Payments. Pin are an Australian credit card payment service for businesses with a quick deposit right into your bank account. We used them for their simple process and simple API and made friends with them post implementation!
It’s only one of many add-ons that we’ve developed — others were for custom contracts and use cases. Our add-on approach is enabling us to have a standard user interface that we can easily adjust for custom use cases without having to deploy a completely new environment. It’s a very powerful concept and we’re planning to eventually open it up to other developers. For now, though, ask us directly if you have any custom needs.
Now to our announcement email.

Hi user,
Today we announce new ways in which Coviu works smarter for you and your business.
In-Call Payments
You can now request a credit card payment from your customer from right within a Coviu call. The money will go straight into your Pin Payments business account.
We’re only opening this up to a small beta group of 20 Team Accounts right now.
Be the first to access this new functionality and help us build a better experience.
Here is a sneak peek of Pin Payments in Coviu:
Need Custom Functionality?
Add-Ons allow you to adapt the Coviu video calling interface to your requirements — Coviu can be customised to provide the exact functionality that your business requires. Pin Payments is just one example of an Add-On.
Add-ons are custom developed by us and are very powerful — whether you need rendering of a different file type, a different user interface layout, or changes to the annotation toolbar — Coviu can readily accommodate your needs.
