Getting Started

To get started using Quick Bills, please create a Sandbox account by clicking this link: https://sandbox.api.getsafepay.com/dashboard/signup.

You can create a live account by clicking here: https://www.getsafepay.com/dashboard/signup

Next, navigate to the Quick Links page accessible by clicking the link on the navigation bar

Once there, click the green button that says Create new link

This will open up a modal that will ask you to fill out three fields:

1. Currency: Choose to request money in either PKR (Rs) or USD ($)
2. Amount: Choose the amount you wish to request
3. Note: Enter a note your customer will see that describes what you’re requesting payment for

Click Create Link after you’re done filling out all these fields.

Next, copy the URL for the Quick Bill you just created and paste it in a new tab or browser window to verify that it looks just like you want it to.

You can optionally upload an avatar for your business by navigating to Account>Settings and uploading your business logo.

Finally, send the link to your customer either through email, WhatsApp, Messenger or any digital means you can think off.

Once your customer receives and completes the payment, both parties will be sent emails confirming the payment and the funds will arrive in your Safepay business account instantly

We hope this solves some of your problems with transacting online. As always, please leave your thoughts and advice in the comments below and we’ll use your feedback to improve our service!
