AstroPay, the global leader in online payment solutions, announced the launch of a new capability, Payment Links for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Brazil, enabling business owners to collect online and remote payments by simply sharing the link with their customers and get paid instantly easily and securely. 

Brazil’s 18.2 million micro and small companies accounted for 99% of businesses in the country and were responsible for 70% of employment created since the beginning of last year. With AstroPay’s new payment capability, small businesses without a website or online store can continue to serve their customers with an easy online payment solution that suits their needs. 

Payment Links enable business owners to create a link and share it with their customers via email or other electronic means of communication. Customers can pay with various local payment methods in their local currency or American dollars. Small business owners and customers can download and sign up for AstroPay App and get approved instantly to accept and make payments. 

Mikael Lijtenstein, CEO of AstroPay, said: “We understand it can be difficult for micro and small businesses to access conventional payment options due to their size, and they need solutions that are flexible. At AstroPay, we are committed to improving the day-to-day operations of businesses of all sizes, enabling them to make their customers’ experiences as seamless as possible. Our Payment Links capability gives micro and small business owners in Brazil the ability to deliver fast, easy and reliable way of charging their customers. It will help them grow their customer base, and we will continue to add more payment options and introduce Payment Links to more customers around the world.”
