Card payments right inside the chat: how to get paid without a webshop

Payments

Most sales in Kosovo and Albania close inside a conversation — Instagram, WhatsApp or Viber — not in a webshop. But that's exactly where payment stalls: "send it to our bank account", a photo of the payment slip, waiting. Plenty of orders die at that step.

With Toong, the operator (or the AI assistant itself) drops a secure payment link into the conversation with the amount and description. The customer opens it, pays by card or e-banking, and the confirmation appears automatically in the same thread.

  • Money goes straight to YOUR account — Toong never touches your funds; you connect your own payment account (Paysera, or Stripe for businesses registered in the EU/UK/US) and every payment settles there.
  • Card details never pass through us — the customer enters them on the payment processor's certified page, not in the chat.
  • Automatic confirmation — the moment the payment is approved, a "✅ Payment received" receipt lands in the conversation and your team sees the status in the inbox.

What businesses use it for

  • Booking deposits — clinics and salons taking a deposit for appointments (which also cuts no-shows).
  • Orders with delivery — Instagram shops collecting payment before shipping.
  • Service invoices — workshops, agencies and professionals billing without delays.

What if you have no online payment account at all?

Opening a Paysera business account is free and fully online — usually done within 1–2 days. For businesses with an existing e-commerce contract with their bank, we can connect that too. And until everything's ready, the assistant can share your bank details (IBAN) from its knowledge base — the old way, but automated.

Chat payments are included from the Growth plan up — see plans.
