Payments

Track Payments

Turn this off if you do not need to track payments.

Advance Payment Percentage

Leave this 0 to allow Payment on Pickup/Delivery. You can choose a value between 0 and 100.

UPI ID

(Not required when using payment gateway)

Providing UPI ID will allow customers to pay you using UPI. However, you will need to track and acknowledge every payment. This payment mechanism is FREE. However, customer experience is not good as they need to scan the QR or copy the UPI ID to make the payment. Also, link owner/staff needs to manually confirm the payment. This is reasonable method for businesses selling locally or businesses selling within a circle of trust, but if you are selling pan India this is not a recommended approach.

Integrate Payment Gateway

Using payment gateway helps automatic tracking of payment. This is useful if you get large number of orders on a daily basis. Payment gateway also allows to accept more payment modes like credit cards, net banking etc. pi-square is integrated with Razorpay, any payment gateway charges are payable directly to the payment gateway. Refer here for more information on payments. (Note: payment gateway integration is allowed only after you create the Link.)

Max Payment Pending Orders Per Customer

This is a simple mechanism for fraud prevention. This is set to one by default, which means customer cannot place another order until their previous payment dues are clear. Leave this blank if you do not wish to impose this restriction.

Chat

Enable Pi-SQuare Chat

You can use this to turn on/off the chat feature. If turned off to use WhatsApp chat.

Allow Guest Chat

Turn this on if you want to allow users to send to message without login. This can help new customers reach you easily but can also lead to spam messages. So decide based on your needs. We recommend to keep this off.

Other

Turn this on if you want users to discover your store, booking link or service using our search functionality. Enabling discovery will help people learn about your store, booking link or service. Once you enable discovery the lock appearing on the side of your Link will disappear.

Recommendations

Turn this on if you want to increase your average order value. When turned on, recommendations are shown to the buyer during the checkout flow. You pay only a percentage on additional sales generated through this.

Order Custom Fields
