Why Payment Links for Small Businesses Are Changing the Way Owners Accept Payments

Payment Links via EFTPOS

In today’s fast-moving, mobile-first world, small businesses are rapidly shifting how they get paid. Whether you’re an on-the-go tradie, a mobile beauty therapist, or a consultant working remotely, the days of relying solely on in-person card payments or manual bank transfers are fading fast. In their place, secure, flexible online payment options like Tyro’s Payment Links 1 are emerging and changing the game for Aussie small business owners.

Launched in early 2025, Tyro’s Payment Links 1 offer a simple, fast, and hardware-free way for Tyro EFTPOS and eCommerce customers to accept online payments anytime, anywhere.

As CEO Jon Davey explained in Retail World Magazine:

“Running a small business means being ready to accept payments wherever and whenever your customers are ready to pay. That’s why we’ve launched Payment Links – to provide a seamless, secure, and cost-effective payment method for small businesses.”

What are Payment Links and how do they work?

A Payment Link 1 is a secure, one-time URL that allows a customer to pay remotely using Visa or Mastercard. With Tyro, you can create a Payment Link 1 directly through the Tyro Portal and share Payment Links 1 with customers via SMS, email, or messaging platforms.

Your customer clicks the link, enters their payment details, and pays — no in-person terminal is required. Payments can be made via Visa, Mastercard, or Google Pay with more options coming soon.

 

Why small businesses are embracing Payment Links

Remote-friendly

As remote work and mobile services grow, many businesses no longer have a fixed location or operate strictly in person. Payment Links 1 offer a flexible solution for service-based industries like:

  • Trades and home services
  • Beauty and wellness providers
  • Healthcare professionals
  • Consultants and freelancer

Faster payments, less chasing

Delayed payments can cripple small business cash flow. Tyro’s Payment Links 1 remove barriers like waiting on bank transfers or re-sending invoices. Payment requests are delivered instantly in just a few clicks, and customers can pay right away.

Security and compliance built-In

Security is non-negotiable. Tyro Payment Links 1 are encrypted, PCI-DSS compliant and each link expires after use, helping protect both businesses and customers.
