Online Payments Education
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.”
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.
