E-Commerce in Viber Communities
In Eastern Europe and parts of Asia, Viber is the dominant platform for small business. "Viber Communities" act as digital marketplaces where sellers post goods and buyers order via chat. The bottleneck is always the payment: scrolling up hundreds of messages to find the admin's bank account number is frustrating and leads to lost sales.
The "Pinned" Payment Solution
Paycilo allows Community Admins to pin a single Payment Link at the top of the chat. This ensures that every member, new or old, has instant access to the correct payment details.
Why Viber Sellers Need Paycilo
- Reduced Admin Work: Stop answering "What is the account number?" 50 times a day. Just reply "Check the pinned link."
- Multi-Currency Support: If your community spans borders (e.g., Ukraine/Poland), you can list bank accounts for both currencies on your Paycilo profile. The buyer chooses the one that suits them.
- Proof of Payment: Paycilo's interface encourages buyers to take a screenshot after paying. They can then send this image back to the Viber chat as proof, keeping your order fulfillment organized.
Privacy for Personal Accounts
Many Viber sellers use their personal phone numbers. Paycilo allows you to accept payments without associating your bank account directly with your phone number in a public search, adding a necessary layer of privacy to your side hustle.
