The company said the new feature will enable merchants to complete transactions directly within WhatsApp, allowing customers to initiate and finalize payments through a guided chat interface without leaving the app.

Payaza  is set to expand its digital payments offering with the upcoming launch of ChatPay, a WhatsApp-based payment solution designed to simplify and automate the checkout experience for businesses.

The company said the new feature will enable merchants to complete transactions directly within WhatsApp, allowing customers to initiate and finalize payments through a guided chat interface without leaving the app.

With ChatPay, users are automatically prompted upon interaction, asked to input payment amounts, and presented with multiple payment options within a single seamless flow. The solution is aimed at helping businesses reduce friction in the checkout process, speed up transactions, and improve overall customer experience.

The launch reflects a growing trend toward conversational commerce, where messaging platforms are increasingly being used as end-to-end sales channels. By integrating payments directly into chat, Payaza is positioning itself to help businesses close sales faster while meeting customers in familiar digital environments.

The company indicated that ChatPay will be rolled out soon, signaling its push to deepen innovation in mobile-first payment solutions.
