Mswipe believes in providing an end-to-end solution to make it easier for SMEs to go digital. With the Microsite and PayByLink, merchants can engage their customers online for product/service discovery, selection and also complete the loop with digital payments. The two offerings, coupled with digital bill and convenience to choose a payment method, will definitely help SMEs provide for their customers’ needs just as other e-commerce players.”
