Payments in chat
Making a payment request look like a payment request
The challenge
Tarsil builds Pakistan's first bottled-water delivery software, with a rider app used by water businesses across the country. Collecting money was the weak link: a customer receiving a payment request on a random number has no way to tell a genuine invoice from a scam — and in Pakistan, hesitating is the rational response. Every doubtful customer meant a delayed payment or a rider sent back for cash.
What they built with WABPO
Tarsil connected WABPO so payment collection happens inside the same official WhatsApp conversation the customer already uses for deliveries. The invoice arrives on the business's verified number, in the same thread as the delivery confirmation, and the customer pays by link in rupees without leaving the chat — settling directly into the business's own account.
What changed
The question customers used to ask — is this real? — largely stops being asked. A verified sender, a real invoice and a familiar thread do the work that reassurance calls used to, and Tarsil reports both collection trust and revenue moving in the right direction.
