Waiting until they have a website before accepting online payments is a common assumption among Malaysian business owners. Understandable, but it is holding many businesses back.
According to Bank Negara Malaysia’s Annual Report 2025, Malaysians made an average of 538 e-payment transactions each in 2025, up 25% from the year before. Customers are clearly ready to pay digitally. The question for many SMEs is just how to meet them there, without the overhead of building a full online store.
Turns out, there is a much simpler way.
Key Takeaways

- What a Payment Link Is: A shareable URL that takes customers to a secure, hosted checkout page, managed from the Razorpay Curlec dashboard.
- Flexible Sharing: Payment links work across WhatsApp, email, Telegram, Instagram DM, and Facebook Messenger.
- Multiple Payment Methods Supported: Supports FPX, Visa and Mastercard, Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay, Boost, and DuitNow QR.

You Do Not Need a Website to Get Paid
Most sales conversations for Malaysian SMEs do not happen on a website. They happen on WhatsApp, over email, in Instagram DMs, and through Telegram groups. A customer asks about a product, you sort out the details, and then comes the awkward bit: how do they actually pay?
Asking someone to bank transfer and send a screenshot works until you are handling dozens of orders and reconciling payments manually becomes a part-time job. A full e-commerce checkout is often more than the situation calls for.
Get paid online in Malaysia without a website by using payment links instead. Generate a secure URL from your dashboard, paste it into the conversation you are already having, and your customer will complete the payment on a hosted checkout page. That is it.
What Is a Payment Link?
A payment link is a unique URL tied to a specific transaction amount. When a customer clicks it, they land on a secure, hosted checkout page pre-loaded with the payment details. They pick their preferred payment method, complete the transaction, and you get notified.
No storefront. No integration. No developer needed.
Payment links for small businesses in Malaysia through Razorpay Curlec run on the same infrastructure as full payment gateway setups, so you get the same security and compliance without the technical lift.
How Malaysian SMEs Are Using Payment Links in Practice
The range of businesses using payment links in Malaysia is wider than you might expect:
- Home-based bakers: A customer orders a custom cake over WhatsApp. The baker creates a payment link for the deposit and shares it in the same chat. Confirmed and paid before the batter is mixed.
- Freelance consultants: After sending a PDF proposal by email, the consultant includes a payment link for the first invoice in the same message. No login required, no back-and-forth.
- Tutors and trainers: Session confirmed, link sent. No chasing bank transfer screenshots or matching receipts to names at the end of the week.
- Service centres: Job done, link sent by SMS. Customer pays before picking up. Clean, trackable, no cash handling.
What all of these have in common: payment happens where the conversation already is.
WhatsApp, Email, Social: Where Payment Links Work Best
Once a payment link is generated, it works across every channel your customers already use:
- WhatsApp: Already where most Malaysian business conversations happen. Paste the link, and customers in Malaysia can accept payments via WhatsApp with a single tap.
- Email: Drop it into an invoice or a follow-up. Cleaner than asking for a bank transfer and far easier to track on both ends.
- Telegram and Instagram DM: Social commerce businesses can close transactions right inside the conversation without breaking the flow.
- Facebook Messenger: Works exactly the same way.
Not all your customers behave the same way. Some respond on WhatsApp within minutes, others only check their email. Payment links work across all of it from a single setup.
What Customers Can Pay With
