I'm a UX designer and certified product manager with 4+ years building financial products for underserved markets. I've spent that time turning wallet flows, identity verification, and agent banking into language that real people actually understand and act on. That work taught me something: good copy and good design solve the same problem. Now I'm bringing that thinking fully into copywriting.
Three pieces written for Paystack's merchant-facing product: a homepage rewrite, an onboarding email sequence, and a UX microcopy audit. All spec work, put together to show range across persuasion copy, nurture copy, and product writing.
Paystack gives your business a payments setup that actually works. Cards, bank transfers, mobile money and more. No complicated setup. No chasing failed transactions. Just money landing in your account.
Start accepting payments free →No setup fee. No monthly fee. You only pay when you get paid.
From first-time sellers to companies processing millions every month, Paystack is built for businesses that simply cannot afford downtime, failed payments, or a setup that takes a week to figure out.
When a customer pays you, you should feel it instantly. Real-time notifications, settlement tracking you can actually read, and records clear enough for when FIRS comes calling.
Accept Visa, Mastercard, Verve, bank transfer, mobile money, USSD. Whatever your customer has in their pocket, Paystack handles it. You do not need to think about the complexity underneath.
And when you are ready to pay your suppliers, your staff, or yourself? Moving money out is just as straightforward.
See all payment methods →Hi [First name],
Welcome to Paystack. Your account is live, which means you are already closer to getting paid than most businesses that started today.
There is just one thing standing between you and your first payment: verification. It takes about 5 minutes and it is the only way we can make sure money reaches you and not someone pretending to be you.
Here is what you will need:
- Your BVN
- A valid ID (NIN, passport, or driver's licence)
- Your business name, if you have one
That is it. Once you are verified, you can share your payment link, embed checkout on your site, or start sending invoices today.
Complete your verification now
Hi [First name],
Your account is verified. Good. A lot of people never get that far.
Now for the part that actually matters: getting paid.
The fastest way to collect your first payment is a Paystack Payment Link. It takes about 60 seconds to create and you can send it to anyone over WhatsApp, email, or Instagram DM. No website needed.
Here is how:
1. Go to your dashboard and click Payment Links
2. Click "New Payment Link"
3. Add your amount and what it is for
4. Copy the link and send it
That is your entire checkout experience. When your customer pays, you get an instant notification and the money settles to your bank account within 24 hours.
Create your first payment link
Hi [First name],
You collected your first payment on Paystack. That is genuinely the hard part and most businesses never get there.
Now that you know it works, here are three things worth setting up this week:
1. Invoice your customers
Send a professional invoice directly from your Paystack dashboard. Your customer gets a payment link built right in, so there is no back and forth.
2. Set up recurring payments
If you charge clients on a monthly basis, whether that is retainers, subscriptions, or tuition, Paystack handles the billing automatically. You get paid on schedule without having to chase anyone.
3. Add your team
Your accountant, business partner, or ops manager can access your dashboard without seeing your personal details. You control exactly what they can see and do.
