Blink Payment - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Blink is an online payments platform that has been developed to improve the way in which a business can accept and manage cards, open banking and direct debit payments.

With the Blink platform, you can simply and securely send payment requests and take over the phone payments. Both of these can also be integrated directly into your software management system or act standalone. Businesses accepting payments over the phone can do so using the virtual terminal within Blink. This can be used to accept one-off payments, schedule payments for future dates and set-up recurring payments. Payment links can be attached to an invoice or sent directly to customers via SMS or Email, allowing customers to make the payment at any time using a number of different methods including Apple Pay, Google Pay and Open Banking. These links also allow your business to view when the link has been opened and left unpaid, which is brilliant for credit control teams chasing un-paid invoices.

The reporting and reconciliation features within Blink give your business full visibility over all incoming payments whether that be through the portal, online gateways or through physical card machines. Reports can also be scheduled to pull automatically and sent directly to your email so business owners or accounts teams can see monthly, weekly or even daily revenue numbers. Blink customers can also directly reconcile their transactions into either Xero or Quickbooks. All of the features and more are available through the Blink API meaning you could be accepting and managing all of your payments without leaving your software. Software vendors looking to partner and offer payments within their solution can do so using the REST API whilst receiving a revenue share for all clients using the integration.
