A new feature for developers is now available in Allpay — Hosted Fields (also known as Open Fields).

This is a secure way to embed a payment form on a website or in an application, fully adapting it to your design. The feature enhances the user experience by eliminating the need to redirect customers to an external payment page. This creates a seamless interface and increases conversion rates.

The embedded payment form supports installment payments as well as quick payment buttons for Apple Pay and Bit. Additionally, if an error occurs during payment (e.g., an incorrect card number is entered), the system will immediately return an error message, allowing the customer to retry without restarting the payment process.

The form is available in four languages: English, Russian, Arabic, and Hebrew.

All Hosted Fields features are available to all Allpay users at no extra cost.

You can now add the Apple Pay button to your payment page to make the checkout process faster and more convenient for your customers.

Apple Pay allows clients to pay for goods and services with a single touch, without the need to manually enter card details. This is especially important for Apple device users, who account for approximately 25% of transactions worldwide.

Adding the Apple Pay button not only enhances the user experience but also helps increase the conversion rate of your payment page, boosting the percentage of successfully completed transactions. A quick and seamless payment process reduces the likelihood of customers leaving the page without completing their purchase.

To enable the button, simply activate it in the modules section of your Allpay dashboard. There is no additional transaction fee for Apple Pay payments, and no monthly fee is charged.

Our new affiliate program provides an opportunity to earn passive income from the turnover of referred customers. It is designed for developers, marketing agencies, marketplaces, consultants, media platforms, and other services that work with businesses in Israel.

The growth in the number of customers and the overall turnover of Allpay makes it possible to achieve better conditions, including in terms of pricing.

Despite the widespread increase in prices in Israel, Allpay as of January 1, 2025 reduces prices:

Cards. The fee for local card payments is reduced from 1.5% to 1.45%.

Bit. The additional fee for payments via Bit is completely cancelled. Now payments via Bit will cost 1.45%, just like card payments.

You can add the Bit button to the payment page in Settings → Modules.

3DS. The minimum fee for payments with 3DS (payment confirmation with an SMS code) is reduced from 2.5₪to 2₪.

Important updates to the language support of the Allpay payment page and app are enhancing conversion rates and reaching a larger audience.

Automatic language selection on the payment page

‍The payment page now automatically adjusts its language based on the customer's browser settings. There's no need to manually select a language for payment links — our system adapts to the customer's preferences and displays the page in the language they usually browse in. Additionally, a language switcher has been added to the payment page, allowing users to change the language at any time.

Arabic language support added

We’ve expanded our language support and now offer the payment page interface in Arabic. This improvement helps us reach an even broader audience and makes the payment process more intuitive for customers from different countries.

Payment page now supports 4 languages: English, Hebrew, Russian and Arabic.

Allpay payment links now include updated features, making the payment process even more convenient and efficient for businesses.

Multiple items on the payment page

‍The payment page now supports adding multiple items at once, such as a product and its delivery. This allows customers to see a complete breakdown of their purchase, reducing potential questions during payment.

Quantity selection for products

‍Customers can now select the desired quantity of products, providing flexibility when placing an order. Additionally, a limit can be set for the available quantity, which is useful for items with limited stock or event tickets. For example, customers can now purchase multiple tickets for a single event in one transaction.

Automatic deactivation of payment links

‍Each payment link can now be configured to deactivate automatically, helping businesses control payment availability. Once the specified time is reached, the link will stop accepting payments. This is especially useful for ticket sales, such as halting payments once an event has started.

Donation buttons

To support NGOs and other organizations, donation buttons with preset amounts can now be added to the payment page. Customers can quickly choose one of the suggested amounts or enter their own, making the donation process simple and accessible.

‍

Allpay users can now add a Bit button to their payment pages for quick payments from customers in Israel.

With this feature, customers don’t need to enter a phone number — just click the Bit button and confirm the payment in the app. Payments made via Bit will be credited to the business’s bank account along with payouts from other transactions.

What is Bit?

‍Bit is an Israeli payment app widely used for fast and secure transactions. It allows users to quickly transfer money, pay for goods and services, and perform other financial operations directly from their mobile devices.

The quick payment button increases payment page conversion rates. Another advantage is the higher payment limit for Bit transactions, set at 240,000 shekels per year (compared to 50,000 shekels per year for individual accounts).

How to enable Bit on your payment page

To add the Bit button to your payment pages, simply activate the "Bit" module in the "Modules" section of the Allpay app.

Since Bit is primarily designed for Israeli users, we’ve added an option to hide the Bit button for customers located abroad. Customer geolocation is determined automatically by their IP address.

A token is an encrypted “snapshot” of a customer's bank card used to create new payments without having to re-enter card details. Tokens are often used to create recurrent payments, for example, for weekly/monthly/yearly subscriptions.

Other applications include:

• “postpayment” — when the cost of a service is known after using it
• “Pay As You Go” — when the tariff price depends on the resources used by the user

Today's update concerns customers who accept payments on self-written websites using our API. The ability to accept recurring payments within the Allpay app will be available in the future.
