Australian small-business payments

PayTo for small business

PayTo is an Australian account-to-account payment method that lets a customer authorise a payment agreement with a business through their bank. ShaBaas Pay helps eligible Australian businesses use PayTo alongside PayID, payment links, hosted checkout and payment APIs.

Why businesses assess PayTo

Move beyond traditional payment collection workflows

Account-to-account

PayTo uses Australia's bank-payment infrastructure rather than requiring a card for the supported payment flow.

Customer authorisation

The customer reviews and authorises the PayTo agreement through their participating bank before payments are initiated under that agreement.

Payment visibility

Modern payment status and confirmation can support faster operational decisions and reconciliation workflows.

Common small-business use cases

Where PayTo can fit

  • Invoice and service payments
  • Repeat or scheduled payment arrangements where the supported agreement permits them
  • Professional, advisory, education and service businesses
  • Payment links and hosted checkout journeys
  • Software and platform payment integrations

Availability, bank support, agreement settings, transaction limits and settlement behaviour depend on the applicable payment flow and onboarding arrangements.
