Nequi for businesses: get paid on WhatsApp.
Nequi for businesses is how you get paid by Nequi's more than 27 million users in Colombia without leaving the conversation: you send a direct notification to their app, add it to your payment link or generate a QR code, and see the confirmation in the chat within seconds.
Three ways to get paid with Nequi on WhatsApp
Direct notification to the app
The customer gets the charge in their Nequi app and approves it with one tap, without opening any link.
Inside the payment link
Nequi shows up next to card, PSE, Bancolombia button and Daviplata in the same checkout, so the customer picks.
QR code
The customer scans it from their Nequi app and pays instantly, without typing a single detail.
How a Nequi charge works
- 01
You send the charge in the chat.
As a direct notification, inside a payment link or as a QR code, with the amount already set.
- 02
The customer approves in Nequi.
From their app or their bank, without leaving the WhatsApp conversation.
- 03
The confirmation lands in the chat.
Within seconds, as soon as Nequi confirms the payment, and it gets reconciled with the order.
Why getting paid with Nequi matters
Nequi has between 27 and 29 million users in Colombia, more customers than Bancolombia, and since September 1, 2026 it operates as an independent financial company under Grupo Cibest.
Getting paid with Nequi puts your business within reach of a customer base that already uses the app every day to pay and receive money, without asking them to install anything new.
For a business selling on WhatsApp, that means one less bit of friction: the customer doesn't have to leave the chat, reach for a card or copy an account number to pay you.
The app is also used just as much by customers in big cities as in small towns, so getting paid with Nequi widens your reach beyond the capitals too.
Direct notification, payment link or QR: which to use
All three options get you paid with Nequi; what changes is how they reach the customer.
| Way to get paid | When it fits | What the customer does |
|---|---|---|
| Direct notification | You already know the customer pays with Nequi | Opens their app and approves the charge with one tap |
| Inside the payment link | You don't know which method they'll pick | Chooses Nequi among the checkout options |
| QR code | The customer is in front of a counter or a physical spot | Scans the code from their Nequi app |
| Bulk collection | You're charging the same thing to many customers at once | Gets the charge inside a WhatsApp campaign |
