AskToPay was awarded as one of Mastercard’s startup of the year, and this announcement sparked the interest of online businesses looking to expand their sales channels. AskToPay’s technology allows teens to complete their purchase at MDacne by sending their parents the payment request, with no need for parents to download any App or open accounts. Upon checkout at MDacne, the teen clicks on AskToPay as their payment method. A selfie video camera opens on their phone, and the teen has 15 seconds to convey to their parent why they are asking for the chosen products. The teen then “shares” the link with their parents via any messaging channel like WhatsApp, SMS, or Facebook Messenger. The parent receives the link, which upon opening, displays in a clear and organized manner, MDacne’s website name, the video request, the price, and the selected items for purchase. The parent then approves the purchase and completes the payment details. View video here*
