In today's fast-paced world, the way we shop and sell has totally changed. Customers want super easy transactions without leaving their favourite apps - whether that's email, social media, or messaging. So, businesses have stepped up, selling on Instagram and even sending invoices over WhatsApp, ditching the old-school platforms. But, with all this convenience comes a new challenge - juggling payments across all these different channels can be a real headache.

While it’s never been easier for customers to buy stuff, handling payments across different platforms can quickly become a total nightmare for businesses. Chasing down debtors, keeping up with billing, and collecting subscription fees? Talk about a headache! But don’t worry, WigWag, powered by Stitch, is here to save the day with a super simple and streamlined solution to keep things running smoothly.

WigWag’s Unique Origin Story

Even though WigWag formally launched in September 2023 and continues to grow, the WigWag brand isn't entirely new – in fact, our founders created the foundation for WigWag well before they built Stitch. Originally envisioned as a peer-to-peer payment solution, WigWag faced the challenges of complex bank integrations and cumbersome user experiences for individuals to pay each other. This journey led our founders to pivot and focus on building a robust payment infrastructure, thus giving birth to what Stitch is today.

For a long time, we continued to use WigWag internally as a P2P solution to test Stitch products, send each other funds, and demonstrate the power of Stitch to our early clients. Today, WigWag remains powered by Stitch but has been reimagined and tailored specifically to meet the varying needs of Entrepreneurs. Our solutions enable businesses to start accepting and tracking payments in minutes without even needing a website, extensive coding, or technical stress.

Here’s what we offer:

No-Code Checkout Links: Quickly generate and send payment links via any chat, SMS, or email platform.

WhatsApp Assistant: Manage your finances on the go, check payment statuses, and generate payment links via WhatsApp.

E-Commerce Payment Plugins: Integrate with WooCommerce, Webflow, Squarespace, and Shopify to accept payments directly on your online store.

REST API: Automate recurring billing, balance queries, and debtor management with our easy-to-integrate API.

Xero Integration: Create unique payment links within Xero invoices to simplify payments for your customers.
