Not every customer who wants to buy your product<\/a> wants to pay through an online checkout. Some prefer bank transfers. Others may be buying from you at an event, over the phone or in a place where they can’t easily access the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a creator, you want to make it easy for these customers to pay. However, accepting direct transfers can create extra work. You have to check your bank account, confirm who made the payment, figure out which product they paid for and then send them what they bought. When you’re handling several orders, keeping track of every transfer can quickly become stressful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selar Offline gives your customers another way to pay without leaving you to manage every transfer manually. With this, each product you enable the feature for gets its own unique virtual account number. When a customer transfers money to that account, Selar identifies the payment and sends them an SMS containing their receipt and purchase link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means you can accept bank transfers in more situations without having to manually match payments to orders or send purchase links one by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, where can you use Selar Offline? Here are seven practical ways to put it to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Sell at physical events, conferences and exhibitions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s say you’re attending a conference, exhibition or networking event where you’ve set up a stand to promote your products. Someone walks up, shows interest in your ebook or online course and wants to buy it immediately. You could ask them to visit your Selar store and complete the online checkout. But what if they don’t have their card handy or would rather make a bank transfer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Selar Offline, you can share the virtual account details assigned to the product they want to buy. They can make the payment using their banking app, USSD or at a bank branch. Once the payment is matched, Selar sends them an SMS with their receipt and purchase link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don’t have to pause conversations with other potential customers to check your bank account or confirm transfers. You can continue attending to customers at your stand while Selar handles payment matching and the delivery of the purchase link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Collect payments during workshops and training sessions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you organise paid workshops, masterclasses, bootcamps or training sessions, you probably know that some people decide to register at the last minute. For example, you might be hosting a photography workshop, and someone decides to join after seeing your promotional materials at the venue. They’re interested, but they’d rather pay by bank transfer than go through an online checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of collecting the money into your personal account and manually recording their registration, you can share the virtual account assigned to your workshop or training product. They make the transfer, and Selar matches the payment to the right product and sends them their purchase details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also use this for in-person classes, paid seminars and other learning programmes where people may want to register and pay on the spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Sell at markets and pop-up shops<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you sell physical products at markets, fairs and pop-up shops, bank transfers may already be part of how you collect payments. However, receiving money in your account and having a system that identifies what each customer paid for are two different things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Say you’re selling skincare products at a pop-up shop. A customer picks a product, asks for your account number and makes a transfer. You then have to confirm the payment before handing over their purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selar Offline allows you can assign a unique virtual account to each product you enable the feature for. When a customer pays into that product’s account, Selar identifies the payment without you having to match every transfer manually. This gives you a more organised way to handle payments, particularly when you’re selling several products at a busy event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Take orders over the phone<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not every sale starts with someone visiting your website or social media page. Sometimes, a customer calls to ask about your product, confirms they want to buy it and asks how they can pay. This is common for creators who sell consulting sessions, digital resources, tickets, training programmes and other products through direct conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than sending your regular bank details and waiting for the customer to forward a payment screenshot, you can share the virtual account number assigned to the product. The customer makes the transfer, and Selar matches the payment and sends them an SMS with their receipt and purchase link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can complete the sale without constantly switching between your banking app and customer conversations to confirm payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Give customers who prefer bank transfers another way to pay<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some customers prefer bank transfers to card payments. It may be the payment method they’re most comfortable with, or they may not have their debit card available when they’re ready to buy. If you’ve ever had a customer ask, “Can I pay by transfer?” you’ll understand how useful it is to have another payment option available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Selar Offline, you can share the virtual account details assigned to the product. The customer makes the transfer, and Selar handles payment matching and sends their purchase details by SMS. You don’t have to turn away customers or manually manage every transfer just because they prefer to pay directly from their bank account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Sell to customers who can’t access the internet when making payment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Imagine someone wants to buy your ebook, but they don’t have mobile data at the moment. They may not be able to open your Selar store or complete a regular online checkout. However, they can still make a bank transfer using USSD or by visiting a bank branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selar Offline lets you share the product’s virtual account details, allowing them to make the payment without first going through your online checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the payment is received and matched, Selar sends them an SMS containing their receipt and purchase link. They can open the link when they have internet access to complete the purchase process and access their product. This gives customers another way to pay, even when they can’t access an online checkout at that moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Sell through your existing offline networks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You don’t always need social media, paid ads or a website to find people interested in what you sell. Think about the people you interact with at work, in your neighbourhood, at social gatherings, in religious communities, or in professional networks. Some of them may be interested in your ebooks, online courses, templates or other digital products. You can tell them about your products, share the relevant virtual account details and let them make a transfer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you’ve written an ebook on starting a small business, you could introduce it at a business networking meeting and share its virtual account details with interested attendees. When they make payment, Selar handles the matching and sends their purchase link by SMS. You can make sales through conversations and existing relationships without having to walk every interested buyer through your regular online checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start accepting bank transfers with Selar Offline<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your customers shouldn’t have to abandon a purchase simply because they’d rather pay by bank transfer or can’t complete your usual online checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re selling at an event, taking orders over the phone or reaching customers through your existing networks, Selar Offline gives you another way to collect payments while keeping your sales organised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
