There are several ways to pay online, from doing it with PayPal to using an online bank with virtual cards . However, we have another method that we seldom take into consideration and that may be a good alternative, especially from a security point of view. In this case, we are talking about the Online Payments service, a very easy and safe way to manage purchases using the Movistar invoice. It is enough to have a Movistar mobile line to be able to make the payment.
There are several operators that offer this service, but today we are going to focus on Movistar in particular. Basically, it is a payment method that it makes available to its customers for free, through which they can make purchases of content or digital services, such as tickets or shows, transport or parking. The great advantage is that there is no need to pay them on the spot and these amounts are charged directly through the customer’s next mobile phone bill or deducted from their prepaid balance.
Movistar Online Payments
Movistar Online Payments allows you to carry out two types of transactions . On the one hand, a one-off purchase authorizing the amount of said one-off purchase on the next Movistar invoice or deducting it from the prepaid balance. On the other hand, a subscription, whether weekly or monthly, by clicking on the “confirm” button during the purchase flow, we will authorize to charge the amount of this subscription on the Movistar invoice or prepaid balance with the corresponding and indicated periodicity.
As a form of security, any transaction will be confirmed by SMS to the mobile associated with the charge. This message informs about the amount of the purchase, periodicity of the payment if it is a subscription, and the URL to enjoy the content or service. In addition, on the Movistar payment website we have a purchase history.
