We started by sitting with merchants to see how they actually get paid. Thirty interviews with owners and finance teams showed the same pattern. 68% were still reconciling bank accounts by hand every week. 81% said their customers hesitated to pay through unbranded links. 47% lost hours every month to multi-currency reconciliation. Payments weren’t the problem. Everything around them was. That set the direction. Instead of another payment tool, Yage became a hub built around the moment money comes in. We mapped every step from sign-in to a paid QR link and cut it down to four steps, with nothing more than two clicks deep. The brand had to earn trust at the exact point where a customer decides to pay, so the payment link carries the merchant’s own identity rather than looking like a third-party form. The interface grew from that one idea. One screen shows the whole day: collected, net, overdue and collection rate. Every transaction opens its full record in a side drawer. USD, GBP and EUR accounts sit side by side, matched to the customers who paid into them. Reports assemble themselves into PDF-ready summaries. Integrations connect banks, ERPs and POS systems once and keep them in sync. Support tickets live next to the payment they’re about, so nobody has to leave the app to fix a problem. Every flow was designed twice. The mobile app keeps the same hub, the same QR moment and the same ledger, sized for one thumb. In total that’s 160 screens, 80 for desktop and 80 for mobile. I then took the design into code and built the front end of the dashboard and landing page myself, so what shipped matches what was designed.
