# PayCargo for Guests

### <mark style="color:$primary;">Overview</mark>

[**PayCargo Quick Pay**](https://app.paycargo.com/shipAndPay?utm_source=website\&utm_medium=sp-page\&utm_campaign=sp-web) is a guest payment option within the PayCargo platform that allows users to make **credit card payments** to logistics vendors without creating an account. It is designed for companies that make occasional payments and need a simple, secure way to submit them.

Quick Pay supports payments to vendors within the PayCargo network and follows the same secure processing standards used across the platform.

### <mark style="color:$primary;">How it Works</mark>

1. **Access PayCargo Quick Pay:** Open the PayCargo Quick Pay portal.
2. **Select the Vendor’s region:** Choose the region where the vendor is located.
3. **Select the Vendor:** Search for the logistics provider by name. Enter the name exactly as it appears on the invoice, as some vendors operate multiple locations.
4. **Enter payment details:** Provide the required reference information, such as:

* Invoice number
* Bill of Lading (BOL) number
* Air Waybill (AWB) number
* Payment amount

5. **Complete the payment:** Enter your contact information and credit card details. Once submitted, a payment receipt is emailed to both the payer and the vendor.

<summary>Why can't I find my Vendor on PayCargo Quick Pay?</summary>

Some vendors do not accept payments through **PayCargo Quick Pay**. In these cases, payments must be made using a [**PayCargo Payer Account**](/payments-and-finance/products/payer-shipper-account.md).

If a vendor is unavailable for PayCargo Quick Pay, the vendor name will appear **grayed out**, along with a message indicating the vendor is not available for guest payments. This applies to certain carriers, terminals, and portal-based payment programs.

If you cannot find the vendor you need, contact the PayCargo Support Team for guidance on available payment options and next steps.
