If you have someone who can make the payment on your behalf, that would work as well. But they need to be present to make the payment as you submit the application. There is an application fee as well as an agent fee. You will also need to pay for the stamp on arrival in Vietnam. Remit the payment in cash, in American dollars.
Since the visa will show when you intend to arrive in the country and when you must leave, you should give thought to that so you will be able to include your itinerary in the application. Note that after the visa is issued, you can arrive in the country on the date indicated or after, but not before. You also cannot arrive after the 30 days have elapsed because then you need another Vietnam e-visa for Belgian.
Before you get started, ensure that you have collected all the requirements to submit an application for a visa.

When you have everything ready, go ahead to complete the application form. Ensure that you provide accurate information and that it corresponds with other information on your passport and any other document that may have a connection to the information provided in the application.

Carry the printed via with you and on arrival in Vietnam, hand this over along with your passport and two passport size photographs. You will have to pay a stamp fee for your passport stamping process.
Agent fees are separate from the other fees that you pay for the visa. Agents help an applicant in the visa approval process, and then send the visa to the applicant by email. Some agents can even meet you at the airport in Vietnam to help you get the stamp.
Agent fees do not have a fixed fee and it will vary according to the agent you use and the service they provide. Most agents will offer you a money-back guarantee if you do not succeed with your application.
You should also be informed that the e-visa is only for single entry and if you would like to go in and out of the country through the duration of your visa, you will need to look for a different visa which you will receive on arrival at the airport. The process is similar but you end up with an approval letter which you will have to present at the airport to be granted a visa.
