What is a payment link?
A payment link is a convenient and straightforward way for your business to receive payments directly to your CashFlow Central account. It's an easy way to get paid by customers without having to include a lot of extra information.
A payment link connected to a specific invoice in your CashFlow Central account: You enter the amount and other payment details for the customer. Creating an invoice is required.
Copying the link when creating an invoice
Note:
- The payment link is only available for invoices that have been created, not for those saved as drafts.
- Every time you edit the invoice, a new link is generated. Previous links will automatically redirect to the latest version, so you don't need to resend it unless you'd like to.
- The link will no longer be available if the invoice is cancelled or has already been paid.
You can simply create an invoice to send a payment link to your customer.
A link will be generated after you select the Create and share button. So, you can easily share via email or copy to use on other messaging platforms.
