How Payment Links Work
A payment link is a unique, secure URL that leads a customer directly to a dedicated online payment portal. Instead of mailing a paper invoice or waiting for a manual ACH transfer, you deliver a clickable link via email, text message, or a digital branded invoice.
Your customer can settle the balance instantly—using a credit card, debit card, or ACH—from any device. The funds are routed straight to your merchant account, while your accounting system is updated automatically in the background.
Why It Matters for B2B Cash Flow
B2B transactions frequently involve high dollar amounts, strict documentation requirements, and multi-step approval processes. Payment links cut through this friction, offering a secure way to pay in seconds. Key advantages include:
-
Reduced Follow-ups: Fewer late payments and "check is in the mail" excuses.
-
Minimized Errors: Eliminates lost invoices and manual entry mistakes.
-
Lower DSO: Directly shortens your Days Sales Outstanding.

Staff Efficiency: Frees your team for higher-value growth tasks.
