Payment links improve your cash flow
Typically a link is paid within 24hrs
What is a Payment Link?
A payment link is simply a link to a web page with a payment form where your customers can pay you. A payment link doesn’t always have to look like a link, you could use it as a button or a QR code. A Payment link is a means to get paid quickly and conveniently. But not all payment link services were created equal, let us show why Shuttle has the most comprehensive link service available.
Flexible
Our Payment Links are different
Shuttle Payment Links are not limited like others. We recognise that businesses need flexibility and control to improve their payment collection processes. Our payment links are not tied to any one payment provider, they can let the customer define the amount or you can be very specific about what and how much they’re for.
Use your Payment Gateway
Connect from 30+ Payment Providers. This means you can use your preferred provider with the rates that you have agreed. No more 5% fees just because you’re using a hosted solution that doesn’t support your preferred payment gateway.
Use Multiple Payment Gateways/Methods
Get paid via PayPal, Buy Now Pay Later, Financing or Bank to Bank. Payment links that are from your payment provider are limited to that provider and their features.
Not tied to any product, invoice or amount
Use one link for everything or organise your links by creating many for each use case. Other providers make you create a product or invoice just so you can create a payment link. That’s missing the point.
Pre-authorize, capture payment or save a card
Take a payment now or just authorize the card or save the payment method for later. Other payment link products don’t empower the seller, they are merely designed for a simple use case.
Payment links are a sure-fire way to get paid. You know with 100% certainty payments are going to the right place and they’re secure. Customers get a receipt and sellers get payment confirmation.
Why Payment Links?
- Increase the opportunities to get paid
- Customer convenience
- Get paid via cards, bank transfer, wallet +
- Payment notifications
Test out the payment page
Let’s imagine we’re running a Dentist’s; we’ve setup three different links (see below) to manage the appointment booking where we pre-authorize a card, a second link for the appointment invoice payment and the third link for X-ray invoice payments.
We’ve embed an example payment page in the next section. This will typically be accessed by your customers when they click on your payment link, but of course, you can embed the payment link in an iframe like we have here.
You can enter any details in this test, no payment is taken.

The Payment Links admin lets you create and manage your links.

For Enterprise
Enterprises might be chasing thousands of payments on any given day; they need to empower their customer facing teams with the ability to collect payments easily.
- Create specific payment links for specific products or services, which makes it easier to keep track of who’s paying, what they’re paying for and when they pay.
- Share payment links through any of your communication channels. Enterprises are using phone, SMS, WhatsApp, email and chatbots to talk with their customers; these are ideal channels for sending a payment link.
- Send payment links as a backup to ensure payment collection. Enterprise sales processes should include secondary payment flows, so the customer is able to pay later if they were unable to pay on the first attempt. An example might be that a customer is on the phone but cannot share their card details or their card fails, you can send them a message with a payment link to pay at their convenience and chase accordingly.
