Send for Payment: User Guide

A comprehensive guide to the "Send for Payment" feature, covering Quick Links, Bulk Uploads, and Connect integration to help clients make one-time payments without an account.

Updated this week

Overview

The Send for Payment feature allows you to generate and send secure payment links to your clients. This enables them to make one-time payments without the need to create or manage an online account.

⚠️ Important: These are single-use links. If a client pays less than the full amount, a new link must be generated for the remaining balance.

🛠 General Setup

Before sending your first link, ensure your branding and security settings are configured:

  • Default Messaging: Set a standard email template in Send for Payment settings.

  • Disclaimers: Add a disclaimer message to the footer of your payment pages.

  • Security: Enable reCAPTCHA to prevent fraudulent activity.

  • Note: Admin permissions are required to access Settings and Notifications.


⚡ Quick Link

The fastest way to request a payment—ideal for one-off invoices or collecting old outstanding balances.

  1. Payment Information: Select the correct merchant account (if you have multiple) and enter the total amount due.

  2. Invoice Details (Optional): Add an invoice number or due date for better record-keeping.

  3. Choose Delivery Method:

    • Send via ClientPay: Select Yes for email, enter the recipient’s name/email, and click Send Link.

    • Manual Delivery: Select No, click Generate Link, and copy/paste it into your personal email or chat.


📂 Bulk Upload

Use this feature to create multiple invoices simultaneously using a spreadsheet (CSV or TXT).

Required Data Fields:

  • Invoice Number & Date

  • Due Date
