Pay by Link UK: Payment Links for Small Businesses
Pay by link lets a business send a customer a secure payment page through a link. It can be useful for invoices, deposits, quotes, remote sales and businesses that do not need a full ecommerce shop.
What to compare
- How quickly links can be created.
- Fixed or customer-entered amounts.
- Expiry and reuse controls.
- Branding and checkout options.
- Receipts and payment notifications.
- Refunds and reporting.
- Recurring payments if required.
Payment links versus a full checkout
Payment links are often simpler for individual or remote transactions. A full ecommerce checkout is usually more appropriate when customers browse a catalogue, select products and complete an order online.
