A payment link is a URL that takes customers directly to a unique payment page to complete a payment. With Solidgate, you can quickly create a payment link URL and embed it or share it via email.

Solidgate Payment Links are code-free and reusable, allowing you to share them as many times as needed.

• Handling submissions
  The system handles payment submissions via the Payment Link securely and efficiently, ensuring the data is processed accurately and promptly.
• Retry mechanism
  The retry mechanism for declined payments is integrated into the payment process, allowing customers to immediately try the payment again, offering convenience and reducing the potential for abandoned transactions.

Manage payment link

You can create and customize payment links using the API or Hub. You need to provide transaction details, adjusting the appearance, and managing options such as editing, duplicating, or deleting links as needed.

All your created payment links are available on the Payments > Payment links page, where you can seamlessly perform the required actions.

Create payment link

1. Go to Payments > Payment links.
2. In the top-right corner, click on the Create payment link button.
3. On the details page, complete the payment link information.
4. Click on Create payment link to confirm.

Once created, share the generated Payment Link URL with your customers. When generating via API, you can find it in the url field of the response.

To track the payment source, you can add the traffic source traffic_source to your Payment Link URL. After your customer makes a payment via Payment Link, you can find it in the Payments > Orders list.

Customize payment link

The customization options are identical to the list of payment page.

Additionally, the language parameter set in your payment pink request controls the language of email receipts sent to customers. If supported, it helps to provide a consistent localized experience across the payment page and email communications.

Configure payment link

To restrict the payment link to a single successful payment, set the optional parameter usage_mode to single_use type. Customers can retry failed payments multiple times using different payment methods or cards.

To define who sets the payment amount, provide the optional parameter amount_setter to either merchant or payer type. If set to payer , the payment amount is determined by the payer’s input, allowing flexible payment amounts, which the merchant may deposit into the customer’s account.

Edit payment link

1. Go to Payments > Payment links.
2. Find the payment link you need by ID and click on it to open the details page.
3. In the top-right corner, click on Edit to insert desired changes.
4. Click on Update payment link to confirm.

Subscription payments

Subscription payments are recurring payments, such as monthly or annual fees, whereas payments are for single, non-recurring transactions.

To create a subscription payment link, complete the required steps via API or Hub.

When setting up the subscription, ensure that product_id and product_price_id are set instead of amount and currency. Verify that the product’s price is accurate, as it cannot be changed once the first subscription is created.

Setting the correct product_price_id is essential for multi-currency products to ensure customers see the correct price based on their currency and location. You can get product_price_id via the get product prices API request.

Payment Link stores your product price for the fastest page load, so displaying the updated price may take up to 15 minutes.

Share payment link

Upon receiving a payment link URL, share it with your customers to accept payments. You can share a single link multiple times.

You can share your payment link URL in multiple ways:

• Embed it in a button on your website
• Send it to customers who abandoned their carts
• Share it via email, SMS, or messaging apps

You can pass the customer’s email directly in the Payment Link URL. By adding a GET parameter to the link, you can pre-fill the customer’s email on the Payment Link page. This feature provides several advantages:

• Automatically fill in the email field, reducing the risk of mismatched emails between your side and the customer’s.
• Tag purchases to the customer’s account, improving tracking and order management.
• Use project links for testing upsells on your site without extra effort.
• Share promotional links with discount offers to non-subscribers or customers from hard channels, while ensuring the email is automatically filled in.

To set the customer email, append the following GET parameter to your Payment Link URL:

• ?customerEmail=mail@example.com
