A payment link, also referred to as a Request to Pay, is an easy way to request a one-time payment from a customer. Payment links can be created directly in the Twikey interface, imported via CSV, or generated through the API.

You can also use payment links within Twikey's smart failure management system to recover payments from failed Direct Debit or Recurring Credit Card transactions by sending a link via email or SMS.

Requirements

Payment links require that the corresponding payment method is activated in Twikey.

Navigate to Payment links in the left-hand navigation menu to open the overview.

The overview is divided into three areas:

  • Search bar and filters — find and narrow down payment links.
  • Utility buttons — create, send, import, export, and archive.
  • Payment link list — the results based on your current search and filter settings.

Search bar and filters

Use the search bar to find a specific payment link. Use the filters to narrow the list by state, customer, amount, or other attributes.

  • (1) Standard preset filter — quick filter by common states (see below).
  • (2) Advanced filter — filter by specific attributes (see below).
  • (3) Search bar — search by payment link ID or customer.
  • (4) Active filters — shows which filters are currently applied. Click Add filter to add more.
You can apply multiple filters at once. The date range filter is always required.

Standard preset filter

  • Unclicked — payment links not yet opened by the customer.
  • Clicked — payment links that have been opened.
  • Paid — payment links that have been paid.
  • Expired — payment links that have passed their expiry date.
  • Archived — payment links that have been archived.

Advanced filter

Use the advanced filter to narrow results by specific attributes.

  • (1) Search — search for an attribute by name.
  • (2) ID — filter by payment link ID. The ID is shown in the leftmost column of the list.
