Payment links let your customers pay quickly, without an online store or checkout. You can create them in two ways:
Manually in the Montonio Partner System. See how to create payment links in the Partner System.
Automatically through our API, which is useful for creating links in bulk. See how to create payment links via API.
Here are the most common ways to use them 👇
1. Invoices
Add a payment link to your invoices so customers don't have to copy bank details from a PDF. They click the link, choose a payment method (bank payment, card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.), and pay.
2. Prepayments and deposits
Need a deposit to confirm a booking or order? Send the customer a payment link for the exact amount. There's no need to add a separate product to your online store.
3. Abandoned carts
If a customer leaves before finishing their order, send them a payment link so they can complete the purchase later.
4. Sales through social media and marketplaces
Instead of sending bank details in a message, send a payment link. The customer can pay in seconds.
💡 Tip: If you use Montonio shipping contracts, customers can also choose a parcel machine when they pay. Learn more about shipping in payment links.
5. An alternative to card terminals
Every payment link has a QR code that customers can scan to pay with their phone. This works well at fairs, markets and pop-up events, where renting a card terminal may not be worth it.
6. Extra services after a purchase
Use payment links to charge for add-ons after the original purchase. For example:
Exchange for a pricier item: A customer wants to swap their order for a more expensive model. Send a link for the price difference.
Personalisation: A customer asks for engraving or gift wrapping after ordering. Send a link for the extra cost.
