Payment Links feature in Synder

 If you want to receive instant payments from your clients and automate your books, the Payment Links feature can be a real helper on this. You just need to generate a link and send it via email to your clients or insert it on your website/social network. This will turn your Instagram profile, or a Facebook page, or a WhatsApp group into a sales channel.

   Let’s say you sell pillows and have an Instagram account. You can insert a generated in the software link on your Instagram. So, to purchase a pillow your clients just need to follow the link and pay with a credit card. As a result, you get a payment in Stripe or Square and Synder creates a Sales Receipt along with expenses for Stripe and Synder fees in your QuickBooks automatically.

Note: for Synder Accounting users only. Sign up to Synder accounting to use the upgraded version of payment links. If you are a user of Synder with third party accounting platforms, please check out this guide on Payment links.

How to help your customers pay for your services?

First of all, make sure you have connected your Stripe or Square accounts to Synder, this will give you the opportunity to send the link to your customers to pay you.

Make sure that you have switched to the needed Organization in the top-left corner of the Synder page (if you have more than one).

To enable this feature, please go to the Sales tab (1) and choose Payment Links (2).

   After that, you need to Сreate a Payment link itself (3). Follow these simple steps described below:

5. Amount – you will have 2 options to choose from:

• Fixed – Your customers will pay a fixed price. That’s very useful for online shopping. (i. e. your Instagram account);

• Open – Amount to specify is up to the user.

6. Customer notes – if you put a tick mark in front of the option Allow notes, your customers will have an opportunity to add notes to payment.  It is very useful if the user needs to specify something. (i.e. color or size of the product). 

7. Address – if you put a tick mark in front of the option Add address, your customers will have an opportunity to specify their billing address if needed.
