You will have noticed on your Smart App that you don\u2019t just have to take card payments to get paid for the work you do \u2013 you can even record cash payments in the app so you can track what your customers are paying. You can also offer Paylink as a payment option to your customers. But how does it work?
\n<\/p>\n

Paylinks make it easy for you and your customers<\/h4>\n

A Paylink is a link that your customer can click on in an email to pay their invoice online. Click on \u2018Get Paid\u2019 or tap on \u2018Take Full Payment\u2019 or \u2018Part Payment\u2019 and choose the amount for the payment, then you\u2019ll see that you can select \u2018Card Payment\u2019, \u2018Cash\u2019 or \u2018Paylink\u2019:<\/p>\n

\"598-paylinks\"<\/p>\n

Customers receive a personalised email<\/h4>\n

When you send the Paylink, the Smart App or Smart Dashboard sends an email to the customer asking them to pay their invoice:<\/p>\n

\"paylinksemail\"<\/p>\n

Reassure customers that their money is safe<\/h4>\n

Then all they have to do is click the big blue \u2018Pay My Invoice\u2019 button, and they can enter their card details themselves in the secure web form. <\/p>\n

\"paylink-2\"<\/p>\n

You will get a notification when your customer has paid their invoice. That\u2019s it!<\/p>\n

Sending a Paylink is a great way to reassure customers who are concerned about paying by card on your Smart App. It\u2019s also handy when you finish a job and the customer isn\u2019t there to make a payment on site. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve created tutorial videos<\/a> for how to send Paylinks using the Smart App and Smart Dashboard. Just login to your QPro account and click on the \u2018Tutorials\u2019 tab on the left hand side.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
