FAQs about payment links
If you'd like to learn more about how Epos Now can help your business, contact us or read our frequently asked questions.
- Are link payments tracked in my POS system?
-
Yes! When you create payment links, and your customers provide their payment details, your Epos Now POS system registers the transaction in the transaction report. It updates all your sales reporting accordingly, adjusting inventory, daily figures, and customer history. This gives you an internal reference that helps you stay on track with your finances and offers businesses a fast and flexible setup.
You can access your Pay by Link reports in your Back Office, in your main reporting section, and on the Payment page. The transaction data operates in real time, just like when you accept payments over the counter!
- How safe is Epos Now Pay By Link?
-
It's very safe. Epos Now pay link technology offers all the latest protection for a security-optimized checkout flow. It encrypts payment data from the bank account to the final collection. The payment link URL you send to customers has an expiration date and is single-use only, with strong customer authentication on the checkout pages.
Ultimately, Pay by Link is every bit as safe as other payments from credit and debit cards, and gives businesses simple sales from multiple customers from delivery to click & collect payments.
- What business types can benefit from link payments?
-
Most businesses can benefit from the flexible multichannel experience offered by remote payments. Pay by Link technology allows staff to share links electronically to someone, no matter where they are. Advanced booking for tickets? Use Pay by Link to finalise the sale. Left your card at home? That is no problem. Send trusted customers a link, and they can settle the amount quickly (the links have a short expiry).
From online to over-the-phone purchases, Epos Now's paylink merchant services have applications for hospitality and retail businesses of all kinds, offering businesses and customers a customizable experience. Therefore, if you're unsure whether or not you'll need it as a business owner, consider if you foresee yourself needing a practical way to take Payments when your customers aren't physically present with their cards at your kiosk.
