Create a payment link

Updated

Create a payment link (0:25)

A payment link is a one-off link for a set amount, made for one customer. Use it when you sell through WhatsApp, Facebook or other chats and do not need a full payment form.

You need a connected Bayarcash account to collect real payments. In Test Mode you can create links straight away to try it out. Once you turn Test Mode off, the Payment Link form is locked until BCL has your token and secret key. See Connect your Bayarcash account.

Create the link from any page in the dashboard:

  1. Click Quick Actions at the top right of the dashboard.

  2. Under Collect payment, click Payment Link.

    The Quick Actions menu with Payment Link highlighted under Collect payment

  3. Fill in Buyer Name, Amount (RM), Buyer Email and Buyer Mobile Number. All four are required.

  4. In Portal Key, choose the Bayarcash portal that receives the payment. See Choose a Bayarcash portal key.

  5. Once a portal is chosen, Let user choose payment method appears. Leave it on to let your customer pick a channel, or turn it off and choose one in Payment Option.

    The Payment Link form filled in, with the Let user choose payment method switch highlighted

  6. Optionally, add a note in Remark Order.

  7. Click Submit.

When the link is ready, the Share Payment Link window opens:

  1. Click the blue copy button at the end of the link.

    The Share Payment Link window with the link and its copy button highlighted, above the Twitter, Facebook and WhatsApp buttons

  2. Paste the link into your chat with the customer, or click Twitter, Facebook or WhatsApp to share it directly.

The link stays valid for up to 3 months. When your customer pays, the payment shows in Transactions.

Common issues

Why can't I fill in the Payment Link form?

The form stays locked until BCL has your Bayarcash token and secret key, or Test Mode is on. Connect your Bayarcash account first, then open Quick Actions → Payment Link again.

How long does a payment link stay valid?

A payment link stays valid for up to 3 months after you create it.

Can I choose the payment method for my customer?

Yes. Turn off Let user choose payment method and pick one in Payment Option. Leave it on to let your customer choose from the channels your portal supports.
