The Merchant's Guide to Secure Link-to-Pay
What Is Link-to-Pay?
Link-to-Pay lets merchants generate a secure, hosted payment page and share it via email, SMS, or WhatsApp. The customer clicks, enters their card details on a PCI-compliant page, and the merchant receives funds — no terminal, no invoice chasing.
Who Benefits Most
Service businesses — tradespeople, consultants, event vendors, mobile therapists — benefit most. If your customers aren't standing in front of you when they pay, Link-to-Pay eliminates the friction of collecting payment after the fact.
How Action Pay Does It Differently
Action Pay's Link-to-Pay links expire after 72 hours by default, include branding options, and settle within 24 hours. Each link is traceable — you see exactly when it was opened, when payment was made, and can resend with one click.
Most merchants evaluate a POS by its sticker price. But the real cost of the wrong payment system shows up in places that never appear on an invoice.
