A Quick Link is the fastest and most convenient way to get paid by your customers. Its the same Safepay experience for your customer but without having integrated Safepay Checkout on your website.

A Quick Link is a request for payment in the form of a unique link you generate and send to a customer anywhere and at any time. Share the generated link through email, Whatsapp or even Instagram.

When the link is clicked, your customer is taken to Safepay’s secure hosted page that details how much money you are requesting and for what purpose. The customer can make a payment with Safepay using their bank account or mobile wallet. 

Following a successful payment, you and your customer will receive email notifications that the transaction has been authorized. As with the normal Safepay Checkout, following a successful transaction the funds will reach your linked bank account you according to this settlement timeline.

  • From your Merchant Dashboard click Invoices, and then click Quick Links (see below).

  • Click on the blue button on the Quick Links page. 

  • A pop up window for the creation of a Quick Link will open (this has now been updated to allow for delivery to up to 10 customers. You can create quicklinks in PKR and USD. Please make sure quick link amount is above PKR 1.
  • You can also choose to add an expiration date on the quick link. This will render the quicklink as invalid if the expiration date has passed and you will have to create a new quicklink.

Please note 

Safepay does not currently reconcile with your internal invoicing system. We recommend that you record as much information in the additional notes section of each Quick Link. This is so that you are able to reconcile payments made to you through Quick Links and your internal invoice generation procedures. 

Information such as customer name, date, order reference number and details of products or services provided will not only help you keep track of different payments, it will give your customers confidence that they are actually paying you 🙂.

  • Now you’re all set to proceed to send the Quick Link for payment to your customer. You can copy the quicklink and send it to your customer by clicking on the copy icon or you can click on the open icon to pay internally.

  • As long as your customer has not paid you, you are easily able to update the Quick Link. Clicking the three dots next to the Quick Link will allow you to update the amount you are requesting to be paid by your customer. You are only able to  update the Quick Link as long as its status is created. Once payment has been processed you won’t be able to make any changes. The link also remains the same so no need to resend another link to your customer. The link they have received will be automatically updated. 

  • Send the link through email, Whatsapp or even Instagram. As long as your customer can click on the Quick Link in a web environment, they can access the Quick Link to pay you. See below to see how your customer will view the link when they receive it on Whatsapp.

Important to note

Always send a Quick Link to your customer through a secure medium. All Quick Links are encrypted and all information contained therein is secure. You should only send the Quick Link to the relevant customer who needs to pay you. The customer will receive the Quick Link through the medium you have chosen.

  • Clicking the link will take your customer to the Safepay Checkout page
  • Your customer can now easily pay you using Safepay Checkout. They will see a pop-up through which they are able to choose their preferred method of payment
  • Once the payment is processed you, and your customer, will receive an email notification from Safepay. You can check the updated status of the Quick Link on your Quick Link dashboard. Click on payment to view details of the transaction. The payment details page will show complete details of the transaction as shown below.

  • You can now send separate Quick Links to your customers directly through email. This means that if you are charging a number of customers the same amount, you can just generate a Quick Link once and send these to up to 10 of your customers. This saves you time instead of having to individually generate separate Quick Links and send these one by one through email.
  • You can choose to send unique links (charging the same amount) to up to 10 different email addresses. Once you have created and sent these links, you will be re-directed to your Quick Links dashboard.
