Overview of Zuora Payment Link

The Payment Link feature in Zuora allows you to generate and share payment links for invoices, enabling secure and convenient payment collection across multiple channels without coding. It supports various payment methods and offers localization options.

The Payment Link feature allows you to share payment links with your customers to collect payments. You can define a default payment link template for your tenant without the need for coding. Zuora uses this template to generate hosted payment pages and payment links for invoices that are posted after the Payment Link feature is enabled on your tenant. You can share the payment link of an invoice across multiple channels, such as invoice documents, emails, and text messages.

For Apple Pay and Google Pay, collecting payment method information and processing payments are not supported through the Payment Link solution. To build checkout experiences for these payment methods, set up Apple Pay or Google Pay through the JavaScript SDK integration or the Payment Form solution. See Set up Google Pay or Set up Apple Pay for more information.

The Payment Link feature allows you to generate payment links for invoices and share the links with your customers to collect payments in a PCI-compliant manner. This article provides an overview of the Payment Link feature. For detailed instructions on how to enable and use this feature, see Enable the Payment Link feature and Generate and share payment links .

Introduction

A payment link generated by Zuora is a URL that you can share with your customers to complete a one-time payment. When your customer clicks a payment link, an invoice payment page hosted in Zuora opens to accept the payment.
