That Card Machine Guy

Remote payments

Payment Links

Payment links make it easier to take card payments when the customer is not standing in front of you — for deposits, invoices, phone payments and service work.

The useful detail

Clear answers for busy business owners.

Get paid when the customer is not in front of you

Payment links let you send a secure card-payment request by text, email or message. Your customer opens the link and pays online, without you needing to read card details over the phone or wait for them to visit.

Useful for real businesses

They work well for deposits, invoices, over-the-phone payments and service businesses where the work happens away from a counter. A garage can take a booking deposit, a tradesperson can request payment after a job, and a club or venue can collect a balance remotely.

  • Vehicle deposits and remote handovers
  • Invoices and booking deposits
  • Over-the-phone payments without handling card details
  • Trades, appointments and service work

A payment link is part of the setup

The link is not a replacement for every terminal. It is another way to get paid when the customer is elsewhere. I look at how much remote payment you take, how quickly funds settle and whether the charges make sense alongside your card machine.

Keep it straightforward

You should know what the customer sees, how the payment is confirmed and what it costs your business. I can explain the options and help you decide whether links, a terminal, Tap to Pay or a mix is right for the way you work.

No pressure. Just a clearer view of what your payment setup is doing.
