How does an additional payment link work and where do I generate it?

Did your customers fail to pay through the payment gateway at the first attempt? Let them pay via a payment link.


​

How to do it

You generate a link for a failed payment in your business account.

1. Go to the Extra tab and click Payment button.

The inputs for generating a payment button / link will be displayed.

2. Set the following parameters:

  • the e-shop you want to create the payment button / link for.

  • the amount you want to create the payment for.

  • the currency the payment should be paid in.

  • a description of the goods or service.

  • the order ID.

  • the URL of the page the customer will return to after making the payment (e.g. the homepage).

  • the URL of the page the customer will return to after cancelling the payment (this can also be the homepage, for example).

3. Then click the Generate button.

​Two generated links will be displayed.

  • An HTML link (can be used to place a payment button on a website).

  • A URL link


​
4. Please send the URL you have copied to the customer.

How long is the payment link valid?

Until the customer opens the link it is valid indefinitely.
​
Once the customer opens the link, however, a payment is created which has a lifetime of one hour until a payment method is selected. A new payment is created each time the link is opened.

The status of a payment paid this way will not appear in your e-shop administration – check it manually in the GoPay business account. For this type of payment there is no HTTP notification informing you of the change to a final state.
