The AndDone Payments Portal provides two distinct ways to request and collect payments: Payment Links and the Anytime Payment Link. Understanding the difference between these options helps you select the most efficient and secure method for your business and your clients.
This article explains how each link type functions, their unique benefits, and includes resources for step-by-step instructions.
Payment Links
What is a Payment Link?
A Payment Link is a unique, client-specific URL created for an individual transaction.
When generating a Payment Link, you (the merchant) will need to prefill important payment details ahead of time, such as: - Payment amount, Purpose of payment, Reference (e.g., invoice or account number)
Once your client completes the payment the link cannot be reused. This adds an additional layer of security and streamlines your receivables process.
When to Use a Payment Link?
Use Payment Links when you need to request a payment for a specific invoice, policy, or account, and want to control the information (like amount & reference) provided on the payment link for your client.

When client (your shopper) receive an Anytime Payment link they will need to manually enter the payment amount, and provide a reference, such as a policy number, account number, or invoice number.
