Overview

Smart Links are reusable, branded payment URLs designed for marketing campaigns, social media sharing, and QR code payments. Unlike dynamic payment page links that need to be generated each time, Smart Links provide a permanent, memorable URL that you can share anywhere.
Smart Links are perfect for social media campaigns, QR codes on flyers, email signatures, or any situation where you want a clean, memorable payment URL with analytics tracking.

Key Features

  • Pretty URLs: https://payrequest.me/[businessname]/[path]
  • QR Code Generation: Automatic QR code for every smart link
  • Analytics Tracking: View counts, payment counts, revenue, and conversion rates
  • Two Link Types: Product checkout or fixed amount payments
  • Payment Limits: One-time, multiple, or unlimited payment options
  • SMS & Email Delivery: Send links directly to customers via SMS or email
  • Payment Reminders: Automatic follow-up reminders for unpaid links
  • Tag Support: Organize smart links with tags for easy management
  • Active/Inactive Toggle: Quickly enable or disable links
  • After-Payment Actions: Redirect customers or update tags after successful payment
Navigate to Payment Page in your dashboard sidebar, then click the Smart Links tab.
Smart Links are available for all PayRequest accounts. The feature integrates seamlessly with your existing payment page setup.

URL Structure

Every smart link follows this format:
https://payrequest.me/[your-handle]/[path]
Example:
https://payrequest.me/acme-corp/summer-sale
  • [your-handle]: Your payment page handle or business name
  • [path]: Custom URL path (auto-generated from link name)
The path is automatically generated from your link name, but you can customize it when editing the smart link.
When creating a new smart link, first select the type: Product Link
  • Links directly to a specific product
  • Redirects to your shop’s product page
  • Best for: Product promotions, catalog links, shop items
Amount Link
  • Fixed payment amount
  • Renders directly on payment page (keeps smart link URL visible)
  • Best for: Donations, event tickets, service fees, deposits
Choose “Amount Link” for marketing campaigns where you want the branded URL to remain visible during checkout.
Required Fields:
  • Name: Descriptive name for the link (e.g., “Summer Sale Promotion”)
  • Type: Product or Amount
  • Product (for product links): Select from your product catalog
  • Amount & Currency (for amount links): Set fixed payment amount
Optional Fields:
  • Description: Public description shown to customers
  • Tags: Organize links by campaign, category, or purpose

Step 3: Set Payment Limit (Optional)

Control how many times your smart link can be used for payments: Unlimited (Default)
  • Link stays active indefinitely
  • Accepts unlimited payments
  • Best for: Ongoing campaigns, permanent donation links
One-time
  • Link automatically disables after the first successful payment
  • Prevents multiple uses
  • Best for: Individual invoices, one-time offers, exclusive deals
Multiple times
  • Set a custom limit (1-1000 payments)
  • Link disables when limit is reached
  • Shows remaining payment count in analytics
  • Best for: Limited inventory, early bird tickets, capacity-limited events
Payment limits are perfect for scarcity marketing. Show “Only 50 spots left!” and the link automatically disables at the limit.
How it works:
  1. Select payment limit type when creating the link
  2. For “Multiple times”, enter the maximum number of payments (1-1000)
  3. Smart link tracks successful payments automatically
  4. When limit is reached, customers see “Payment limit reached” message
  5. You can view remaining payments in the analytics dashboard
Payment limits only count successful (paid) transactions. Failed or pending payments don’t count toward the limit.

Step 4: Send to Customer (Optional)

Send the smart link directly to a customer via email or SMS: Delivery Options:
  1. Select Customer: Choose from your customer list
  2. Choose Delivery Method:
    • Email: Send to customer’s email address
    • SMS: Send to customer’s phone number (requires valid international format)
    • Both: Send via both email and SMS simultaneously
Email Delivery:
  • Uses your configured email template
  • Includes smart link URL
  • Professional branded message
  • Sent immediately upon creation
SMS Delivery:
  • Requires valid phone number (international format: +31612345678)
  • Sent via MessageBird
  • Personalized message with customer name
  • Includes shortened payment link
  • Sent from your business name
SMS delivery requires the customer to have a valid phone number in international format (starting with country code). Invalid numbers will disable the SMS option.
Tracking:
  • Delivery status shown on smart link detail page
  • Timestamp of when link was sent
  • Delivery method badges (Email/SMS)
Combine SMS and email delivery for important payment requests to ensure customers receive the link through their preferred channel.

Step 4b: Enable Payment Reminders (Optional)

Automatically send follow-up reminders to customers who haven’t paid yet. This feature appears when you select a delivery method (Email or SMS). Enabling Reminders:
  1. Select a customer and delivery method (Step 4)
  2. Check Enable Payment Reminders
  3. Configure reminder settings
Reminder Frequency Options:
  • Daily: Send a reminder every day
  • Every 2 days: Send reminder every other day
  • Every 3 days: Send reminder every third day
  • Weekly: Send one reminder per week
  • Monthly: Send one reminder per month
Maximum Reminders:
  • Set how many reminders to send (1-50)
  • Use the slider or input field to select
  • Reminders stop automatically when limit is reached
  • Reminders also stop when payment is completed
Payment reminders use the same delivery method(s) you selected for the initial send. If you chose Email + SMS, reminders will be sent via both channels.
How Reminders Work:
  1. Initial smart link is sent to customer
  2. If no payment received, first reminder sent based on frequency
  3. Reminders continue until:
    • Customer completes payment, OR
    • Maximum reminder limit is reached
Example Configuration:
Delivery Method: Email + SMS
Reminder Frequency: Every 2 days
Maximum Reminders: 5

Timeline:
Day 0: Initial link sent
Day 2: Reminder 1 (if unpaid)
Day 4: Reminder 2 (if unpaid)
Day 6: Reminder 3 (if unpaid)
Day 8: Reminder 4 (if unpaid)
Day 10: Reminder 5 (final reminder)
For urgent invoices, use “Daily” frequency with 3-5 reminders. For less urgent requests, use “Weekly” or “Monthly” with more reminders.
Tracking Reminders: When editing a smart link with reminders enabled, you’ll see:
  • Number of reminders sent vs. limit
  • Next scheduled reminder date
  • Reminder status
Reminders are only available when sending to a specific customer via delivery methods. They cannot be enabled for links shared publicly without a customer association.

Step 5: Save and Share

After creating your smart link:
  1. Copy the generated URL
  2. Download the QR code
  3. Share via social media, email, or print materials

QR Code Integration

Every smart link automatically generates a QR code.

Downloading QR Codes

  1. Open smart link detail page
  2. Right-click QR code image
  3. Save image (200x200px PNG)

QR Code Best Practices

Print Quality:
  • Use vector format for large prints
  • Minimum size: 2cm × 2cm
  • Ensure high contrast (black on white)
Placement Ideas:
  • Business cards
  • Flyers and posters
  • Table tents
  • Product packaging
  • Email signatures
  • Invoice footers
Always test QR codes after printing to ensure they scan correctly on different devices.

After-Payment Actions

Configure what happens after customers complete payment. Smart Links support three types of after-payment actions that can be combined:

1. Redirect Option

Setting Location: Smart Link Edit → After Payment Actions → Redirect Action Redirect URL: Enter a full URL to redirect customers after successful payment. Common redirect destinations:
  • Thank you page: https://yourdomain.com/thank-you
  • Discount code page: https://yourdomain.com/special-offer
  • Download link: https://yourdomain.com/download/guide.pdf
  • Member portal: https://yourdomain.com/welcome
Example:
After payment redirect: https://fitnessstudio.com/welcome?promo=early-bird
Use redirect URLs to provide immediate value: discount codes, exclusive content, or onboarding instructions.

2. Apply Tag to Customer

Automatically add a tag to the customer when they complete payment through this smart link. Setting Location: Smart Link Create/Edit → After Payment Actions → Apply Tag to Customer
This option only appears when you select a customer in “Send smart payment link to customer”. Customer tags are designed for targeted customer-specific smart links.
How it works:
  1. Select a customer to send the smart link to
  2. Choose a Customer-type tag from the “Apply Tag to Customer” dropdown
  3. When the customer completes payment, the tag is automatically added to their profile
Use cases:
ScenarioTag to ApplyResult
Promotion payment”2025 Promo Buyer”Track who bought via promotions
VIP upgrade offer”VIP Customer”Auto-upgrade customer status
Loyalty program”Loyalty Member”Enroll in loyalty program
Course purchase”Course Participant”Grant course access
Event registration”Event Attendee 2025”Track event participants
Example Workflow:
Smart Link: Early Bird Conference Ticket
Customer: [email protected]
Apply Tag: "Conference 2025 Attendee"

→ John pays via the smart link
→ "Conference 2025 Attendee" tag automatically added to his profile
→ Filter all attendees by this tag for event communications
Combine “Apply Tag” with email automations to trigger welcome sequences when customers receive specific tags.

3. Remove Tag from Customer

Automatically remove a tag from the customer when they complete payment. The dropdown shows only tags that the customer currently has. Setting Location: Smart Link Create/Edit → After Payment Actions → Remove Tag from Customer
The “Remove Tag” dropdown dynamically shows:
  • Tags the customer currently has
  • Plus: any tag selected in “Apply Tag” (since it will be added)
If the customer has no tags, you’ll see “This customer has no tags to remove”.
How it works:
  1. Select a customer to send the smart link to
  2. Choose a tag from “Remove Tag from Customer” (shows only customer’s existing tags)
  3. When payment completes, the tag is automatically removed from their profile
Use cases:
ScenarioTag to RemoveResult
Payment reminder”Overdue Payment”Clear overdue status
Trial conversion”Trial User”Remove trial status
Upgrade payment”Basic Plan”Remove old plan tag
Renewal”Renewal Due”Clear renewal reminder
Debt collection”Payment Pending”Mark as paid
Example Workflow:
Smart Link: Outstanding Invoice Payment
Customer: [email protected]
Remove Tag: "Overdue Payment"
Apply Tag: "Paid Customer"

→ Sarah pays her overdue invoice via the smart link
→ "Overdue Payment" tag automatically removed
→ "Paid Customer" tag automatically added
→ Customer status updated in one action
The “Remove Tag” dropdown only shows tags the customer actually has. If you don’t see a tag, the customer doesn’t have it assigned.

Combining All Three Actions

You can use all three after-payment actions together for powerful automation: Complete Example:
Smart Link: VIP Membership Upgrade
Customer: [email protected]
Redirect: https://yourdomain.com/vip-welcome
Apply Tag: "VIP Member"
Remove Tag: "Standard Member"

Result after payment:
✅ Customer redirected to VIP welcome page
✅ "VIP Member" tag added to profile
✅ "Standard Member" tag removed from profile
This combination is perfect for upgrade flows, trial conversions, and membership tier changes where you need to update customer status and provide immediate next steps.

Tags and Organization

Organize smart links using the tag system. Smart Links support two types of tags:
  1. Smart Link Tags: Organize your smart links by campaign, channel, or purpose
  2. Customer Tags: Automatically applied/removed from customers after payment (see After-Payment Actions)

Creating Tags Inline

When creating or editing a smart link, you can create new tags directly without leaving the form:
  1. Scroll to the Smart Link Tags section
  2. Click Create New Tag
  3. Enter a tag name
  4. Select a color from the color picker
  5. Click Create Tag
The new tag is immediately available and selected.
Inline tag creation saves time when setting up campaigns. No need to navigate to the Tags page first.
From the smart link detail page:
  1. Click the pencil icon next to “Tags” in the sidebar
  2. The tag management modal opens
  3. Select or deselect tags using the searchable dropdown
  4. Create new tags inline if needed
  5. Click Save Tags

Tag Use Cases

By Campaign:
  • “Summer 2025”
  • “Black Friday”
  • “Newsletter Campaign”
By Channel:
  • “Social Media”
  • “Email”
  • “Print Materials”
By Purpose:
  • “Donations”
  • “Event Tickets”
  • “Product Sales”

Filtering by Tags

In the Smart Links list:
  1. Click Tag Filter dropdown
  2. Select one or more tags
  3. View only matching smart links

Technical Details

URL Routing

Smart links use intelligent routing:
  1. Amount routes match numeric values: /[handle]/12.50
  2. Smart link routes match alphabetic paths: /[handle]/campaign-name
  3. Default payment page: /[handle]
Smart link paths must start with a letter (not a number) to avoid conflicts with amount-based payment links.

Payment Page Customization

When accessed via smart link, the payment page shows: Custom Content:
  • Title: Smart link name (instead of payment page title)
  • Description: Smart link description (instead of default)
  • Amount: Pre-filled and disabled (amount links only)
Hidden Elements:
  • Minimum/maximum amount text
  • Amount field editing (for amount links)

Session Tracking

Smart links use session-based tracking: Data stored:
  • Smart link ID
  • Link name and description
  • Fixed amount (for amount links)
  • Original path
Payment attribution:
  • Session persists through checkout
  • Payment webhook links transaction to smart link
  • Analytics update automatically

Security Best Practices

✅ Do’s

  • Use descriptive paths that indicate the purpose
  • Monitor analytics for unusual activity
  • Deactivate old campaigns to prevent confusion
  • Test links before launching campaigns
  • Use tags to track campaign performance
  • Set after-payment redirects for better customer experience

❌ Don’ts

  • Don’t use paths that could be guessed (avoid “test”, “temp”)
  • Don’t share inactive links (they’ll return 404)
  • Don’t change paths during active campaigns (breaks existing shares)
  • Don’t delete links with important analytics history
  • Don’t use generic names like “link1”, “payment2”

Troubleshooting

Causes:
  1. Link is inactive (check status badge)
  2. Path was changed recently
  3. Business handle doesn’t match
  4. Link was deleted
Solutions:
  • Verify link is Active in smart links list
  • Check path spelling (case-sensitive)
  • Confirm business handle in Settings → Payment Page

Analytics Not Updating

Check:
  1. Payment completed successfully (check Transactions)
  2. Customer paid within same session (session timeout = 2 hours)
  3. Smart link ID appears in transaction details
Manual verification: Navigate to transaction detail page and check “Smart Link” field.

QR Code Not Scanning

Fixes:
  1. Increase QR code size (minimum 2cm × 2cm for print)
  2. Ensure high contrast (black QR on white background)
  3. Test with multiple QR scanner apps
  4. Regenerate QR code if image is corrupted

Wrong Amount Showing

For Amount Links:
  • Amount is fixed based on smart link configuration
  • Edit smart link to change amount
  • Clear browser cache and revisit URL

Payment Page Shows Wrong Title

Cause: Session data not loading correctly Fix:
  1. Clear browser cookies
  2. Open link in incognito/private mode
  3. Verify smart link description is set

Frequently Asked Questions

Analytics are stored permanently for the lifetime of your smart link. Even if you deactivate a link, historical data remains accessible.
Payment limits control how many successful payments a smart link can accept:
  • One-time: Link disables after first payment
  • Multiple: Set custom limit (1-1000), link disables when reached
  • Unlimited: Default, accepts infinite payments
Only successful (paid) transactions count toward the limit. Failed or pending payments are not counted. When the limit is reached, customers see “Payment limit reached” and cannot complete payment.
When a smart link reaches its payment limit:
  1. Link automatically becomes inactive
  2. Customers see “Payment limit reached” error message
  3. No more payments can be accepted
  4. Analytics show “Limit reached” badge in red
  5. You can reactivate by editing the link and increasing the limit
All existing analytics data is preserved when the limit is reached.
When you select a customer to send a smart link to, two additional options appear:
  • Apply Tag to Customer: Adds a Customer-type tag to the customer’s profile after payment
  • Remove Tag from Customer: Removes an existing tag from the customer after payment
Both actions are optional and can be combined. For example, you can remove “Trial User” and add “Paid Customer” in one payment action.
The customer tag action fields only appear when you:
  1. Select a customer in “Send smart payment link to customer”
  2. The tag dropdowns then become visible
These features are designed for targeted, customer-specific payment links where you want to automate customer status updates.
The “Remove Tag from Customer” dropdown is smart - it only shows:
  • Tags that the selected customer currently has
  • Plus any tag you’ve selected in “Apply Tag” (since it will be added)
This prevents confusion and ensures you can only remove tags the customer actually has. If the customer has no tags, you’ll see “This customer has no tags to remove”.
Payment reminders automatically send follow-up messages to customers who haven’t paid:
  1. Enable reminders when sending a smart link to a customer
  2. Choose frequency: Daily, Every 2 days, Every 3 days, Weekly, or Monthly
  3. Set maximum reminders (1-50)
  4. Reminders are sent via the same method(s) as the original link (Email/SMS)
Reminders automatically stop when the customer pays or when the maximum limit is reached.
Payment reminders only appear when:
  1. You select a customer in “Send smart payment link to customer”
  2. You select at least one delivery method (Email or SMS)
Reminders require a customer association because they need somewhere to send the follow-up messages. Public smart links without a customer cannot have reminders.
When a customer completes payment through the smart link:
  • All scheduled reminders are automatically cancelled
  • No more reminders will be sent
  • The reminder status shows as complete
This prevents customers from receiving unnecessary payment reminders after they’ve already paid.
Every time someone opens your smart link, the following is recorded:
  • Timestamp: Exact date and time of the visit
  • IP Address: Visitor’s IP (automatically masked for privacy: last octet hidden)
  • Browser/OS: Detected from user agent (e.g., “Chrome / Windows”, “Safari / iOS”)
  • Referer: The URL the visitor came from (if available)
This data helps you understand when and how people access your payment links. All IP addresses are masked to protect visitor privacy.
The activity section on the smart link detail page has four tabs:
  • All: Combined view of all activity types (views, payments, reminders, sent events)
  • Views: Paginated list of all detailed view records with IP, browser, and timestamp
  • Payments: Paginated list of all payments with customer name, amount, and status
  • Reminders: Reminder settings summary and sent/scheduled reminder events
Each tab updates in real-time as new activity occurs. Views and Payments tabs support pagination (10 items per page).
