Get Paid Faster: How IT Services Firms Use Shuttle Payment Links to Improve Cash Flow

Flexible

Our Payment Links are different

Shuttle Payment Links are not limited like others. We recognise that businesses need flexibility and control to improve their payment collection processes. Our payment links are not tied to any one payment provider, they can let the customer define the amount or you can be very specific about what and how much they’re for.

Use your Payment Gateway

Connect from 30+ Payment Providers. This means you can use your preferred provider with the rates that you have agreed. No more 5% fees just because you’re using a hosted solution that doesn’t support your preferred payment gateway.

Use Multiple Payment Gateways/Methods

Get paid via PayPal, Buy Now Pay Later, Financing or Bank to Bank. Payment links that are from your payment provider are limited to that provider and their features.

Not tied to any product, invoice or amount

Use one link for everything or organise your links by creating many for each use case. Other providers make you create a product or invoice just so you can create a payment link. That’s missing the point.

Pre-authorize, capture payment or save a card

Take a payment now or just authorize the card or save the payment method for later. Other payment link products don’t empower the seller, they are merely designed for a simple use case.

Get Paid Faster: How IT Services Firms Use Shuttle Payment Links to Improve Cash Flow

In the fast-paced world of IT professional services, time is money—and delays in getting paid can disrupt everything from project timelines to team morale. Whether you’re delivering consulting, systems integration, software development, or support, there’s one part of the process that often causes friction: getting paid on time.

Enter Shuttle Payment Links—a simple, flexible solution that helps IT firms streamline client payments and take control of their cash flow.

Why Traditional Invoicing Slows IT Firms Down

Most IT services companies rely on standard invoicing workflows: send an invoice, wait 30 days, send a reminder, wait another 15 days, and maybe follow up with a phone call. This cycle isn’t just tedious—it ties up working capital, delays hiring decisions, and increases your operational risk.

Key challenges include:

  • Delayed payments from enterprise and SME clients

  • Manual chasing of invoices by your finance or ops team

  • Multiple payment methods that confuse or slow clients down

  • Cash flow uncertainty making it harder to scale delivery teams

These aren’t just annoyances—they’re real barriers to growth.

Shuttle Payment Links: Fast, Frictionless, Client-Friendly

Shuttle Payment Links turn any invoice into a simple, actionable payment experience. Instead of waiting for clients to log into a portal or initiate a bank transfer, you simply include a unique, secure link with your invoice or email. Your client clicks the link, completes payment in seconds, and gets a receipt. No registration, no confusion.

Key Benefits for IT Firms:

  • 💸 Faster payments – Get paid in hours, not weeks

  • 🧾 Simple invoicing – Add links directly to PDF or email invoices

  • 🔄 Automated reminders – Optional follow-ups to reduce chasing

  • 🔐 Secure payments – PCI-compliant and trusted by clients

  • 🌐 No portals or apps – Frictionless UX, even for non-technical clients

Real-World Scenarios

Here’s how IT services firms use Shuttle to reduce admin and get paid:

  • Project deposits: Add a payment link to your Statement of Work

  • Milestone billing: Include a link in every milestone invoice

  • Ongoing retainers: Send monthly links by email or SMS

  • Ad hoc support: Bill for time or tickets with a one-click payment link

This flexibility is especially powerful for firms working with both SMEs and enterprise clients who value convenience and clarity.

Implementation is Seamless

You don’t need to overhaul your accounting system. Shuttle integrates smoothly with your existing workflows. Use your own branding, link to your preferred payment processor (Stripe, Square, etc.), and start sending links within minutes.
