Modernise Receivables: How Accountants Use Shuttle Payment Links to Accelerate 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.

Modernise Receivables: How Accountants Use Shuttle Payment Links to Accelerate Cash Flow
