The Problem: Cybersource Doesn't Do Payment Links Well
Cybersource, owned by Visa, is one of the most established payment gateways in the world. It powers enterprise e-commerce with APIs for payment processing, fraud management, and tokenisation. But Cybersource is built for developers. Every payment capability requires API integration, and there is no simple merchant-facing tool for creating and sending payment links. If you're a business that needs to email a customer a link to pay an invoice, Cybersource expects you to build that capability yourself — or hire someone who can.
How Shuttle Payment Links Work with Cybersource
You don't need to replace Cybersource. Shuttle sits alongside your existing setup and gives you a dedicated payment link capability that Cybersource doesn't offer natively.
Sign up for Shuttle — no developer required. Set up your branding in the dashboard in minutes.
Create a payment link: enter the amount, add a description or invoice reference, and choose an expiry date if needed.
Send the link however you want — email, SMS, chat, social media, or generate a QR code.
Your customer clicks the link and pays on a secure, branded checkout page. No Cybersource integration needed on their end.
View the payment in your Shuttle dashboard. Your existing Cybersource API integrations for e-commerce continue running separately.
Your Cybersource processing continues as normal. Shuttle handles the payment link checkout experience separately, so there's nothing to migrate and no disruption to your current operations.
What You Get
Branded checkout pages — every payment link opens a checkout page with your logo, colours, and business name. Your customers see your brand, not a generic processor page. This builds trust and keeps the experience consistent with Cybersource-processed transactions.
Multiple payment methods — accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and other card networks. Depending on your region, you can also enable local payment methods alongside your standard Cybersource card processing.
Send anywhere — share payment links via email, SMS, WhatsApp, social media, live chat, or QR code. Copy the link and paste it into any channel your customers already use.
Dashboard and reporting — track every payment link from creation to completion. See who paid, who hasn't, and send reminders. This complements your Cybersource reporting with payment link-specific analytics.
Recurring and partial payments — set up payment links for subscriptions, deposits, or instalments. Customers can pay a portion upfront and the rest later, all through the same branded link.
No code required — create and send payment links from the Shuttle dashboard without writing any code. If you want to automate link creation, there is also a full API available.
Who Uses Payment Links with Cybersource?
Enterprise finance teams — collecting outstanding invoice payments from clients without routing everything through the e-commerce checkout built on Cybersource.
Customer support departments — sending payment links during or after support calls to collect charges, fees, or replacement order payments.
Sales teams — sending payment links for proposals, quotes, or deposits without waiting for engineering to build a checkout flow.
Non-profit organisations — collecting donations via shareable links on social media, email campaigns, or at events without complex integrations.
Government and public sector — sending citizens payment links for permits, fees, fines, or service charges that don't fit into existing online portals.
Getting Started
Shuttle payment links are available on all plans. You can start with a free trial to test the checkout experience before going live. Pricing is transaction-based with no monthly minimums.
Setup takes less than 15 minutes. You create your Shuttle account, add your branding, and start generating payment links. There's no integration with Cybersource required because Shuttle processes payment link transactions independently.
If you're currently using Cybersource and need a way to send payment links to customers, get in touch with the Shuttle team. We'll walk you through the setup and have you sending branded checkout links the same day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to leave Cybersource to use Shuttle payment links?
No. Shuttle runs alongside Cybersource. You keep your existing Cybersource setup for everything it handles today, and use Shuttle specifically for payment links. There's no migration involved.
How do my customers pay through a payment link?
They click the link, land on your branded checkout page, enter their payment details, and pay. The experience works on any device — desktop, tablet, or mobile. No app download or account creation required.
Can I track which payment links have been paid?
Yes. The Shuttle dashboard shows real-time status for every link: created, viewed, paid, or expired. You can filter by date, amount, or customer, and export data for reconciliation.
Do I need my IT team or developers to set up Shuttle?
No. Shuttle is a no-code platform. You can create an account, configure your branding, and start sending payment links within minutes — no API integration, no developer time required.
