Get Started →Payment Links for Fortis Merchants
Fortis is an integrated payments platform for software vendors, ISVs and B2B businesses in the United States and Canada. It pairs a merchant account with its own gateway, and it has its own payment link features, Paylink and Quick Invoice, for sending payment requests by text or email.
How Shuttle Links Checkout Works with Fortis
You don't need to replace Fortis. Shuttle connects to your own Fortis account with your API keys, so payments made through a Shuttle payment link are processed by Fortis. Shuttle Links Checkout works across the payment providers Shuttle supports, not just Fortis, so it suits you if you want one way to send links whichever supported provider you use.
Sign up for Shuttle, connect your Fortis account with your API keys, and add your logo and custom domain for your checkout pages.
Open the Merchant Portal and create a payment link. Set the amount and your own reference.
Copy the generated link and send it to your customer by email, SMS or any other channel.
Your customer receives the link, taps it on any device, and completes payment on your branded checkout page.
Follow the payment in the Merchant Portal's activity view.
Payments made through the link are processed through your own Fortis account, so there's nothing to migrate.
What You Get
Branded checkout pages: add your logo and custom domain in the Merchant Portal, so every payment link opens a checkout page that carries your brand.
Multiple payment methods: through the Fortis connection you can accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club and JCB, plus ACH bank debits in the US, depending on what is enabled on your Fortis account. Apple Pay and Google Pay are not supported through this integration.
Send anywhere: share payment links via email, SMS, social media or live chat. Copy the link and paste it into any channel your customers already use.
Dashboard and reporting: follow your payments in the Merchant Portal's activity view, alongside your Fortis reporting.
Amounts and references: create a payment link for the amount you need, with your own reference, all in the Merchant Portal.
No code required: create payment links from the Merchant Portal without writing code. If you want to automate link creation, links can also be created through the API.
Who Uses Payment Links with Fortis?
Software platforms that embed Fortis for in-app payments and want the same branded link for one-off charges alongside other providers.
Medical and dental practices: collecting patient balances, copays, or payment plan instalments without requiring patients to call or visit.
Field service businesses: sending payment links after completing jobs (plumbing, HVAC, landscaping) so customers can pay from their phone.
Property managers: collecting rent, maintenance fees, or security deposits from tenants via text or email payment links.
Membership organisations: sending dues renewal links or event registration payment links to members via email campaigns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to leave Fortis to use Shuttle payment links?
No. Shuttle connects to your existing Fortis account, so payments made through a Shuttle payment link are processed by Fortis. 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. You can follow each payment in the Merchant Portal's activity view.
I use Fortis through a software platform. Can I still use Shuttle?
It depends on whether you have your own Fortis account and API keys, because that is how Shuttle connects. If you do, you can use Shuttle Links Checkout alongside your platform. If your platform holds the Fortis account on your behalf, ask the platform, or contact the Shuttle team.
