Global Payments is one of the largest payment technology companies in the world, serving millions of merchants with POS systems, e-commerce gateways, and enterprise payment solutions. Global Payments does offer its own Pay by Link tool for sending payment requests by email, SMS, QR code and social media. But SMS delivery needs to be enabled by your Global Payments representative first, and the links live inside Global Payments' own dashboard and mobile app, separate from any other processor you run.

You don't need to replace Global Payments. Shuttle sits alongside your existing setup and gives you a payment link experience that works the same way across every processor you run, not just Global Payments' own Pay by Link tool.

  1. Create your Shuttle account and configure your checkout branding to match your existing Global Payments merchant experience.

  2. In the Shuttle Merchant Portal, create a new payment link with the amount, description, and any reference number you use.

  3. Share the link with your customer: copy it, email it, text it, or generate a QR code for in-person use.

  4. Your customer clicks through to a branded checkout page, enters their card details, and completes payment.

  5. The transaction appears in your Shuttle Merchant Portal. Your Global Payments processing for other channels continues unchanged.

Your Global Payments 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 Global Payments-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 Global Payments 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 and who hasn't. This complements your Global Payments reporting with payment link-specific analytics.

Deposits and one-off charges: create a payment link for any amount, from a small deposit to a full invoice.

No code required: create and send payment links from the Shuttle Merchant Portal without writing any code. If you want to automate link creation, there is also a full API available.

  • Enterprise accounts receivable teams: sending payment collection links for outstanding invoices instead of waiting for cheques or wire transfers.

  • Hospitality businesses: collecting deposits, no-show fees, or room upgrade charges from guests who aren't on-site.

  • B2B suppliers: sending payment links for purchase orders, making it easier for buyers to pay by card instead of managing bank transfers.

  • Healthcare providers: collecting patient balances, co-pays, or elective procedure deposits via secure payment links.

  • Professional services firms: collecting retainers, project deposits, or final invoices from clients without building a full e-commerce checkout.
