The Problem: NMI's Payment Link Capability Is Basic or Non-Existent
NMI is the gateway infrastructure behind hundreds of ISOs, resellers, and payment companies across the US. It's powerful under the hood — flexible APIs, multi-processor support, and solid tokenisation. But the merchant-facing experience is bare-bones. NMI doesn't offer a polished, branded payment link feature that merchants can use without developer help. ISOs end up losing merchants to competitors like Square who offer simple payment links out of the box, even though NMI's processing capabilities are far superior.
How Shuttle Payment Links Work with NMI
Shuttle connects to your NMI gateway and gives every merchant on your portfolio a branded payment link tool — no development work required. Transactions still process through NMI.
Connect your NMI gateway credentials to Shuttle (works with any NMI-powered reseller or ISO).
Create a payment link — set the amount, apply merchant branding, and configure accepted payment methods.
Share the link with customers via SMS, email, WhatsApp, or embed it on a website.
The customer clicks the link, sees a branded checkout page, and pays securely.
The payment processes through NMI on the merchant's existing processing setup. Track everything in Shuttle's dashboard.
NMI remains your gateway. Your processing relationships, rates, and settlement are unaffected. Shuttle simply adds a modern payment link front-end.
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 payment form.
Multiple payment methods — accept cards, digital wallets, and local payment methods through a single link. Customers choose how they want to pay.
Send anywhere — share payment links via SMS, email, WhatsApp, social media, QR codes, or embed them on your website. Meet your customers where they are.
Dashboard and reporting — track every payment link in real time. See who's paid, who hasn't, and export data for reconciliation with your NMI reports.
Recurring and partial payments — create payment links for deposits, instalments, or recurring charges. Flexible enough for any payment scenario.
No code required — create and send payment links from a simple dashboard. No developers, no API integration, no technical setup.
Who Uses Payment Links with NMI?
ISOs and resellers — offer branded payment links as a value-add to your merchant portfolio without building the feature yourself.
B2B merchants on NMI — send payment links for invoices instead of chasing checks or taking card numbers over the phone.
Service businesses — collect deposits, appointment fees, and final payments via text message.
SaaS platforms using NMI — give your sub-merchants a self-serve payment link tool branded to your platform.
Ecommerce merchants — handle phone orders, social media sales, and custom quotes with shareable payment links.
