See Links Checkout →The Problem: QuickBooks Payment Links Are Locked to QuickBooks
QuickBooks Online already has its own Payment Links feature: you can generate a link without creating an invoice first, and the customer pays by card or ACH. But it only works if you process through QuickBooks Payments, it's created one at a time inside the QuickBooks interface, and there's no automatic SMS or WhatsApp send, no custom domain, and no shared view if you ever add a second payment processor.
How Shuttle Links Checkout Works with QuickBooks Payments
Shuttle gives QuickBooks Payments merchants a standalone payment link tool. Use QuickBooks for your accounting and invoicing, and use Shuttle when you need to send a quick payment link through any channel.
Sign up for Shuttle and connect your payment processing account.
Create a payment link: set the amount, add your business branding, and include a reference number that matches your QuickBooks records.
Send the link via SMS, WhatsApp, chat, social media, or email, wherever your customer prefers.
Your customer clicks the link, sees a branded checkout page, and pays.
See the payment in Shuttle's Merchant Portal. Match it to your QuickBooks records using the reference number.
Keep using QuickBooks for accounting and invoicing as usual. Shuttle handles the payment link scenarios QuickBooks's own tool doesn't cover, like automatic SMS and WhatsApp sending and a custom domain. It's a complement, not a replacement.
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 and ACH bank debit through a single link.
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 QuickBooks Payments reports.
Multiple link types: create multi-use links, one-time links, or time-based expiring links, whatever the scenario calls for.
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 QuickBooks Payments?
Small business owners: send payment links for quick sales, deposits, and service charges without creating a full QuickBooks invoice.
Contractors and freelancers: text a payment link to a client on-site instead of emailing an invoice and waiting.
Service-based businesses: collect deposits and session fees before appointments via SMS or WhatsApp.
Home improvement: send a payment link when the job is complete so the customer can pay before you leave.
Event planners and caterers: collect deposits and milestone payments via shareable links.
