The Problem
Stripe has its own Payment Links product. On paper that sounds like it solves the problem. In practice, it leaves merchants wanting more.
Stripe's payment links are locked to Stripe's template. You can add your logo, but you can't fully brand the checkout page to match your website. The link looks like Stripe — not your business. For merchants selling premium services or running a professional operation, that matters.
Then there's distribution. Stripe gives you a URL. That's it. You copy it, paste it into an email, and hope for the best. There's no native SMS sending. No way to push a link through a chat channel. No tracking to see whether the customer opened the link, viewed the checkout page, or abandoned before paying.
Merchants shouldn't have to leave Stripe to fix this. Their rates are negotiated, their reconciliation is set up, and their finance team knows the Stripe Dashboard. What they need is a better payment links layer — on top of Stripe.
How Payment Links Work with Stripe
Shuttle connects to your Stripe account via OAuth. No API keys to manage, no developer involvement. You authorise the connection, and Shuttle can process payments through your existing Stripe account.
Once connected, creating a payment link takes seconds. Set the amount, add a reference, customise the checkout page with your brand, and choose how to send it — SMS, email, or chat. The customer clicks, pays on a branded page, and the money lands in your Stripe account exactly as it would with any other Stripe transaction.
Settlement, reporting, and reconciliation don't change. Shuttle sits on top of Stripe — it doesn't replace it.
Connect your Stripe account via OAuth — takes under two minutes.
Create a payment link in the Shuttle dashboard. Set the amount, currency, and reference.
Customise the checkout page with your logo, brand colours, and messaging.
Send the link via SMS, email, or chat — directly from the dashboard.
Customer pays on a branded checkout page. Funds settle to your Stripe account as normal.
