USAePay is a reliable US payment gateway that's been around for decades, popular with merchants who need virtual terminal access and terminal-based processing.
How Shuttle Links Checkout Works with USAePay
Shuttle connects to your USAePay gateway and gives you a payment link capability. Transactions still process through USAePay: Shuttle just provides the customer-facing checkout experience.
Connect your USAePay gateway to Shuttle using your source key and PIN.
Create a payment link in Shuttle's Merchant Portal: set the dollar amount, apply your branding, and choose accepted card types.
Send the link to your customer via SMS, email, or any messaging channel.
Your customer clicks the link, sees your branded checkout page, and enters their card details securely.
The payment processes through USAePay on your existing merchant account. View it in Shuttle's Merchant Portal and your USAePay console.
Nothing changes on the USAePay side. Your rates, batch settlement, and reporting all work exactly as before. Shuttle simply adds a new way to initiate payments.
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 Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover through a single link. Customers choose how they want to pay.
Send anywhere: share payment links via SMS, email, social media, 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 USAePay reports.
Multi-use and single-use links: create one reusable link that can be paid by the same or different customers more than once, or generate single-use links through the API for one-off invoices.
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 USAePay?
B2B suppliers and wholesalers: send payment links for invoices instead of chasing checks or keying in card numbers.
Medical and dental offices: collect patient copays, outstanding balances, and procedure deposits via link.
Auto repair shops: send a payment link when the job is done so customers can pay before pickup.
Legal and accounting firms: collect retainers and invoice payments without taking card numbers over the phone.
Field service companies: send payment links on the spot for HVAC, plumbing, or electrical work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to leave USAePay?
No. Shuttle is an add-on to your existing USAePay gateway. All transactions process through USAePay using your current merchant account, rates, and settlement schedule.
Is this more secure than the virtual terminal?
Yes. With Shuttle payment links, your customer enters their card data on a hosted checkout page. Card numbers never pass through your systems or staff, which keeps your PCI scope limited.
Can I use this for recurring payments?
Not as a dedicated recurring-billing feature. You can create a reusable multi-use link that customers pay more than once, or generate single-use links through the API for each deposit or instalment.
What if I already use USAePay's virtual terminal?
Keep using it where it makes sense. Shuttle payment links are ideal for situations where you'd rather send a link than key in a card number: phone orders, email invoices, service appointments, and more.
