How to Accept Payments Using Your Bio Link Page

Available with the Standard plan and above, as well as during the 7-day free trial

With the SendPulse bio link page builder, you can add a payment button to your bio-link to implement one-click payments for your products.

After clicking on the button, users will be redirected to a payment page, where they enter their card data and pay for the goods. The money will be transferred to the account of your payment system.

To add "Buy" button drag and drop the "Payments" element from the left panel of the bio link page builder right near your product description element.

Enter Product Name

Enter the name of your product in the right panel. It will be displayed on the payment page of your payment system and the receipt.

Select Your Payment Method

Add a Payment Amount

Select a payment type (indicated price or minimal price) and amount.

To choose or change the currency you accept, go to “Account settings” > “Accept payments,” and next to your payment method, go to merchant settings, and choose a currency.

A fixed-price payment will be considered successful if a user paid the full specified amount. A minimal-price payment will be considered successful if a user paid any amount that is equal to or higher than the minimum payment amount.

You can use the “Minimal price” payment type for fundraising and donations.
