Direct payments

Using the payments links is the simplest way to accept payments made with credit card or bank account. This feature is available in the VulaCoin add-on to pay Invoices and Proforma Invoices. This provides convenience and simplicity for your customers, so the amount of on-time payments will increase.

For example, you can add a payment link to the email with the (proforma) invoice, as a result, the customer can make payment quickly by clicking onto such link instead of logging in to their Portal page.

To create a direct payment link, please use the patterns below:

https://<splynx_domain_address>/vulacoin/direct-pay-invoice?item_id=<invoice_number>
