Payment Link Types

These features are common to both payment link types.

• Support for passwordless login.
• During link generation, the default payment method set for the Pay Now store is configured. You can select a different set, but the set must contain payment methods that support the default currency of the Pay Now store. For example, if the default currency is euros, the payment method set must contain payment methods that support euros. To override the default payment method set, pick a payment method set thatʼs associated with the merchant account thatʼs linked to the Pay Now store.
• You can use HTML to format the description that’s shown on the payment page.
• You can use store components to create the payment page that your customer sees.

Predefined Amount Link

Directs a customer to a branded payment page that shows only the amount owed. You specify the amount when you configure the link. The store component Pay Now: Predefined Amount, available with the Pay page, provides the payment page that your customer sees.

To determine the source of a payment that’s associated with a Predefined Amount link, view the Payment Initiation Source record. This record is created based on information stored in the link record. To view this information, use the Developer Console and query the link record.

This page is generated using the Predefined Amount Link.

With Products Link

Directs a customer to a page that shows a list of preselected products, calculates the tax based on the shipping address on those products, and provides shipping options. After the customer completes the transaction, an order record is created. You can view the order using an integrated order management product, such as Salesforce Order Management. The store component Pay Now: With Products, available with the Checkout page, provides the page that your customer sees. This link maps to the Checkout with Order functionality in the PaymentLink object. The With Products link type requires that you enable person accounts for your org.

To determine the source of a payment that’s associated with a With Products Link, view the Store and Channel values on the Payment Initiation Source record. The Store value is the Pay Now store and the Channel value is Managed Checkout. If the Pay Now store has only one With Products Link, you can use the link to determine the source of the order. If the Pay Now store has multiple With Products Links, you can cross-check the items in the Cart against the Payment Initiation Source record to determine the source of the order. This record is created based on information stored in the link record. To view this information, use the Developer Console and query the link record.
