Blink Payment allows you to accept card payments online, in person, or over the phone with a debit or credit card. The switch to payment links should result in a reduction in late payments, plus automated reconciling and far greater simplicity, with an invoicing system directly integrated into Zedonk.

What's new? 🎁
In your Orders module, you'll see a Paylink button against every invoice (IN) and proforma (PF).
You'll also see a Paylink button inside every IN/PF.
Once you've generated a Paylink against a doc, we'll add a QR code to any printed document.
You’ll see three statuses for any Paylink:
1. IN-10052 - Paylink has been paid (Green ring, Locked & Paid)
2. IN-10051 - Paylink generated and not yet paid (Yellow ring + Copy button)
3. IN-10050 - Pre Paylink generation (Yellow ring only)
How to? 🤷🏻♂️

What do your customers see? 👀
When you Send a Paylink, Blink will send a similar email like below, follow the Paylink to the payment gateway
You can customise the email and payment gateway with your own logo through the Blink Portal: https://secure.blinkpayment.co.uk/login*
When they've paid, they'll see something similar to below
And you'll both receive an email like this:
Back in Zedonk, we'll lock the document and mark it as paid
After payment has been processed and your Paylink button gets a green ring, you can always click on the Paylink button again to see the total paid.
Anything else? 🤔
- Paylink Paid? - Once a Paylink has been paid, you wont be able to generate another Paylink for the same document.
- Change Amount/Currency? - We'll automatically inactive your old link, generate another and ask if you want to send it out with a little banner to let you know
- Track whats going on? - we'll keep a record of any Paylinks generated, sent or changed. If the contact is changed and when its been paid, all from the logs of each document.

Want to be notified? - as well as the logs, you can set up alerts to tell you:
- if a Paylink has been generated;
