Copy a payment link instead of texting it

A payment link can reach the client by text, by email, or through any chat you copy it into, and only the text spends an SMS credit.

1. Open the booking from Appointments.
2. Under Payment Method, choose Secure Payment Link.
3. Under Deliver Link By, choose SMS, Email or Copy Link.
4. Select the button under it, which carries the amount and reads Send by SMS, Email Link or Copy Link.
5. If you chose SMS, check the preview in Send Payment Link by SMS, then select the Send Payment Link button.
6. If you chose Copy Link, select Copy Link in Copy Payment Link, then paste it into your own message.

SMS asks Petboost to text the link, which uses one of your SMS credits. Email has Petboost email the client a pay-online message carrying the link, and Copy Link generates the link for you to share however you like, so a client you already talk to on WhatsApp or Messenger costs nothing to chase. All three make the same checkout against the same booking, and the payment lands the same way whichever you pick.

Send it when the client is ready to pay. They open a Stripe checkout and do not log in. The amount is set when you send it, the same way a charge sent to a card machine is set when you send it. Changing the price afterwards does not change a checkout already sent, so sending it again sends that same page.
