Get Paid Faster with One-Click Payment Links

Every invoice email, SMS notification, and PDF includes a direct Stripe payment link. Clients tap once and pay. No portal login required.

The Problem

Getting paid is the hardest part of running a service business. Clients forget invoices, lose emails, and delay payments because paying is inconvenient.

Clients Forget to Pay

You send an invoice, the client means to pay later, and weeks go by. Following up is awkward and time-consuming. Every day an invoice sits unpaid costs you cash flow.

Too Many Steps to Pay

Most payment flows require clients to log in to a portal, find the invoice, and enter payment details. Each extra step increases the chance they abandon the process.

No Payment Link in SMS

Text messages have the highest open rate of any communication channel, but most CRMs send invoice notifications without a direct payment link. Clients read the text but never follow through.

How It Works

Key Capabilities

Payment Links in SMS

Invoice SMS notifications include a direct payment URL. Clients tap the link in their text message and pay immediately. SMS has a 98% open rate, making this the fastest path to payment.

Payment Links in Email

Invoice emails include a prominent Pay Now button that takes clients straight to Stripe Checkout. No portal login, no searching for the invoice. One click to pay.

Payment Links in PDF

Downloaded and printed invoice PDFs include a clickable payment link. Clients who receive PDFs via email or view them on screen can click to pay directly.

Secure Stripe Checkout

Payment links use Stripe Checkout Sessions with your connected Stripe account. Clients see your business name, the exact invoice amount, and a trusted payment form.

Automatic Status Updates

When a client pays through a payment link, the invoice is automatically marked as Paid via Stripe webhooks. No manual reconciliation needed.

1% Platform Fee Only

Smarfle charges just 1% on payments processed through Stripe Connect. Combined with standard Stripe processing fees, total costs stay well below industry averages.
