Payment Links
Create a shareable payment link from an amount and a recipient, without writing code.
A payment link is the shortest path to a single payment on Seev. You enter an amount, attach a recipient, and share a URL. There are no line items and no due date. The payer lands on the same Seev-hosted checkout that Invoices and the Checkout API use, so the payment methods and the payment record are identical.
You know the amount and do not need line items, tax, or a due date.
Itemized bills with a due date, which is an invoice. A browsable catalogue, which is a storefront.
Approved verification. You can save a link before that, but it will not generate a live checkout.
How a link moves
A link collects one payment. Once it is paid it moves to Paid on its own and will not generate another live checkout, which is what stops a payer being charged twice on the same URL.
Live and payable.
A payment succeeded. The link moves here on its own.
Past the expiry date or manually deactivated.
Cancelled before payment. Checkout and sharing are disabled.
A generated checkout session lasts 30 minutes. A payer who opens the link after that needs a fresh checkout, so send the link close to when you expect it to be paid rather than days ahead.
Create a link
From the dashboard, go to Payment Links → New Link. Select the organization that should receive the money before you start, because the link is bound to whichever one is active at creation.
Entered in major units, so GHS 100.00 is typed as 100.00. Fixed at
creation, and the payer cannot change it.
Set at creation and not editable afterwards.
Short label shown to the payer on the checkout page. Say what they are paying for.
Pre-filled on the checkout page when present.
When present, Seev emails the link and sends the receipt here.
Generate Link stays disabled until a customer and an amount are both present. Copy the link and send it however suits you, over WhatsApp, SMS, email or social media. The payer needs no Seev account.
Once checkout has been generated, the link's detail page carries a copyable payment URL and a Scan to pay QR code. Click the QR code for a fullscreen view large enough to be scanned across a counter.
What the payer sees, and what happens when they pay
The payer opens the link and lands on the Seev-hosted checkout page, which shows your business, the amount and your description, then the methods currently enabled for that payment.
Which methods appear is decided per payment rather than per link, so read Payment Methods before you tell a payer how to pay, and open the checkout once yourself to confirm.
Seev emails you when the payment succeeds, and the dashboard record updates without you refreshing it.
The link moves to Paid and will not generate another live checkout.
The sharing, QR and active-checkout controls are hidden, deliberately: a second live checkout on a paid link is a second charge.
Manage links
The table filters, sorts and paginates on the server across status, currency, recipient, search text and date.
All, Pending, Paid and Cancelled, where Pending means active links that can still be paid.
Use it on an unpaid link that should no longer be payable. A paid or already cancelled link cannot be cancelled again.
