The Payment Link on Invoice feature lets you include a secure online payment option directly on your invoices. When your Miocommerce account is connected to Stripe, this feature enables your customers to pay their invoice in just a few clicks, reducing payment delays and improving the overall billing experience.

By adding a payment link, invoices become more convenient, professional, and easier to settle—no manual follow-ups or separate payment instructions required.

When to use this feature

Use a payment link when:

  • You want customers to pay invoices online

  • You want to reduce payment delays and follow-ups

  • You want invoice payments to update automatically in MioCommerce

Before you start

Section 1 - How to add a payment link to an invoice

There are three ways to add a payment link, depending on how you invoice.

Option 1 – Add a payment link while creating an Instant Invoice

  1. Go to All-in-1 E-Commerce → Create → Invoice

  2. Complete the invoice details

  3. In the Summary section, enable Add Payment Link to Invoice

Save or send the invoice

Option 2 – Add a payment link to an existing invoice

  1. Go to Payments → Invoices

  2. Open the invoice

  3. Click Add Payment Link to Invoice

  4. Save or resend the invoice

Option 3 – Enable payment links for all invoices (company setting)

  1. Go to Settings → Invoicing

  2. Enable Add Payment Link to Invoice

  3. Save the setting

Once enabled, all newly created invoices will automatically include a payment link.

Section 2 - Where Customers See and Use the Payment Link

After a payment link is added, customers can access it from:

  • Invoice email – displayed directly in the email

  • PDF invoice – included as a clickable link in the PDF

Clicking the link opens a secure MioCommerce-hosted payment page showing the invoice summary and total amount due.

Customers can complete payment without logging in.

Optional: saving payment details

Customers can choose to save their payment method for future use.
Saved payment methods are securely stored in the customer profile and can be reused for future invoices or bookings.

Section 3 - What happens after a payment is completed

After payment is made through the payment link:

  • The customer is redirected to a payment confirmation/success page

  • Invoice status updates automatically to Paid

  • Administrators receive an email notification (can be disabled)

  • The customer receives a payment receipt with a PDF copy (can be disabled)

Success Page: The customer is redirected to a confirmation page showing that the payment was successful.

Email Notifications:

  • To Administrators: All account administrators receive an email notification when an invoice is paid. This ensures your team is instantly informed, can provide follow-up support if needed, and continue with related workflows. This notification can be turned off if desired.

  • To the Customer: The customer receives a payment receipt via email, including a PDF copy of the invoice receipt for their records. This option can be turned off if you prefer not to send customer receipts.

Important to know

  • Adding a payment link does not charge the customer automatically

  • If a payment link is added after an invoice is sent, the invoice must be sent again

  • Removing Stripe disables payment links on all invoices

Adding a payment link to your invoices makes it quick and easy for customers to pay online, while streamlining your invoicing process and giving it a more professional, polished look.
