Payment links

Payment links

Managing payments effectively is vital for any business’s growth and stability. Bigin helps you manage operations and sell products, and with this feature, you can have a better control over your payments. This integrated payment feature lets you  create and send payment links from Bigin to your customers, making payment collection easier. This improves customer experience and streamlines operations.

To start collecting payments, you should first create a payment link for the record.
To create a payment link, go to any of the records in the Pipelines module and follow these steps:
  1. Click the Collect Payment button in a pipeline record.
  2. Choose your preferred Amount Type: 
    • From the Amount Field: This type collects the amount mentioned in the amount field in the pipeline record. If you have multiple currency type fields in your account, you can choose a desired field from the provided picklist.
    • Fixed Amount: You can enter a fixed amount that your customer needs to pay. Remember, it cannot be changed once the link is created.
    • Decided by Customer: With this type of amount, you can let your customers choose the amount they want to pay, and you can define a minimum amount that can be paid.  This field can be used in scenarios like donation.
  3. After choosing a type, you can set a due date for the payment. The due date is the anticipated date for payment.
  4. Apart from the due date, you also have the option to choose a grace period. A grace period is like an extended due date. Once the grace period ends, your customers will no longer be able to make payments.
  5. You can also add a description about the payment.
  6. Once you are done, click on the Create Link button. Your payment link will be created.

  7. Once you create the link, you can share it right away with your customer via email or copy the link and use it anywhere required.

  8. Your customers can make payments using the provided link. The payment status in the related list updates based on their action:
    • Received: Payment has been successfully completed.
    • Failed: Payment was unsuccessful.
    • Overdue: Payment is past the due date.
    • Pending: Awaiting payment.
    • Expired: Payment link is no longer valid.

  9. If no grace period is configured, the payment link will expire on the due date. If a grace period is added, the link will expire on the due date plus the number of grace days. For example, if the due date is June 15, and the grace period is 10 days, the link will expire on June 25.
  10. You can only delete a payment link before any successful payment is made.

Deactivating Payments

You can deactivate any of the gateways any time you want. To deactivate a gateway, go to Settings > Organizations > Payments > Deactivate.

You can also disconnect from the gateways; to do so, go to Settings > Organizations > Payment > Disconnect button.

Dashboards   

You can create dashboard components based on the status of the payment link. For example, you can generate reports for all payments made so far, failed payments, successful payments, and more, according to your requirements.

To create a payment details report, select the Payments module within any dashboard component. You can generate various types of reports based on your needs, such as reports for all payments made, failed payments, successful payments, and more.
To generate a payment report:
  1. Go to Dashboards > + Component > Chart.
  2. Assign a name to the component as required.
  3. Choose Payments as the module.
  4. Set the measure to one of the monetary fields from the Payments module that you wish to visualize in the chart.
  5. Group the data by Created Time or any other field of your preference.

Use cases 

From the Amount Field

Imagine you run a store and use Bigin's payment feature to simplify the payment process for product purchases. You can generate a payment link for the exact amount of a purchase using the amount field. For example, when a customer orders a pair of wireless headphones priced at $150, you can create a payment link for this amount. You can then send this link via email to the customer, who can conveniently click on it to be directed to a secure payment page.

Fixed Amount

Imagine you own an educational institution and use Bigin's payment feature to send payment links for the fixed tuition fees required for each course or semester. This simplifies fee collection by providing clear, predefined amounts. For example, a university can send a $1,000 payment link for semester tuition, and a training center can issue a $500 link for a coding course. This ensures precise and straightforward payment collection for educational services.

Decided by Customer

Imagine you manage an NGO and use payment links for donations, enabling donors to contribute any amount they choose. This method is effective for fundraising campaigns aimed at gathering donations of varying amounts from diverse donors. You can also set a minimum donation amount if necessary. For example, during a disaster relief campaign, your NGO can send a payment link allowing supporters to donate any preferred amount, promoting flexibility and encouraging broader participation.
