Invoice Link Settings
In the Invoice Link Settings you will find the settings for what will be shown on the payment link for your customers. The invoice link will remain the same for your customers, after they receive it once they can save it for quicker access in the future.
At the top of this section you will find the General Settings, you can:
- Show the link on emails and adjust the wording that your customer sees
- Have all open invoices selected by default. If this option is selected the customer will have to manually deselect any invoices they choose not to pay
- Disable the ability for the customer to enter partial balances. If this option is selected the customer will not be able to edit the amount field
- Enable the option for your customers to store and use their payment details to be selected by default
- Enable the ability for the customers to apply credits/unapplied payments to their invoices
- Show, hide, or only hide the resend email button with any of the following terms
Invoices to Display Settings
In this section you can:
Allow customers to view their past invoices in the invoice link
- You can show all or enter a date. Entering a date will prevent older invoices from being shown.
Only display invoices in the invoice link with the following terms, or leave the field blank to display invoices with any terms.
- This will help filter invoices to be shown to the customer. Simply select the terms you would like the customer to see the invoices for.
Only display invoices with the following location
- Like the previous setting this is for easy filtering. Select the locations to be displayed or leave it blank to show all.
Only display invoices with the following customer types
- Just like the previous 2 settings this is an additional filter for the invoice link. You can elect to leave this field blank or select the customer types you would like to include in the invoice link.
Allow customers to view active recurring invoices in the email link
- Selecting this option enables the customer to see the recurring invoices that are currently active and have not been made inactive/completed.
In the Information to Display Settings you can select additional information for your customers to see in the invoice link.
Allow Customers to View Upcoming payments in their Invoice link
- Enabling this option will add a new tab to the invoice link titled upcoming payments. You can choose which payments to show such as any scheduled, recurring, or payments enabled on recurring invoices that will be created in the future.
Allow customer memos to be displayed on Open Invoices in the invoice link
- This option will show add a view memo column to the invoice link, with a hyper link that will open the memo. The memo can be added at the bottom of the invoice in the message area.
Select if you would like to hide invoice total amounts and balances to hide in the invoice link, emails, and PDFs
- By default, the always show invoice totals and balances option will be selected. You can change the option to always hide the totals and balances or only hide the ones with the terms selected.
If you choose to always hide the invoice total amounts and balances it will look similar to:
When the customer clicks continue to payment they will see no totals. When they enter the amount to pay it will not allow them to pay more than that invoice. If they enter an amount greater than the total for the invoice it will revert to the invoice total.
If you have selected the option to disable the ability to pay a partial invoice the amount will still show in the payment amount column, even if you select to always hide invoice totals and balances.
Under the Payment Processor Settings you will find the payment options for the invoice link
For the card and ACH/EFT options it will show "none" if there are no processors connected. The customer will not have the ability to pay through the link. If you have a Recur360Pay account connected to your Recur360 it will be listed here.
You can choose to select "none" if you prefer the customers to pay with just one form of payment.
With this option the customers will be able to pay with ACH/EFT, but not with credit cards. It works the same if you select "none" for ACH/EFT but have the credit card processor selected, then they can only pay with credit card.
The "check here to make it so when multiple invoices are selected and paid for, only one single payment is processed and written to QuickBooks" option is important to prevent confusion. If not selected, then when the payment is run there will be multiple charges for the lesser amounts vs having the one larger payment post to their card/ACH.
You can choose to have the invoice link show credit/debit first or ACH/EFT depending on your preferences. You can also choose which cards you support processing by unselecting the ones you don't take.
In the Customer Information Editing section you can choose whether your customer will have access to edit information through the email link. You can choose what information the customer has access to update by selecting the box next to each item.

The last section in the email settings is the Templates section
This is where you can change the verbiage for different types of emails being sent.
In the last area you will see the PDF preview. This is where you can preview the PDF based on the settings that have been selected.
