How to

Get a customer's card on file

A stored card that recurring charges can bill, without the customer creating an account.

  1. 1

    Open the record that needs the card and use its 'send payment link' action.

    Shop

    Greyed out means the customer has no email address on their record yet.

  2. 2

    The customer receives an email with a link on your own web address, which opens a card form directly — no account, no password.

  3. 3

    Check back on the record. It shows whether a card is actually on file, not merely whether the email was sent.

    Shop

    An expired card is not a card, and the panel reflects that. If it still says no card, send the link again.

Worth knowing

  • The card is stored against the PERSON, not the contract, so one link covers everything they hold with you.
  • Re-sending replaces the earlier link. An older email in their inbox stops working, which is deliberate — a superseded link cannot be used to file a card.
