PAYMENT LINKS
Payment links: sell your offer from any chat, call or email
A payment link is a web address that opens a checkout for one offer at one price. You send it to someone who is ready to buy, in the conversation you are already having. Here is when a link beats a sales page, how to sell with one, and how Webinly payment links work.
When to sell with a payment link
Coaches and course sellers close many sales in conversation: a reply to a story, a call after a webinar, an email. By the time someone asks how to pay, the selling is done, and a long sales page only gives them a new place to hesitate. A link that opens on the price and the pay button does not.
| Situation | The link to send |
|---|---|
| A buyer asks how to pay, in a DM | A plain link, sent as a short message. |
| A closer ends a sales call | The buyer's email, locked to them, the closer as the seller, and a price hold of a day or two. |
| A waitlist place opens | Their email, locked to them, and a link that stops working after 48 hours. |
| A company pays for an employee | Paying for someone else: access and the receipt go to the employee, and the payer is saved as a contact too. |
| A team lead buys for the team | Several seats in one card payment. |
How to sell with a payment link
- Send a message, not a bare link
A lone web address in a chat reads like spam. Put the offer name and the price above it.
- Only promise a deadline you will keep
If the price holds for 24 hours, charge it for 24 hours, then the regular price.
- One link per seller, or per buyer
Then who sold what is a number you can pay commission on.
- Go back to the people who stopped
Someone who typed their details and did not pay is your best follow-up. Reply within a day.
How payment links work in Webinly
Start from an offer
A payment link sells an offer, and an offer lives in a webinar. You create it in the webinar wizard or later in the webinar’s Engagement tab, with a price and an optional sale price, and you pick the currency beside the price from the ones your processors can take. On an automated webinar you also pick what it delivers. The Offers page lists them all, with how many payment links each has switched on.
Create the link
On an offer’s page, New link opens a short form. Every field is optional:
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Hold the price for | The sale price for this buyer, 1 hour to 30 days from when they enter their details. If they enter them again on the same link, the hold starts over, so also set Link stops working after if the deadline must be final. Needs a sale price on that webinar. |
| Limit to | Closes the link once that many people have gone through to checkout. The page shows the places left. |
| Your note for this link | A private label, such as who you spoke to. |
| Who is selling this | A seller name, which the Payment links page groups by. |
| Their name and email | Filled in for the buyer. |
| Only this person can use it | Only that email can check out. Someone who opens a forwarded copy and enters a different email is turned away. |
| They are paying for someone else | The page asks who it is for. Access and the receipt go to that person, and the payer is added to your contacts too. |
| Link stops working after | Closes the link itself, 1 hour to 30 days after you create it. |
| One buyer can pay for up to | Up to 20 seats in one card payment. Each extra seat becomes a claim link the buyer passes on. A KWD offer paid through a KNET gateway sells one seat per payment. |
Copy message gives you the offer name, the price the link’s page shows and the link. Switching a link off does not delete it, and you can switch it back on, so an old one in a chat still tells the buyer the truth: switched off, full, or past its window. Removing the offer from its webinar, or deleting the webinar, is different: it deletes those links, their addresses stop opening, and past sales lose their via a payment link mark in Sales.
What the buyer sees
A short page, not a sales page: your logo and business name if you have added them, the offer, the price (the regular one struck through while a hold applies), places left if you set a limit, then name, email and Continue to payment. When the offer and webinar names are mostly in Arabic, the page is in Arabic. Chat previews show the offer name and price, and search engines are asked not to index the page.
Next comes the same checkout buyers use inside your webinar, already open. A countdown shows only while a sale price applies; after it, the regular price stands and the offer stays buyable. Someone who already bought is told so instead of being charged twice.
Stripe, Tap, Tabby and KNET on a payment link
You connect your own accounts in Settings, Payments, and the money lands in them. What a buyer is offered depends on the offer’s currency:
| Method | When it appears | What you connect |
|---|---|---|
| Card, through Stripe | Prices such as USD, EUR or GBP. Stripe alone cannot price an offer in KWD or SAR. | Stripe |
| Card, through Tap | Gulf prices such as KWD and SAR. Takes Visa, Mastercard, mada and American Express. | Tap, with your secret and public keys, and Tap's approval of Webinly's domain before live payments |
| Pay in 4, with Tabby | AED, SAR and KWD offers, beside the card or KNET option, never on its own. | Tabby |
| KNET | KWD offers, when a KNET gateway handles your dinar prices. When Tap handles them, buyers pay by card. | A KNET gateway |
Where Stripe and Tap can both take a currency, the preferred processor you pick in Settings, Payments decides. On each offer’s page, How people can pay switches Card, KNET or Pay in 4 off for that offer, inside the webinar and on every payment link alike. Switching off the last way to pay takes the offer off sale, and Webinly asks first.
Need another currency? Add a version at a price you type, sold through its own link; Webinly never converts for you.
After someone pays
They are in your contacts before they pay. Entering a name and email adds the buyer (and the payer, when someone pays for another person) to your contacts, one profile per email in the built-in customer data platform. An existing contact is left as it is. People who start paying and stop show up in the ready-made Checkout abandoned segment.
The sale starts what you built. The contact is tagged purchased, and automations that start on Pays you begin, as they do at every Webinly checkout. When the offer is set to deliver something, which you pick on automated webinars, it is handed over the moment they pay; otherwise you deliver it yourself. A buyer of several seats gets a claim link for each extra one. Webinar follow-up covers what to send next.
Sales lists every link sale. A sale made through a link sits under the webinar it sold from and is marked via a payment link. You can filter by status. Totals stay per currency, and each sale shows its hand-over: delivered, yours to deliver, did not reach them, or payment only when nothing was set to be handed over. Paid webinar tickets are counted with registrations instead.
Payment links is your sellers’ scoreboard. Every link, grouped by seller, with how many people each let through to checkout and how many paid. When someone leaves your team, one button, confirmed with a second click, switches off all their links.
Webinly payment links or a plain processor link
For one card payment, your processor’s own link does the job. A Webinly link adds what selling in conversation needs: the buyer in your contacts before they pay, a sale price held per buyer, the seller’s name, automatic delivery on automated webinars, and Tap and Tabby beside Stripe.
What it does not do
It is not a link for any product. Every link sells the main offer of one of your webinars, and that webinar must be free to join: the buyer is registered to it, so on a paid-entry webinar a link would give a seat away. Order bumps, upsells, downsells and draft offers cannot have a link.
No instalments. An offer sold in instalments cannot have a payment link.
Several seats need the card form. When a buyer picks more than one seat, Pay in 4 steps aside. A KWD offer paid through a KNET gateway goes to the gateway’s own payment page instead of the card form, and that page takes one seat per payment, so a team lead buying that offer for several people pays once per person.
A seller name is not a login. Anyone holding a link can sell with it, and the numbers follow the link, not a person’s account.
Send your first link in four steps
- 1. Connect a processor
Stripe, Tap or both in Settings, Payments, plus Tabby if you sell in AED, SAR or KWD. For Tap, save the secret key and the public key, and ask Tap to approve Webinly’s domain before you take live payments.
- 2. Put the offer in a free webinar
As its main offer, with a sale price if you want to hold one. See webinar offers.
- 3. Open the offer and press New link
Then See what the buyer sees, once, before you send it.
- 4. Copy the message into the conversation
Then watch Sales, and follow up with anyone who stopped.
Common questions
- What is a payment link?
- A web address that opens a checkout for one offer at one price, sent to someone ready to buy instead of a sales page. In Webinly each link sells an offer from one of your webinars, and the buyer lands in your contacts.
- Can I use Tap instead of Stripe for a payment link?
- Yes. Connect Tap in Settings, Payments, with both your secret key and your public key, and before you take live payments ask Tap to approve Webinly's domain for your account (the settings page gives you the address to write to). Offers priced in Gulf currencies such as KWD or SAR then take cards, mada included, on Tap's form, and the money goes to your own Tap account.
- Can buyers pay by KNET or Tabby through a payment link?
- KNET works on KWD offers when a KNET gateway handles your dinar prices; when Tap handles them, buyers pay by card. Tabby's Pay in 4 appears on AED, SAR and KWD offers beside the card or KNET option, never on its own. Pay in 4 does not appear on a multi-seat purchase, and a KWD offer paid through a KNET gateway sells one seat per payment.
- Which plans include payment links?
- Every plan, once a payment processor is connected. The fee on what you sell depends on your plan and how the buyer pays; the pricing page has the numbers, and your processor charges its own fee on top.
