Introduction
A payment request:
Is always created for a specific student
Generates a secure payment link
Automatically notifies the student to complete payment
The payment flow is common and consistent across Lynk. What changes is who can raise payment requests for specific students in an organisation ,not how payments work.
How Payment Requests Work
Every payment request in Lynk follows a consistent model:
Payments are always created for an individual student
A unique payment link is generated for that student
The link is used to collect a specific amount
Payments are never created in bulk and are not tied to batches or sessions.
What Happens When You Create a Payment Request
When a payment request is created:
A secure payment link is generated
The link is tagged to the selected student
The requested amount is locked to that link
This ensures each payment is clearly traceable and mapped to the correct student.
How Students Are Notified
Once a payment request is created, the student is automatically notified through:
Payment amount
Context of the request
Secure payment link
SMS
Backup or parallel notification
Direct payment link
The student can open the link and complete payment immediately.
What the Payment Link Represents
Each payment link in Lynk is:
Student-specific
Amount-specific
Secure and time-bound
This prevents incorrect payments and ensures collections are accurately recorded.
After the Student Completes Payment
Once payment is completed:
The payment status updates automatically
The transaction is recorded against the student
The amount becomes eligible for settlement
No manual confirmation is required.
Why Lynk Uses Student-Level Payment Requests
This design ensures:
Clear ownership of payments
Accurate tracking per student
Fewer disputes and mismatches
A consistent payment experience across Lynk
By keeping payments student-centric, Lynk maintains a clean and reliable payment system.
Summary
A payment request in Lynk creates a student-specific payment link and sends it via WhatsApp and SMS so the student can complete payment easily.
The payment process is common across Lynk and always operates at the student level.
