Introductions

Auto payments is especially useful for businesses and coaches that charge regular monthly fees or bill students based on session or class counts attended.

How Auto Pay Works

Auto Pay operates on simple scheduling rules that you define once. Based on these rules, Lynk automatically:

Creates payment requests at the scheduled time
Sends payment links to customers

This removes the need to manually track due dates or remember to send payment requests.

When to Use Auto Pay

Auto Pay is best suited for predictable, recurring collections, such as:

Monthly coaching or subscription fees
Batch-based recurring payments
Class-count or session-based billing cycles
Long-term programs with regular payment intervals

If you collect the same type of payment repeatedly, Auto Pay helps standardize the process.

What Gets Automated

With Auto Pay enabled, Lynk automatically handles:

Payment request creation
Payment link sharing via WhatsApp and SMS
Payment tracking until settlement or expiry

You continue to receive updates on payment status without manual intervention.

Payment Link Behavior

Each Auto Pay request:

Generates a new payment link
Follows the standard 24-hour validity rule
Moves through familiar statuses such as Pending, Paid, Settled, or Expired

If a payment is not completed within the validity window, the request expires like any standard payment link.

Visibility and Control

Even though Auto Pay is automated, you still have full visibility:

All Auto Pay requests appear under the Payments → Requests section
You can track which payments are paid, pending, or expired
Fee handling (passing or absorbing gateway fees) follows the same rules as manual requests
