Introduction

Once a payment request is created in Lynk, the system ensures that the payment link reaches the student without any manual follow-up required.

Lynk supports both automatic delivery and manual sharing, giving you flexibility based on how you communicate with your students.

Every payment link shared is secure, trackable, and time-bound.

Automatic Sharing via Lynk

By default, Lynk automatically shares the payment link as soon as the request is created.

What happens automatically:

  • The payment link is sent to the student’s registered mobile number

  • The message is delivered via:

    • WhatsApp

    • SMS

  • No additional action is required from you

This ensures students receive the request instantly and can complete the payment without delays.


Manual Sharing Using Copy Link

In cases where you want to share the payment link yourself, Lynk allows you to copy the link directly from the request screen.

Steps to manually share:

  1. Open the payment request from the Requests section

  1. Tap Share Link, the link gets copied

  1. Paste and send the link to the student through your preferred channel

Manual sharing is useful when:

  • You want to resend the link in a personal conversation

  • The student asks for the link again

  • You are following up outside of automated reminders


Where the Payment Link Can Be Shared

Copied payment links can be shared through:

  • WhatsApp chats

  • SMS

  • Email

  • Any messaging platform used to communicate with students

Regardless of how it is shared, the link behavior remains the same.


Important Things to Know

  • Each payment link is valid for 24 hours from creation

  • Expired links cannot be used for payment

  • Payment status updates automatically once the student completes the payment

  • All activity is tracked under the same payment request

Sharing the link multiple times does not create duplicate requests.


Summary

Lynk makes sharing payment links simple and flexible:

  • Payment links are automatically sent via WhatsApp and SMS

  • Links can also be manually copied and shared anytime

  • All links are secure, time-bound, and trackable

  • Payment status updates without manual reconciliation

This ensures smooth payment collection while giving you full control over follow-ups and communication.
