Handling money securely requires more than just collecting payments. Lynk is designed with multiple safeguards across the entire payment and payout flow to ensure that funds move accurately, securely, and traceably from customers to your bank account.

These safeguards work together to minimize errors, prevent misuse, and ensure payouts are processed correctly.

Secure Setup Before Payouts

Before any payouts can be processed, Lynk requires a one-time payout setup, which includes:

  • Adding bank account details

  • Providing PAN details

  • Adding GST details, if applicable, or submitting a GST declaration

This ensures payouts are linked to a verified settlement destination and aligned with compliance requirements.


Time-Bound Payment Links

Every payment request created in Lynk generates a time-bound payment link:

  • Links are valid for 24 hours

  • Expired links cannot be reused or paid

This reduces the risk of misuse, accidental payments, or delayed transactions happening outside the intended window.


Clear Status Tracking at Every Stage

Lynk tracks each payment and payout through clearly defined states:

  • Pending – link sent, payment not yet made

  • Paid – payment collected, settlement processing started

  • Settled – payout deposited to your bank

  • Expired – link no longer valid

This visibility ensures you always know where the money is and what action (if any) is needed.


Controlled Payout Processing

Payouts follow a structured T+1 processing cycle, allowing time for:

  • Payment confirmation from the gateway

  • Fraud checks and reconciliation

  • Accurate calculation of net payout amounts

This controlled timing helps prevent failed or incorrect settlements.


Summary

Lynk combines secure setup, time-bound payment links, and transparent status tracking to create a controlled, safe payout flow—reducing fraud, minimizing errors, and ensuring your earnings reach the right bank account reliably.
