Simply Link features

Everything between finishing the work and seeing it paid.

The features are not there to give you more software to manage. They are there to answer the little payment questions that otherwise stay in your messages, your bank and your head.

Free to start•No card needed to sign up•Payments processed securely by Stripe

The questions behind the features

Open Simply Link. Know what is going on.

“Who still owes me?”

Payment Tracker

“What happened with that request?”

Activity

“Do I need to chase them?”

Reminders

“It’s the same job again next week.”

Repeatability
The useful outcome is less payment admin to remember yourself.

Your language → Simply Link language

Start with the question. Then use the feature that answers it.

Simply Link is built around the practical questions that show up after the work is done — not around making you learn software jargon.

The question

“Who still owes me?”

Payment Tracker

See awaiting, overdue and paid requests together instead of checking messages and bank activity manually.

The question

“What actually happened with this payment?”

Activity & request history

See meaningful payment, reminder and request events without trying to reconstruct the timeline later.

The question

“Did I remind them already?”

Manual & automatic reminders

See reminder history, send one yourself and use automatic follow-up on eligible requests.

The question

“I charge this customer for the same thing all the time.”

Saved customers & services

Keep the details you reuse so the next payment request starts with the useful bits already there.

The question

“Can this just create the next one for me?”

Recurring Requests

On Pro, create the next normal request automatically on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly schedule.

The question

“Was that the deposit or the balance?”

Deposits & balances

Keep the initial deposit and remaining balance connected to the same job and payment journey.

The core workflow

One request. One clear journey.

Create it, check it, make it live, share it, keep track of it and see it through to paid.

  1. Create

    Choose the customer, service, amount and due date.

  2. Preview

    Check every detail before anything goes live.

  3. Make live

    Publish the customer payment page when ready.

  4. Share

    Send the secure payment link your way.

  5. Track

    See what is due, paid or needs attention.

  6. Paid

    Your customer pays securely by card through Stripe.

Awareness without the detective work

Two simple views answer two different questions.

The Payment Tracker tells you what needs attention now. Activity tells you what has happened recently.

One request at a time

When you open a payment request, the context comes with it.

Customer, amount, due state, reminders, payment history and the useful next actions stay attached to the request they belong to.

  • Customer, service, amount and due state stay together.
  • See the meaningful request and payment history in one place.
  • See reminders that were actually sent rather than inferred future history.
  • Use contextual actions such as remind, share, Request Again or archive.

Follow-up

“I hate sending reminder messages.” That is exactly the point.

A due date gives Simply Link something useful to work from. You can send a reminder yourself, or let automatic follow-up handle eligible requests.

“I hate sending reminder messages.” is an anonymised comment from a UK solo-business Facebook discussion, not a Simply Link customer testimonial.

  • Send a manual reminder whenever a payment needs a nudge.
  • See whether automatic follow-up is active on the request.
  • See when the next automatic reminder is due.
  • Free includes automatic reminders on 1 eligible payment request each month.
  • Pro enables automatic reminders across every eligible payment request.
  • Pro lets you choose a custom reminder schedule and wording.

Regular work

Do the work again without rebuilding the payment admin again.

Simply Link gives you three different levels of repeatability, depending on how predictable the work is.

Same customer

Saved customers & services

Keep customer details and the work you regularly charge for ready to reuse when the next job comes around.

Similar job, whenever it happens

Request Again

Open a previous payment, create a fresh request and change anything that is different this time.

Pro

Predictable schedule

Recurring Requests

On Pro, let Simply Link create the next normal request weekly, fortnightly or monthly.

Recurring Requests · Pro

Same customer. Same work. Stop remembering to make the next request.

Set weekly, fortnightly or monthly recurring work and Simply Link can create the next normal payment request for you.

Weekly, fortnightly or monthly

Choose the cadence that matches the regular work you actually do.

Draft first or make live automatically

Keep a final check in your workflow or let the next request publish automatically.

Each occurrence is a normal payment request

It follows the same tracking, reminders and payment workflow as any other request.

Pause and resume when the work changes

Regular work is rarely forever. Pause the schedule without losing the history.

Recurring Requests are not automatic charges.

Simply Link creates the next payment request. Your customer still opens their secure payment link and chooses to pay.

Deposits & balances

“Was that the deposit or the balance?” Keep both attached to the job.

For bookings, appointments and larger jobs, take a deposit first and keep the remaining balance connected to the same payment journey.

  • Take a deposit first for a booking, appointment or larger job.
  • Keep the remaining balance connected to the same request journey.
  • Track when the deposit is paid and when the balance becomes due.
  • Give your customer one clear payment flow instead of separate mental notes.

Easy for your customer too

Give them a clear way to pay without making your side complicated.

The customer gets a secure payment page. You choose how to share it and, on Pro, how much of your business identity comes with it.

Secure payment links

Every live request has a simple link your customer can open and pay securely by card.

Share your way

Use copy-link, email or WhatsApp sharing on both plans. Pro also includes a QR Share Pack.

Business branding

Pro

On Pro, add your business branding so the payment page feels like part of your business.

Receipts & paid emails

Pro

On Pro, customers receive receipts and you can receive an email when a payment arrives.

Payments through Stripe

Stripe handles the card payment. Simply Link handles the workflow around it.

Connecting Stripe lets Simply Link take real card payments for your business. You are not opening another bank account with Simply Link.

Card payments by Stripe

Stripe securely processes the customer card payment.

No card details stored

Simply Link does not store your customer’s card details.

Connected to your Stripe

Payments are made through your connected Stripe account.

Free vs Pro

Same core workflow. More automation and repeatability on Pro.

Start with a real customer on Free. Move to Pro when Simply Link becomes part of how you work regularly.
