Sending a quick payment link is the easiest way to charge guests if you can’t process their credit card or they want to pay with a different method. This feature keeps payments simple and secure for everyone.
How Payment Links Work
Just create a payment link from your booking, share it with your guest, and wait for them to pay. Once payment is complete, Mangobeds will automatically update the booking to show it’s settled.
Creating a Payment Link
- Connect a Payment Account
Make sure you have a payment account linked to your property. If you need help, check out Payment Accounts and Online Payments. - Go to Booking → Payments Tab
Open the booking you want to charge, head to the “Payments” section, and click Create New Payment. - Select Amount and Choose an Option
Enter the payment amount, then pick one of two options:- Copy payment link — Creates the link and copies it to your clipboard so you can share it manually (via WhatsApp, chat, etc.)
- Send payment link by email — Sends the payment link directly to the guest’s email. You can customize the email message before sending — the payment link is added automatically at the end.
- Share the Link
If you chose Copy payment link, send it to your guest via email, chat, or however you usually communicate. If you chose Send payment link by email, the guest already received it — no extra step needed. The payment stays “Pending” until the guest completes it.
Customizing the Email Message
When you choose “Send payment link by email”, you’ll see a text box with a default message. You can edit this message to match your property’s tone and style before sending. The payment link is always included automatically at the bottom of the email.
Need the Link Again?
Look for the pending payment, click the three dots, and select Copy Link. Note that only pending payments have an active link to share.
Wrap-Up
Payment links are perfect if you want a fast, flexible way to handle charges without fuss. Give it a try and keep your bookings running smoothly!
