If you need to easily collect payments from your customers, you can Set up Payment Processing in GoReminders. This way, you can view all of your payment requests and appointments in one place.
However, if you prefer using a different payment method instead of our fully integrated payment processing feature, you’re free to manually add a payment link to your reminders.
How to get the shareable links from your payment processing service:

To find your personal QR code, go to your Venmo app.
-
Open the scanner and tap “Venmo Me”. You’ll see your personal QR code next to your profile picture.
-
Click on the Share button and copy the link.
-
Go to Settings > Reminders in your GoReminders account.
-
Select the desired message template to add the link.
-
Paste the link into the reminder template and customize your message as needed.

Note: We don’t recommend using a URL shortener like Bitly or TinyURL. Putting shortened URLs in a message makes it more likely to be blocked by phone carriers. US carrier policies strongly discourage the use of shared public URL shorteners due to the frequency of use by bad actors.
