More and more customers are using online payments, and many companies are looking for a suitable solution. But most people do not have the time or the know-how to program their own shop solutions. Now, with Concardis Paylink, Concardis is offering an e-payment solution for all retailers, even those with no programming experience.

Concardis Paylink offers a unique payment solution for distributing individualised payment pages and one-page shops virally, on any network. Specifically, this means that the individual link can be shared by email and on all social media. It is also possible to embed the payment page on your own website. Without any programming knowledge, you can give the payment page and the one-page shop an individual look and feel. The page can be made to match your own design, with your own colours, pictures, logos and fonts. Producing discount codes is also fast and efficient with Concardis Paylink. You just use the ‘Discount codes’ option. Concardis Paylink also lets you connect to an online-shop solution. Thanks to the integrated development tools, the Concardis Paylink interface can be integrated with external systems via API as a payment gateway.

To give you a direct overview of the most important information at a glance, like the latest transactions, the first page of the back end shows you what is called a dashboard.

With the help of the dashboard, you have all the important information laid out in front of you whenever you need it.

The back end of Concardis Paylink is the user interface for the merchant. Once you have logged in at login.pay-link.eu, you are already in the back end, where you will find administrative access to all functions and options offered by Concardis Paylink. You can design and manage your own One Page Shop as well as create, change and send payment links. Additionally, you also have a real-time view of all transactions.

The front end is your website, which you create for the customer and share with them. With Concardis Paylink, the front end is the payment page that is shown to the consumer.

Before you send a payment link or share your One Page Shop online, you should implement your general terms and conditions in Concardis Paylink. Under Settings > Legal, you will find the field ‘General terms and conditions’, where you can store your general terms and conditions.

The first step is to create a new profile under Settings > Look and feel, where you can create your own environment according to your own needs. Choose a profile name; adapt your logo; edit the background area; and choose colours, fonts and font sizes. As soon as you have finished creating your profile, save it as a new profile.

Then, on the left side of the overview, you will see the option Tools > Mini shops. Here, click on Add new mini shop. Step by step, you can create your individual One Page Shop divided into the sections ‘Title and description’, ‘Payment information’, ‘Products’, ‘Form fields’ and ‘Additional options’.

Under Tools > Mini shops, open your personal shop. Under ‘Additional options’, you can assign a particular look and feel to the mini shop. If no look-and-feel profile was chosen when the shop was created, the preset standard profile is used.

Under Tools > Mini shops, select the shop you created; this will take you to the ‘Edit mini shop’ page. Navigate to the ‘Share mini shop’ tab. There, you will now see the link generated, which you can either open or share directly via the provided buttons for Facebook, Google+ and Twitter. You can also share the link via email, text message, WhatsApp and other social media. The customer clicks on the link and is taken directly to the payment page you designed – the One Page Shop.

Yes, that is possible. Have you already shared the link online and would like, for instance, to integrate an additional product in the shop – without creating a new shop and/or sharing a second link? No problem! Simply add the product later, and click on ‘Save’. The previously shared link automatically takes on the change, and you do not need to create a new shop.

Concardis Paylink can be used in multiple languages. In the Language area under Settings > Basic settings, you can set the standard language for the front end as well as for administration. You can choose from among German, English, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese and Turkish.

If you activate the option to display a multilingual front end with language selection, you have the ability to offer the front end in multiple languages at the same time. When creating a mini shop, now the function ‘Multilingual’ appears above each text field (including title, description). There, you can activate the language fields according to your needs. The end user can change the payment page or the One Page Shop to their desired language via language selection.

Yes, there is no limit to the number of One Page Shops you can create.

On the left side of the overview, you will find the option Marketing > Discount vouchers. There, click on ‘Create a new discount voucher’. You can give the discount code a name and assign it to the corresponding One Page Shop. Additionally, you can decide whether you would like to offer the discount as a fixed amount or as a percentage. You can also determine the available number as well as the expiry date of the discount code.

On the left side of the overview, you will see the Products option. There, click on ‘Add product’. Now you can create your product at your discretion. You can add the title, the description and images and determine the price and currency. Keep an inventory or indicate whether the number of items ordered can be selected.

In the options area, you can add your own individual variations. Is this product available in various versions such as size or colour? You decide.

Once you have saved the product, under Tools > Mini shops in the settings of your One Page Shop under ‘Products’, you will find the option to assign your newly created product to your One Page Shop.

Of course. If you do not add any products to your One Page Shop, the system will generate a simple payment page. You can adapt this payment page according to your wishes under ‘Edit mini shop’. On the payment page, the payment field is displayed as an open amount; however, you can determine a minimum amount in the settings.

On the left side of the overview, you will see the option Tools > Mini shops. There, click on ‘Create payment link’. In the ready-made template, you enter the title, amount and email address, and you also have the option to even personalise the payment link by entering known merchant information in advance. When sent, the payment link automatically appears in the standard look and feel.

When creating the payment link, you have the ability to activate the field ‘Send payment link now’ under ‘Send’. When activated, new text fields open where you can enter the subject and an optional message. Furthermore, you also have the option to send a test email at this stage. If you do not activate the field ‘Send payment link now’, you can save the payment link created and send it at a later date.

The payment link is always sent in the look and feel that you have chosen as standard under Settings > Look and feel.

Under Settings > Look and feel, in the standard column, you choose your favourite specially created look-and-feel profile. The selected standard profile now serves as the environment for the payment link.
