Payment links for one-off payments

A payment link is a shareable web address that anyone can pay without an account and without downloading anything. It exists for the money that does not fit the monthly rent cycle: an application fee from someone who is not a tenant yet, a holding deposit, a damage charge, a key replacement, or rent from a resident who will not use the app.

Where to find it

Links are created and managed on the Payouts page in the Residents section, under Payment requests. They sit beside the payments statement rather than in settings, because a link payment has to reconcile like any other.

Creating one

A request needs a title the payer will recognize, then a few choices: a fixed amount or one the payer enters, bank or card or both, single use or reusable, an optional expiry, and optionally which resident it is for.

That last choice changes what the payment does rather than how it looks. Linked to a resident, a successful payment posts to that resident's ledger and reduces what they owe, so late fees stop being calculated on it and the autopay sweep leaves them alone. This is how you collect rent from someone who will not use the app. Not linked, the payment is company income with no ledger to credit, which is the right shape for an application fee from a prospect with no tenancy at all.

What the payer sees

The page is at pay.quickcasa.ai and leads with your company name and logo. It shows what the payment is for, the amount, and any card processing fee as its own line, with the full total before they confirm. Card details are entered inside the payment processor's own secure fields and never reach QuickCasa. A card payment finishes on the spot. A bank payment does not: it is submitted immediately but takes a few business days to clear, and the page says so rather than calling it complete.

Worth knowing

Anyone holding the address can pay it, so treat a link like a credential and send it only to the person who should pay. You can void a link to stop it taking money, and a voided or expired link still opens and tells the visitor the request is no longer available rather than showing a broken page. Each payment on a link can be refunded individually with a reason, and a single-use link that has had everything refunded starts working again.

There is no recurring or subscription link today, and no quantities, promo codes or tax calculation. A payment link is deliberately one request for one amount.
