Get paid through Tide Payment Links

Here's how to use Payment Links to let your customers pay you quickly and securely.

Set up Payment Links

Payment Links can be added to any of your Tide invoices charging £5 or more, or to your messages and emails.

Your customers will receive a clickable link, which they can use to pay you immediately and securely.

Add Payment Links to your account

In the app, tap: Accounts > Get Paid > Payment Links and follow the instructions from there.

On the web, click on: Tools & Services > Get Paid > Payment Links > Accept card payments with Payment Links.

You can also enable Payment Links when you create an invoice – just turn the Payment Links toggle on and follow the steps from there.

Start using Payment Links

In your invoices

Go to the Get Paid tab and tap Create invoice > Add customer > Add items > Turn on Payment Links.

Once added, you’ll receive a notification each time you get paid. You can turn Payment Links on or off by tapping the Payment Link switch on any invoice.

Through email or messaging

You can send Payment Links on their own too. We call these 'Standalone Payment Links', and you can share them via email, WhatsApp, or text.

To create a standalone Payment Link that you can copy and paste into your messages, go to the Get Paid tab, then tap Send Payment Links.

Accepted cards

American Express, Visa, Mastercard, Apple, and Google Pay

Pay by Bank

If you've sent your customers a Tide Payment Link, they can either pay this by card or via Pay by Bank.

Pay by Bank takes your customers directly to their UK banking app to make the secure payment instead.

Start using Pay by Bank

There's no extra steps to ensure your customers see this. Whenever you send a payment link, they'll be given both the Pay by bank transfer and Credit / Debit Card options to pay you.

Transactions are usually processed instantly, and directly into your Tide Business Account. For now, you can’t receive international payments.
