Payment Link for P-Card Orders | Streamline Purchasing

Payment Link: Build the Order. Send the Link. Complete the Purchase.

Payment Link: Build the Order. Send the Link. Complete the Purchase.

Our Payment Link (pay-by-link) feature was built for real-world company purchasing workflows.

In many organizations, the engineer or project manager knows exactly what needs to be ordered — calibration target specifications, rows, columns, sizes, materials, and quantities — but they are not authorized to use the company P-Card.

Instead of emailing specifications back and forth or asking purchasing to rebuild the cart, Payment Link allows the requester to fully configure the order and securely send a payment link to the authorized cardholder.

The purchasing department simply opens the link and completes payment.

  • No rebuilding the order.
  • No sharing credit card details internally.
  • No storing payment information on the account.

Step 4: Send the Link to Your Purchasing Team

After selecting Payment Link, a unique link is created that can be:

  • Copied and emailed
  • Sent internally to your purchasing department
  • Forwarded to the authorized P-Card holder

The link directs them to your completed cart.

Step 4: Send the Link to Your Purchasing Team

Step 5: Purchasing Completes the Payment

The authorized cardholder:

  • Opens the link
  • Reviews the cart and totals
  • Enters payment information
  • Submits the order

They do not need to log into your account.

The credit card is processed for that order only and is not saved to your account.
