You're right. Intuit's payment options are only available with emailed invoices, not with statements, @newsdesk. Statements are used to provide a summary of account activities and transactions over a period and do not support direct payment options.
For collecting payments, you can consider resending the outstanding invoice to your customers, which can include payment links. This way, you provide them with an easy and direct way to settle their accounts.
