How to add payment link to QBO?

You need to signup for QB Payment or a 3rd party payment processor to integrate with QBO. Is your company located in the US or another country?

To add a payment link to QuickBooks Online, follow these steps:

• Go to Sales > Payment Links.

You can then share the payment link with your customer via email, text message, or social media. When the customer clicks on the link, they will be taken to a secure payment page where they can enter their payment information.

Here are some additional tips for using payment links in QuickBooks Online:

I there a way to add your own payment link to the invoice? 
Like i normally email my clients with a link to Paypal or Stripe so they can make payment.

Let's make sure this will added to the next upcoming updates, Trumpbox.

QuickBooks Online (QBO) integrates with different third-party applications to add powerful functionality to your accounting processes. 

For now, adding your own payment link to the invoice isn't an option. You can search and use a third-party application instead. Search one from the Apps menu, then go to the Find apps. 

Another option is to go to this link to search for an application.

Moreover, learn how the customer pays you so you can create and send an invoice. For more details, I've added this article: Record Invoice Payments In QuickBooks Online.

Can anyone tell me how to create a display name (i.e. “Invoice ###”) for a QuickBooks payment link to insert in a Gmail message on an IPad??  I tried to create one in Pages, but when I copied/paste it reverts to the entire link in the Gmail.

I can help you create a hyperlink for QuickBooks Online (QBO) in Gmail on your iPad, @BWaitman. 

Currently, hyperlinks aren't supported on iPads. However, you can follow these alternative steps:

1. Open the Gmail app on your iPad and start composing your email. Instead of typing the display name, type or paste the URL where you want the hyperlink to appear. 
2. Save your email as a Draft. 
3. Go to Drafts and reopen your draft email. You'll notice that the link is now live (blue and underlined). 
4. Type the display name for your hyperlink anywhere inside the live link text.
5. Delete all the blue underlined characters except for the display name.

2. Find the service item you want to change.
3. Select Edit in the Action column.
   
4. Click Change type.
   
5. Choose Non-inventory/inventory.
   
6. Once done, click on Save and Close.

Please let us know if you have other questions or concerns about managing customer payments in QuickBooks, @MelissaCatherine. I'm always here to help you out.

After the customer pays the payment link how do I add it to an existing invoice? or is there an option to request only a portion of the invoice and not the total invoice. 

I'll share information about QuickBooks Payments, @APalozzi.

After your customer clicks the link, they will input their payment details as though they are paying an invoice. Once the payment is made, you will receive a confirmation email as well as a copy of the payment link sent to your email.

It will automatically link to an invoice from the customer. In the event of a partial payment, it will be linked to the oldest open invoice.

Lastly, after your customer submits a payment for the invoice, QuickBooks will handle the payment processing and categorization.
