Pin Payments includes a ready–made secure payment page that makes it easy for customers to pay you, and the option for you to pass on the processing fees with an automatic surcharge.
By default your Payment Page allows your customer to specify the amount they pay. In many situations, you'll want to customise your payment page with a specific amount and description for customers.

The Payment Page link can be customised with additional parameters; including amount, currency, and description. This gives you a simple way to make links to collect payment for specific items or services.
You can set any of these parameters from your Payment Page dashboard:
amount
value to chargecurrency
currency to chargedescription
description for the chargesuccess_url
page to redirect to after successful chargeamount_editable
set to false to disable changes to the amount fieldVideo
For more flexibility, you can specify up to three custom fields for your Payment Page. Custom field information is stored on the Charge metadata, and can be viewed on your dashboard.

If you have already collected information from the customer—such as their email or billing address—you can add the following parameters to the Payment Page link to prefill the respective fields, making the payment process even more seamless:
email
The customer’s email addressaddress_line1
The first line of the customer’s addressaddress_line2
The second line of the customer’s addressaddress_city
The customer’s cityaddress_state
The customer’s stateaddress_postcode
The customer’s postcodeaddress_country

When configuring your Payment Page link in your Pin Payments dashboard, you also have the option to enable surcharging and pass on the cost of processing the transaction to your customer.
This surcharge is calculated to exactly cover Pin Payments card processing fees for the transaction, ensuring you receive the full original amount requested when we settle the funds to your bank account.
Surcharging is enabled by adding /sc
to your payment page link, immediately following your four character payment page path:
The easiest way to take secure payments on your website is to add a Payment Button.
The Payment Button guide covers customising the payment settings and button appearance code, which can then be embedded on your website.
Your customers can then use these Payment Buttons to securely pay you on your website.
