Pay by link

   Setting	Description
   Payment type	Choose from two options. One-phase – after the payment has been made, no additional actions are required on your part. Two-phase – after the client has confirmed the payment, you must complete the payment in your Personal Area. Before you do this, the money will be held (reserved) on the client's account until you confirm the payment or until the confirmation period expires. If you confirm the payment, the money will be transferred to your account. The reserved funds on client's account will be released if the reservation period expires before confirmation.

If the client selects this check box, a credential will be stored after the payment is completed, and the client will not have to enter the card data next time.
   Description	Free-form description of the payment.
   Enter the amount	Enter the payment amount here. If the order contains a shopping cart, the field value is populated automatically.
