GoHighLevel Payment Links Guide
If you use ClickUp or other project tools to manage work and need a simple way to collect payments, GoHighLevel payment links let you share a secure URL so clients can pay invoices online without logging into a portal.
This step-by-step guide explains how to enable payment links, customize them, and send them to clients from inside GoHighLevel.
What Are GoHighLevel Payment Links?
Payment links in GoHighLevel are unique URLs connected to a specific invoice. When your client opens the link, they see a hosted payment page where they can view invoice details and pay using your connected payment processor.
You can:
- Create a payment link from an invoice
- Share the link via email, SMS, or chat
- Allow clients to pay without a login
- Track payments directly in your GoHighLevel account
These links are useful when you want a fast, frictionless way to collect one-time payments or invoice balances.
Prerequisites for Using GoHighLevel Payment Links
Before you can generate and use payment links, make sure the following requirements are met inside GoHighLevel:
- You have access to the Invoices feature in your account
- You have set up at least one supported payment provider (for example, Stripe or another gateway offered in your sub-account)
- Your user permissions allow invoice creation and editing
Once these basics are ready, you can start creating payment links for any invoice you issue from your sub-account.
How to Create a GoHighLevel Payment Link
Follow the steps below to generate a payment link for an invoice inside your GoHighLevel sub-account.
Step 1: Open the Invoices Area in GoHighLevel
- Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
- Go to the appropriate Sub-Account where the client and invoice are stored.
- From the left-hand menu, navigate to the Payments or Invoices section (depending on your interface version).
You will see a list of all invoices associated with that sub-account.
Step 2: Choose or Create an Invoice
- Find the invoice you want to get paid for using a payment link.
- If the invoice already exists, click to open it.
- If you do not have an invoice yet, create a new one by clicking the New Invoice or similar button and filling in:
- Client details
- Line items and pricing
- Taxes or discounts if applicable
- Due date and payment terms
Save the invoice when finished so you can proceed to the payment link options.
Step 3: Enable or Generate the GoHighLevel Payment Link
With the invoice open, locate the controls for the payment link. The exact placement can vary slightly based on interface updates, but in general you will:
- Look for a section or toggle labeled Payment Link, Share Link, or similar.
- Turn on or generate the payment link for the selected invoice.
- Copy the generated URL from the field provided.
This URL is your GoHighLevel payment link and will open a hosted payment page unique to this invoice.
Sending GoHighLevel Payment Links to Clients
Once you have created a payment link, you can share it with your client using any communication channel you prefer.
Common Ways to Share a GoHighLevel Payment Link
- Email: Paste the link into an email message so the client can click and pay.
- SMS: Send the link by text message directly from GoHighLevel if SMS is enabled in your account.
- Chat or Messenger: Share the link via your usual messaging apps.
- Invoice PDF or message: Include the link inside invoice-related communication templates.
Always remind clients that the link is unique to their invoice and that they should keep it secure.
Client Experience When Using a GoHighLevel Payment Link
When your client clicks the payment link:
- They are redirected to a secure payment page hosted by GoHighLevel (and your connected payment processor).
- They can review invoice details such as items, total amount, and due date.
- They enter their payment information using the methods you have enabled (e.g., card payments).
- After submitting, they see a confirmation that the payment has been recorded.
The invoice status inside your sub-account updates automatically according to the payment that was made.
Managing and Editing GoHighLevel Payment Links
In many cases, the payment link is managed from the invoice itself. Typical options include:
- Turning the payment link on or off
- Copying the link again if you need to resend it
- Editing invoice details that appear on the payment page
If you update the invoice amount or terms, the next time the client loads the same GoHighLevel payment link, they will see the latest information based on your changes.
Security and Best Practices for GoHighLevel Payment Links
To use payment links safely and effectively:
- Only share payment links with the intended client contact.
- Avoid posting links publicly on social media or open websites.
- Use clear descriptions in your messages so clients know what the link is for.
- Verify that your payment provider settings are configured correctly in GoHighLevel.
Because the link is directly tied to a specific invoice, it should be treated like any other sensitive payment information.
Troubleshooting GoHighLevel Payment Links
If you or your client run into issues, consider the following checks:
- Link not working: Confirm the invoice is active and the link is enabled.
- Payment declined: Ask the client to check with their bank or payment card provider.
- Invoice not updating: Refresh your GoHighLevel invoice page and verify the payment reached your processor.
- Access problems: Ensure the client is using the latest version of their browser and has a stable internet connection.
You can also compare your setup with the official documentation to ensure your configuration matches current platform requirements.
