Preview the Customer Experience

Select Open Link from the options menu. The customer-facing payment page opens in a new tab - exactly as your customers see it. The page includes fields for:
  • Amount - pre-filled if Fixed, editable if Flexible or Suggested
  • Phone number - used for payment processing and SMS confirmation
  • Name - the payer’s name for the transaction record
The customer clicks Pay Securely Now to complete the payment.
Preview every new link before sharing it - confirm the amount, description, and payment flow appear exactly as intended from your customer’s perspective.
Bila gives you two ways to share a payment link with customers: Select Copy Link from the options menu. Confirmation: A green toast notification appears - “Payment link copied.” Paste the URL anywhere - WhatsApp, email, Instagram bio, Facebook post, or your website.

​
Download QR

Select Download QR from the options menu. A QR code image is saved to your device. Print it and display it at your physical location - customers scan it to open the payment page directly on their phone.
Select Edit from the options menu. The Manage Link screen opens with all current settings pre-filled. You can update: Once your changes are complete, click Save Changes. Confirmation: A green toast notification appears - “Payment link updated.”
Changing the Payment Configuration or Amount on an active link takes effect immediately. Any customer who opens the link after saving will see the new configuration - notify customers if the amount has changed before resharing the link.

​
Deactivate

Select Deactivate from the options menu to temporarily disable the link. The link status updates to Inactive in your dashboard. Customers who visit the URL cannot complete a payment until you reactivate it via Edit → Active Status → ON.

​
Delete

Select Delete from the options menu to permanently remove the link.
Deleting a payment link is permanent and cannot be undone. All customers who visit the URL after deletion will see an error. If you only need to pause payments temporarily, use Deactivate instead - the link can be reactivated at any time.
