Batch Payment Link
Batch Payment Link allows you to create up to 100 different payment links with a single Excel file upload. Similar to a bulk upload, Batch Payment Links can help you save time and effort when generating invoices for your customers. This feature is useful as you do not have to manually create invoices 1 by 1 for many customers.
