Each link is unique to the vendor and event, and takes them straight to a secure checkout page. *** ## How to create a payment link 1. **Open your event** and navigate to the **Vendors** tab. 2. **Select the vendor** you want to send a payment link to. 3. **Choose a booth product** from the dropdown. This is the booth type the vendor will be paying for (for example, "Standard Booth" or "Premium Booth"). 4. **Optionally select add-on products.** If your event has add-ons like electricity, Wi-Fi, or extra table space, you can attach them to the payment link. 5. Click **Generate Payment Link**. 6. The link is created and an **email is automatically sent** to the vendor with their personalized checkout link. Once the link is generated, the vendor's pipeline stage updates to **Portal Sent** automatically so you can track who has received their payment link at a glance. > **Tip:** You do not need to copy and paste the link yourself. Vendor Space emails it directly to the vendor's contact address on file. *** ## What the vendor receives The vendor gets an email containing: * The name of your event * Their company name * A secure link to their personalized checkout page They do not need a Vendor Space account to complete their payment. *** ## Resending a payment link If a vendor loses their email or needs a reminder, you can generate a new payment link for them at any time by following the same steps above. The previous link will no longer be valid once a new one is created. > **Tip:** Check the vendor's pipeline stage before resending. If it already shows "Paid," the vendor has already completed checkout. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://vendorspace.gitbook.io/docs/payments/creating-payment-links.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
