Generating a Print Reach Pay Payment Link Follow

When an invoice is ready for payment, or if you require payment before starting a job, an email
message with a payment link can be generated from Printer’s Plan. This payment link will direct
the customer to the hosted payment page where they will be able to enter a payment.

Sending an Email with a Payment Link

The following example illustrates how an email generated from Printer’s Plan can include a
payment link. In Printer’s Plan open a job that is ready for payment and click the Email Form
Letter button if you do not want to include a PDF or click the Print & Email. First, you will need to customize your email messages so they include your payment link

Updating the Payment Link on Email Templates

Email templates that include a link (or button) to pay must be updated to include the address of
your Print Reach Pay hosted payment page.

For example, on the Job Payment Request Print Reach Pay email template, the initial payment
link on the template will look like this:

https://printreachcentral.com/[SiteName]/hpp?application=printersplan

On this template, edit the [SiteName] text of this link to include the address of your Hosted
Payment Page. The updated link will look similar to the following:

https://printreachcentral.com/bestprint/hpp?application=printersplan

Repeat this change for each of the email templates.

By default, the payment link on the email templates will capture data from the Printer’s Plan job
and populate this information on the hosted payment page. This helps reduce the amount of data
the customer will need to enter when making an online payment. Listed below is a description of
the job fields that are part of the payment link. You will use Variable data described below this list to fill that data:

• customerID= (*required) -- Customer number on the job.
• invoiceID= (*required) -- Printer’s Plan Job number.
• tax= (*required) -- Tax amount of the job.
• subtotal= (*required) -- Sum of the job’s subtotal, discount, shipping, postage, and paid fields.
• totaldue= (*required) -- The current balance due on the job. This amount must equal the sum of
  the subtotal and tax fields.

(the following fields in the payment link are optional)

• name= Bill To Company Name.
• address1=Bill To Address 1.
• address2 = Bill To Address 2.
• city= Bill To City.
• state=Bill to State.
• zip= Bill to Zip.
• country=Bill to Country.
• emailaddress= Email Address.
• phone= Phone Number.
• paymentmethod=  ACH or CC.

For a listing of additional data fields that can be populated in the email message please review
the Email Help - PrintReachPay.txt file. This help file resides in the email folder on the server
computer. HTML formatted email templates are designed to work with the Printer’s Plan SMTP
client, results may vary when using a third-party email client.

Additionally, the 2021 update of Printer’s Plan includes the ability to create Formula Fields on an
email template. This feature will allow you to send partial payment requests. For example, you
can send an email asking for a 50% deposit before starting production on a job. Instructions on
how to use the formula fields on an email template can be found in the following Knowledge
Base article: Formula Fields on Email Templates

Print & Email

We will need to set up two things here.

1. The HTML template for our email.
2. The Document options for our PDF.

Step 1: Typically we recommend copying the "Job Payment Request Print Reach Pay" email and naming it "Invoice - Pay". You can make any changes to the content of that email you want but the name of the file needs to match the name of the Document Title in step 2.

Step 2: Repurpose one of your Invoice Order Documents for use with Print Reach Pay. We can do this by changing the Document Title to the same file name as step 1, in our example we used "Invoice - Pay". This will be the email body that gets used and as long as we include the payment link in the HTML you will get great results. This allows us to have an attached invoice and an HTML email with the payment button.

Once that's configured the "Print and Email" Option will show your new document.

Email Form Letter

A Select a template window will open, in this window select a template that is designed to
include the payment link:

Important!: Make sure email templates that include a link/button to pay are updated with the
