About settings for payment links
Settings for Square Payment Links enable you to customise how your links look and work when customers receive them.
Before you begin
You can customise payment link settings from Square Dashboard.
General settings

Note: Apple Pay will only appear if you’re using Safari as your web browser.

Customers can always change or remove the amount at checkout.
- The Smart tips option shows either percentage or whole amounts depending on the final amount of the order. Orders under €10 enable tipping in whole amounts, and orders over €10 enable tipping in percentages.
