What's a PayNow Email Link?
Allow your customers to pay an invoice quickly via a Pay Now button from invoices you have emailed to them. We'll show you how to add a new Pay Now button to either ConnectWise Manage or Datto Autotask PSA.
How do I get there?
To configure your Email Links, click Configure from the top menu and select Merchants
What do I do?
This configuration is a two-step process:
- Generate the PayNow button from Wise-Pay interface
- Configure PSA invoice email with Email Links details
Generate the PayNow Button
Here's how to do it:
- Navigate to the Email Links tab.
- Choose whether you wish to add the Pay Now button to the email you send to customers, or the invoice itself, by setting the Email Link Type. Note: ConnectWise users will only see the Email type.
- Set the Email Link User.
- Use Email Button options to format the button corners and text.
- Click Generate.
- Click Display and copy HTML to clipboard to paste into your Invoice/Email Template in your PSA.
Warning: Deleting and Disabling Wise-Sync User
You are currently unable to delete Wise-Sync users who are allocated to a merchant email link proxy configuration. If you wish to remove or disable a Wise-Sync user, you can do this by navigating to 'Users', click on the relevant username, then clicking on the 'Disable Account' button at the bottom of the screen.
In the instance where a Wise-Sync user has been disabled and this user is also assigned to a Wise-Pay Proxy, the Wise-Pay Proxy will be made inactive. This means, your customers will be unable to use that email link proxy. If a new email link proxy needs to be configured use the steps above.

Insert the HTML into ConnectWise Invoice Template
