The new feature "Pay By Link" can be used to start a payment in Business Central and and send the payment link to the customer via email. After a successful payment the sales order can be used as usual.
This feature can currently be used via Adyen (PayByLink) or Klarna (Klarna Checkout).
Activation and setup
To enable "Pay By Link," activate the "Start Payment in BC" option in the collana pay Setup, similar to the invoice payment setup. Once enabled, a payment can be initiated by releasing a sales order without a collana pay transaction GUID.
New fields and options
Enabling "Start Payment in BC" adds new fields to the "Transaction" page in Business Central. These fields provide advanced options and information for managing and tracking the payment process.
After the payment has been made by the customer, the fields are filled automatically.

Sending the payment link
When the collana pay status is "Reserve Pending," a payment link can be sent to the customer using a button on the "collana pay Transaction" page. Currently, email sending is manual, allowing customization of the mailing process to meet specific requirements.
Customizable e-mail reports
A new report selection for collana pay has been created for email communication related to the "Pay by Link" feature. New installations default to the Cronus template, while existing installations must create a custom email layout. This allows customization of email reports to align with company branding and communication needs.
