Turn Every Email Into a Fast, Secure Payment
Coastal Pay’s email invoicing sends branded invoices with a single “Pay Now” button. Customers click once and land on a secure, Coastal Pay-hosted checkout page with no card data passing through your email server.
Payment links work the same way for one-time payments, deposits, retainers, and variable amounts, without requiring a full e-commerce checkout build. Every link supports cards, ACH bank debit, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, PayPal, and more in a single flow, so customers pay the way they prefer and you collect faster.
How It Works
- Create an invoice or payment link in the Coastal Pay Gateway dashboard
- Add the amount, description, customer details, and due date
- Email the invoice or copy the link to share via text, CRM, or your own billing system
- Customer clicks “Pay Now,” selects their preferred payment method, and completes payment on Coastal Pay’s secure hosted page
- Payment status updates in the dashboard and syncs to your connected accounting or ERP system
Built-In Security and Compliance You Can Trust
Every Coastal Pay payment link and email invoice routes to a PCI-compliant hosted checkout page. Card data is tokenized at capture, encrypted in transit (TLS), and stored in a secure vault. Your customers never share card numbers over email – payment happens entirely within Coastal Pay’s secure environment.
- PCI-compliant hosted pages: Card data never touches your email server or website
- Tokenization: Cards are vaulted as tokens for recurring invoices and card-on-file billing
- Fraud controls: AVS, CVV verification, velocity rules, and device fingerprinting
- Bank-level security: Backed by Wells Fargo and Axiom Bank as a registered ISO/MSP
