- Select the new expiration date in the pop-up.
- Click Update & Generate Link.
- A new link with the updated expiration date will be generated.
- Click Copy Link to copy this new link.
Insight: If you are changing the expiration date of a payment link that has been sent to your customer, then you’ll have to send this payment link to your customer again, since the URL would have changed.
Cancel Payment Link
If you don’t want to accept payment using a particular link, but would like to retain the link for record-keeping purposes, you can just cancel that payment link. Once canceled, the payment link will become invalid and your customer cannot pay you using it. You cannot re-activate a canceled link.
