# Custom Billing Links

**Your billing link is a unique URL that takes your customers directly to your branded payment portal, where they can view and pay outstanding invoices.**

***

## What Is a Billing Link?

A billing link is a unique URL assigned to your Alternative Payments account. When a customer clicks it, they land on your white-labeled payment portal -- branded with your company name and logo -- where they can see all their open invoices and make payments using ACH, credit card, or Pay in Installments.

Every partner account gets a billing link once onboarding is complete.

***

## Where to Find Your Billing Link

Your billing link is displayed in your Partner Dashboard under **Accounts Receivable > Invoices**, in the header area at the top of the page. You can copy it directly from there.

***

## Three Ways to Share Your Billing Link

1. **Send invoices through Alternative Payments** -- When you send an invoice notification through the platform, your billing link is included automatically. Customers click through to the portal to pay.
2. **Add it to your existing invoices** -- Paste the billing link into the invoices you already send from your PSA or accounting software. Customers click the link to pay through your portal instead of mailing a check or calling in a card number.
3. **Website pay button** -- Add your billing link to a "Pay Now" button on your company website so customers can access the portal any time without searching for an email.

## Portal Branding

Your payment portal can be customized with your company logo, colors, and branding to provide a seamless experience for your customers. To learn more about white-labeling options, see: [White-Labeling Your Portal](https://github.com/getalternative/docs/blob/main/help-center/getting-started/account-set-up-and-configuration/white-labeling-your-portal.md)
