When a customer's card on file needs updating or adding, you can send them a secure link to do it themselves by email or text. The link works for 24 hours after it's created.
- Open the customer's profile from Customers > Customer List.
- In the Payment Method section, select the menu (the three dots in the top-right corner), then choose Send Card Update Link.
- Pick a delivery method: Email or SMS.
- Check the contact details:
- Email (or phone number, for SMS): confirm or edit where the link goes.
- Address as: the name the message greets the customer by.
- (Optional) Add a personal note. It appears in the message above the update button.
- Review the Preview, then select Send Email (or Send SMS).
Note: The link expires 24 hours after it's created. If it lapses before the customer uses it, just send a new one.
What the customer sees
The customer gets a short message from your business with a secure Update payment method button. Selecting it opens a page where they enter their new card details. Once they save, the card on file updates on its own — there's nothing more for you to do.
Where the message comes from
By default, the link sends from:
- Email: noreply@vinoshipper.com
- SMS: 707-606-0714
If you've connected your own SendGrid account, the email sends from your address instead. See the SendGrid Integration Guide to set that up.
