Point of Sale Pay by Link (PBL) Overview

Point of Sale's POS app offers Pay by Link functionality with two distinct payment flows. The In-Store Payment flow lets customers pay right away by scanning a QR code with their phone. The Remote Payment flow lets customers get an email link to pay later. Both payment flows are supported by Adyen and Verifone payment gateway terminals.
