Deadline-aligned sharing
End the redirect when the quotation, deposit request, or promotional period ends.
LINKTIMER GUIDE
Create a temporary redirect for a payment or quotation link
LinkTimer can retire a shared redirect to a hosted payment page after a deadline or confirmed-open limit. This is useful for quotations, deposits, event payments, and limited offers where the shared route should not stay active indefinitely.
What this option gives you
Fallback after expiry
Eligible access can send late visitors to an updated offer or contact page.
Destination transparency
Visitors see the payment provider's hostname before continuing.
Practical use cases
Quotations
Share a payment route that aligns with the validity period of a written quotation.
Event deposits
Retire a deposit or booking link after capacity or the payment window closes.
Flash offers
Stop routing to a promotional checkout after the advertised deadline.
Invoice follow-up
Use a managed redirect that can be paused while the original invoice remains under the provider's control.
How it works
Create the hosted payment page
Use your authorized payment provider or invoicing platform.
Paste its URL into LinkTimer
Choose the desired expiry and confirmed-open rules.
Manage the payment separately
Cancel, refund, or disable the actual payment page in the payment provider when required.
Important limitation
LinkTimer does not process payments, validate prices, cancel invoices, prevent payment through the original URL, or replace the payment provider's fraud and authentication controls.
Frequently asked questions
Does LinkTimer collect card details?
No. The visitor continues to the external payment provider; LinkTimer does not host the checkout.
Does expiring the redirect cancel the invoice?
No. Manage the invoice or payment page inside its original platform.
Can late visitors go somewhere else?
Eligible owners can configure a fallback contact, updated offer, or explanation page.
Should the destination use HTTPS?
Yes. LinkTimer accepts public HTTP or HTTPS URLs, but payment destinations should use a reputable HTTPS provider.
