What is payment link extraction?
Payment link extraction is a feature that automatically identifies and extracts payment URLs from your documents. These are HTTP/HTTPS links that direct users to payment transaction pages.
The payment_links field outputs payment URLs from invoices and documents, enabling direct integration between document processing and payment execution.
This eliminates manual URL copying, reduces errors, and accelerates payment processing for Bill Pay and AP Automation providers.

Text in documents
QR codes and barcodes
