# Send a card payment link

> Generate the link where the student pays by credit card, and understand why the enrollment has a single installment.

## What you will get

A link you send to the student, where they pay by credit card. The link appears
on the screen right after you generate it, and the student also gets it by
email.

## Before the steps, understand the installment

**A card enrollment has one single installment.** It carries the full amount of
the course and has no due date.

This tends to alarm anyone opening such an enrollment for the first time and
seeing a single high-value row. It is not a mistake. The instalment plan does
exist, but it happens on the student's card statement — the card issuer splits
it, not the school. For the school it is a single charge, and the money arrives
in one go.

## Step by step

**1. Open the student's enrollment**, under **Contracts › Enrollments**.

**2. Scroll down to the installments panel.** You will see a single row.

*A single row, the full amount, and an empty DUE DAY column. It is not a mistake: that is how a card enrollment is born.*

**3. Click the three dots** at the end of the row, in the **ACTIONS** column.

**4. Click Card Link.**

## How to tell it worked

> [certo]
> The link appears at the top of the screen right after you generate it, ready
> to copy. The **CHARGE** column on the installment starts showing a link, and
> the student receives the same address by email.

Copy the link while it is on screen: if you navigate away it is still reachable
through the **CHARGE** column, but it takes more clicks to find.

## If something goes wrong

> [erro]
> **The menu has no Card Link.** Either the enrollment does not use cards — in
> which case the menu offers the method it does use — or the link was already
> generated before, and the **CHARGE** column already shows it.
>
> **The student says the card was declined.** The decline happens at the
> student's bank, and the school does not get the reason. Ask them to try
> another card through the same link. The link stays valid.
>
> **The student paid and the installment is still open.** Wait a few minutes.
> The bank's confirmation is not instant.
