How Embedded Payment Links in e-Invoices Can Improve Cash Flow

A New Solution for an Old Cash Flow Problem 

Late payments. Endless invoice chasing. Unpredictable revenue streams. 
For businesses in Malaysia, especially B2B and B2B2C models, these issues are far too common. 

But with Malaysia’s push towards mandatory e-invoicing and fintech innovations like embedded payment links, you now have an opportunity to solve all three problems in one go. 

Fact: Companies using embedded payment links report up to 35% faster collections.​ 

What Is an Embedded Payment Link in an e-Invoice? 

An embedded payment link is a clickable “Pay Now” button or QR code placed directly within your e-invoice. When your customer receives the invoice, they can instantly pay via: 

  • FPX (Online Bank Transfers) 
  • Credit & Debit Cards 
  • BNPL (Buy Now, Pay Later) 
  • e-Wallets (GrabPay, TNG, Boost, ShopeePay) 

No additional logins. No friction. Just fast, secure payments. 

With SwiF’s integrated solution, all of this is automated. Plus you get LHDN compliance, auto-reminders, and real-time tracking built in. 

Discover Flexible Payment Methods

5 Ways Embedded Payment Links Improve Cash Flow 

1. Get Paid Faster 

When you make it easy to pay, customers pay faster. No more bank transfers or email confirmations. Just a click. 

2. Automate Collections and Reminders 

SwiF lets you set invoice due dates and send auto-reminders, reducing late payments without needing manual follow-up. 

3. Better Forecasting and Cash Flow Visibility 

Track payments, view statuses in real time, and predict cash inflows accurately with SwiF’s dashboard.

4. Save Time with Less Admin Work 

Embedded links reduce reconciliation steps and admin costs by automating collections and integrating with your ERP and accounting tools. 

5. Enhance the Customer Experience 

Customers can choose their preferred payment method and complete payment in seconds, boosting satisfaction and repeat purchases. 

Proven Results: Faster Payments, Less Stress 

A mid-sized tech distributor in Kuala Lumpur was facing delays of over 45 days on average for invoice payments. Their finance team was bogged down with manual tracking, email reminders, and reconciliations. 

After switching to SwiF’s e-invoicing with embedded payment links: 

  • 60% of invoices were paid within 10 days. 
  • Auto-reminders reduced manual follow-ups by over 70%. 
  • Their finance team saved an estimated 12 hours per week, reallocating resources to growth initiatives. 
  • Cash flow stabilised, allowing the company to reinvest confidently in inventory and regional expansion. 

This is just one example of how digital payments, when paired with e-invoicing, deliver real business outcomes: faster collections, less admin, and greater financial control. 

Stay Compliant with LHDN and Get Paid Faster 

Malaysia’s Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) has rolled out a phased e-invoicing mandate that will impact all businesses by July 2025

While many see this as just a tax requirement, forward-thinking businesses are turning it into a cash flow optimisation strategy and SwiF helps you do exactly that.
