Prerequisites
- Finion Pay must be active. Here you can learn how to activate Finion Pay.
- Permission: Settings / Resources / Roles / Create, regenerate, and deactivate Fast-Finance Link in member account
Note on the May 2026 relaunch: The Fast-Finance Link no longer depends on MySports. Configuration now happens directly in your Finion Pay settings.
Configuration path
Settings / Finion Financial Solutions / Finion Pay / Fast Finance Link
The overview page shows all Fast-Finance Links configured for your studio. You can:
- maintain multiple Fast-Finance Links side by side, for example with different configurations per studio whitelist
- set each link to Active or Inactive
- create a new link via Create Fast Finance Link in the top right corner
Click a link in the list to open its detailed configuration. The configuration is split into three areas: Enabled functions, Communication, and Styling and color configuration.
Enabled functions
In this area you decide which steps the Fast-Finance Link supports and which payment methods members may use.
Active steps and their order:
- Settle open claims → Update payment method: The member first settles all open claims and is then prompted to update their payment method. (recommended)
- Settle open claims only: The link is used solely to settle open claims.
- Update payment method → Settle open claims: The member first stores a new payment method and can then settle any open claims.
- Update payment method only: The link only updates the payment method on the member account.
- Disabled: The link offers no functionality when opened.
Available payment methods: Choose which payment methods are offered in the update flow — cash, bank transfer, direct debit, or credit card. For direct debit and credit card, the member enters their payment details directly in the flow.
Members can update their payment method: Here you decide when the link is available to members for updating their payment method:
- Always: Members can update their payment method via the link at any time.
- Only if no valid payment method is on file: Members can update their payment method only if no payment method is currently on file or the existing payment method is invalid (for example, after a chargeback).
Changes require studio approval: When active, the studio must approve every change via a task before it takes effect.
Online payment fee: The percentage members pay on top when paying online. Default is 0%.
Direct debit mandate signature required (SEPA / ACH only): When active, the member must sign the mandate inside the flow.
Reset entrance restrictions after successful change: If the member completes the flow successfully and has an entrance restriction, it can be removed automatically — the studio then charges the member in the next payment run and the member can continue training.
Reset only if dunning level is …: Entrance restrictions are removed only if the member's dunning level meets the conditions configured in the studio.
Communication
In the Communication area you connect the Fast-Finance Link with your templates and notification rules.
Template for manual sendout in member account: From the member account you can send the member an email with the Fast-Finance Link. Select the invalid-payment-method template here (template name depends on your studio configuration).
Use by the chatbot: With the Fast Finance Link capability enabled in the chatbot configuration, MagicAI Chat also uses this same template for automated sends. See Setting up MagicAI Chat for details.
Notification rule status: Activate the rule for invalidated contract payment methods so that members are notified automatically when events such as chargebacks occur.
To activate the rule:
- Open Communication / Notification rules.
- Set the status to Active.
- Click Add notification rule in the top right corner and select the matching event.
Communication template: Select the email template used for outgoing notifications.
Placeholders in templates: The placeholders #FastFinanceLink and #FastFinanceLinkQrCode can be used in templates without further configuration. Use the placeholder as a hyperlink behind any link text to avoid long URLs in the message.
Styling and color configuration
With the May 2026 relaunch, you can adapt every Fast-Finance Link to your studio branding. All colors are entered as hex values (for example, #181D1E). The configuration is split into five areas:

- Studio header background color

Dynamic notices for members
The relaunched Fast-Finance Link automatically shows your members context-aware information directly in the payment flow. These notices are generated by the system and cannot be configured individually. Members always know which action is required:
- If an entrance restriction is active, that is communicated clearly.
- If a new payment method is required, the member is told specifically.
Actions in the member account
In the Payment methods area of the member account, you can open the Fast-Finance Link from the context menu of the payment method tile. There you can:
- view the configuration
- send a template email to the member
- copy the link or the QR code
- deactivate or regenerate the link for an individual member
- jump directly to the settings, if you have permission
Create payment link: This action creates a link for settling open claims only. You can either offer all open claims or select individual ones. The action is visible when all three conditions are met:
- Payment is enabled in the link settings
- Finion Pay is active in the studio
- You have permission for the Fast-Finance Link
Payment link for invoices
You can also create a payment link for individual invoices via the context menu. The same visibility conditions apply as for open claims.
