# Send payment method link

POST https://integrators.prod.api.tabsplatform.com/v3/customers/{id}/payment-method-link

Emails your customer's primary billing contact a secure link to manage their saved payment methods — view, add, set a default, or remove a card or bank account. This is the same link the "Send link" button in your dashboard sends.

The link is time-limited, and each call sends a fresh one. The response tells you which address it went to and how long it stays valid.
