I can't get Payment links to work
If you try to create or use an online terminal for payment link too early, you may see the error message:
TM_0029: Terminal registration failure
This happens because the online store setup hasn’t been fully completed yet on our side. Don’t worry, it’s only temporary.
How to fix it
- Wait a few minutes after finishing your setup, then try again.
- If the issue persists after 10–15 minutes, reach out to Surfboard Support and we’ll check the status of your activation.
Good to know
- You can absolutely use payment links to send one-off or down payment requests — no website integration is needed.
- Once your online store is activated, you’ll be able to generate and share payment links instantly with your clients.
