## Example Use Cases

### Online Transactions

Your shoppers should be able to make online payments and request for refunds, if necessary. Converge has tools that allow you to create hosted payment pages for online sales. Its Back Office UI lets you perform voids, refunds, and even mail or telephone order transactions.

### Payment Links

You want to email links to your shoppers where they could process their payments. Converge lets you do that with payment links. These are links to your hosted payments page that can be either sent using the Converge email template or as a URL that can be pasted on an email. You can set when payment links will expire.

### Recurring Payments

Your subscription service needs to be automatically charged every month. Converge allows you to create plans for this subscription service. In this plan, you can set up the subscription amount and the billing frequency. You can also set up introductory rates for special promotions that your shoppers can subscribe to.
