Fastlink is the easiest way for customers to buy a public transit ticket.

We recommend using the Mobility Wallet with Fastlink, but you can also use your Ticket APP.

Overview

Fastlink has only 6 Main Pages that are relevant for you and your Customer.

  • Referrer Page - Create and edit your Referrer for your specific purpose.
  • Product Page - Your customers can select their desired product.
  • Checkout Page - Your customers can pay for the product.
  • Payment Success Page - This page is only relevant if you don't skip to your app after payment. It shows the payment result.
  • Subscription Management Page - This page is only for subscription tickets. Customers can use it to change payments or cancel subscriptions.
  • Restore Ticket Page - This page is only for subscription tickets. Customers can use this page to restore their tickets.

Customer Path

Setup

Step 1 - Create an Account on Fastlink

Go to fastlink.themobilitybox.com and click on Sign-up / Login.

Step 2 - Create your Referral Link

Click on Create NEW Link.

We recommend creating a Test link for implementation first.

With the Test link, you can pay and test the integration without any real cost

Step 3 - Configure your Link

Select the products that should be available for your customers.

And click the "Update Products" Button to save your selection.

Step 4 - Implement the link on your site. (The next section explains how to do this.)

Custom Ticket APP

Step 1 - Create your Ticket APP in Fastlink

Go to Referrer Site

Click on "Create New APP"

Step 2 - Configure your APP
  1. First you should give your APP a Name

  2. Afterwards maybe you want to set a Description for it

  3. The next step is to set a URL. This should be the full URL of your ticket app, where users can import a Mobilitybox coupon into your app. For example: https://mobilitywallet.themobilitybox.com/mobility_wallet/add_coupons
  4. We add the coupon IDs to this address in the `mobilitybox_coupon_ids` parameter. Looks then like this: https://mobilitywallet.themobilitybox.com/mobility_wallet/add_coupons?mobilitybox_coupon_ids=mobilitybox-coupon-1234567 Multiple coupon IDs will separate with a URI-encoded comma.
  5. Finally, you can select a screenshot of your app to be displayed after the payment confirmation. And click "Submit".

Step 3 - Choose your preferred APP for a specific referrer

Go to the referrer and click "Options"

Choose your created APP and click "Update Referrer"

Disable Email Notifications

Fastlink automatically sends an email to Apple Pay users after a successful ticket purchase, and users can also send an email to themselves to receive ticket details. If you wish to turn off this feature, follow these steps:

Step 1 - Select Your Referrer

Go to fastlink.themobilitybox.com/referrers and select your Referrer

Step 2 - Disable Email Notifications

Click on "Options" and check the checkbox for "Disable Email Notifications".

Finally, click "Update Referrer" to save your changes.
