A Flywire payment request is the payment form you create before making a payment through Flywire.
When you create a payment request, Flywire generates:
- A unique Payment ID
- Payment instructions for your selected payment method
- A tracking page for your payment
Flywire uses the payment request and Payment ID to identify your funds and deliver them to the correct institution or organization.
Do I need a new payment request for each payment?
Yes. You need to create a new payment request for each payment you make through Flywire.
Each payment request has its own Payment ID and payment instructions. This helps Flywire match your funds to the correct payment.
Note: Do not reuse payment instructions or a Payment ID from a previous payment. Reusing old payment details may delay your payment or prevent Flywire from matching your funds correctly.
When should I create a new payment request?
Create a new payment request when:
- You are making a new payment
- You need to pay a different amount
- You want to use a different payment method
- Your previous payment request was cancelled or expired
- Your institution or organization asks you to create a new payment
What happens after I create a payment request?
After you create a payment request, Flywire will show the next steps for your selected payment method.
You will also receive a confirmation email with your payment details and tracking link.
