Accept Payments with Payment Links

What Are Payment Links

A payment link is a URL that takes a customer directly to a secure, hosted payment page. You create the link with a specific amount (or let the customer enter their own), share it through any channel, and the customer pays in a few clicks. No shopping cart, no checkout integration, no website needed.

Payment links are ideal for service businesses, freelancers, donations, deposits, and any scenario where you need to collect a payment without building an e-commerce site.

Use Cases for Payment Links

• Send an invoice via email with a "Pay Now" link
• Text a payment link to a customer after completing a service call
• Share a donation link on social media
• Embed a QR code on printed materials that opens a payment page
• Collect deposits or retainers from new clients

Payment links support one-time payments, recurring payments, and custom amounts. You can create them from a dashboard, API, or mobile app.

Branding and Customization

Hosted payment pages can be branded with your logo, colors, and business information. This creates a professional, trustworthy experience for the customer. You can also add custom fields to collect information like order numbers, project names, or appointment details.

Advanced payment links include expiration dates, usage limits, and automatic receipt emails. All data flows into your standard reporting and invoicing dashboard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a website to use payment links?

No. Payment links work without a website. You share a URL via email, text, social media, or QR code, and the customer pays on a secure hosted page.

How much do payment links cost?

There is no additional fee for creating payment links. You pay standard processing rates on each transaction, typically interchange-plus pricing through our partner network.

Can I customize the payment page?

Yes. You can add your logo, brand colors, business name, and custom fields. The hosted page looks professional and builds trust with your customers.

Are payment links secure?

Yes. Payment links use the same PCI-compliant, SSL-encrypted infrastructure as standard payment gateways. Card data is tokenized and never stored on your systems.

Can I create recurring payment links?

Yes. You can create links for one-time payments, subscriptions, or payment plans. The customer enters their payment method once and is charged on the schedule you set.
