What are Payment Links?

Payment Links are unique URLs that lead customers directly to a payment page where they can complete a purchase. They’re ideal for:
  • Social Media Sales: Share links on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook
  • Email Marketing: Include in newsletters and promotional emails
  • Quick Sales: Generate links on-the-fly for customers
  • Offline Transactions: Create links during phone calls or in-person meetings
  • Recurring Payments: Set up subscription links for ongoing services
Payment Links are automatically generated and can be customized with your branding, pre-filled customer information, and specific payment amounts.
