Payment links are shareable URLs that let customers pay you directly - no checkout integration or POS device needed. Configure each link with a fixed, suggested, or flexible amount and share it anywhere.
Only admins with Merchant Admin or Initiator & Approver roles can create and manage payment links.

​
Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:
  • Admin access to your Bila dashboard
  • At least one active wallet to receive funds

Click the + New Link button at the top right of the page. The Manage Link screen opens.
