What are Payment Links?
Payment Links are secure URLs generated by a Payment Gateway that allow businesses to collect payments online. Instead of integrating a checkout page into a website or mobile application, merchants simply create a payment link and send it directly to customers.
Customers click the payment link, review the payment amount, choose their preferred payment method, complete the payment, and instantly receive a payment confirmation.
How Payment Links Work
- Create a Payment Link from the Merchant Dashboard or API.
- Enter the payment amount and order details.
- Share the link via WhatsApp, SMS, Email, or Social Media.
- The customer opens the secure payment page.
- Selects a preferred payment method.
- Completes the payment securely.
- Merchant receives instant payment confirmation.
- The customer receives a digital payment receipt.
