Payment Link

This feature enables business owners who do not own websites receive single or recurring payments from their customers.

We have two types of Payment Links:

  • Single Charge- a payment link where you can receive one time payments from customers
  • Subscription Link - a payment link where you can create a charge cycle, and when a customer agrees and pays, their card is debited at the agreed number of times and interval. This is very useful for subscription based payments.

The payment link can be published or unpublished. It is published at creation.

Single Payment Link

You can create a fixed amount when creating a payment link, so that whenever a customer tries to pay you, they can only pay you the exact amount. This is useful for scenarios where you're creating a link that is tied to a product, an invoice, or generally trying to collect payments for customers that must be equal to a particular amount.

We also support dynamic amount options when creating your payment link. Whenever a customer tries to pay you, they can specify the amount they are paying. It is essential for scenarios where you're creating a link for donation.
