Overview

Payment Links provide a flexible and secure solution for accepting payments and tokenizing cards through shareable links. Whether you need to collect payments or securely store customer payment methods for future use, Payment Links offer two distinct functionalities through a unified API.

Create payment links for immediate transactions with predefined configurations. This is particularly useful for:

  • Invoice payments
  • One-time purchases
  • Event ticket sales
  • Service bookings

Generate secure links that allow customers to save their payment information for future use. This is particularly useful for:

  • Subscription setup
  • Card-on-file scenarios
  • Recurring payment setup
  • Customer onboarding
