What is a PayLink?

A PayLink is a versatile tool that allows businesses to accept payments easily and securely through a unique web link or QR code. Learn how PayLinks can streamline your payment process and enhance customer convenience.

A PayLink is a simple yet powerful tool that allows businesses to easily receive payments from their clients. Essentially, a PayLink is a unique web link or QR code that can be shared via email, on your website, or even through social media. When your customers click on this link, they are directed to a customized secure payment gateway where they can enter the payment amount and complete the transaction with the payment methods selected by the merchant.

TIP: When creating a PayLink, merchants can choose whether the transaction amount is fixed or entered by the customer, as well as select which payment methods are accepted (credit cards and/or ACH/EFT).
