Create Payment Link

To create a new payment link:

Create Payment Links
Fields Description
Customer Name Select the customer for whom you are creating the payment link.
Payment Amount Enter the amount that you want to request from the customer.
Link Expiration Date Select the date on which the payment link should expire. By default, this will be 15 days from the date of creating the link. Once expired, the payment link cannot be accessed.
Description Enter a short note on why you’re collecting this payment. This will be visible to your customers in the payment page.

Once you’ve created the payment link, a shortened URL and an automated Reference # will be generated for the link.

You can share the payment link with your customer through an email, requesting them to pay you online. Here’s how:
