# Create payment link

`POST /processing-terminals/{processingTerminalId}/payment-links`

Use this method to create a payment link that a customer can use to make a payment for goods or services.  

The request includes the following settings:
- **type** - Indicates whether the link can be used only once or if it can be used multiple times.
- **authType** - Indicates whether the transaction is a sale or a pre-authorization.
- **paymentMethod** - Indicates the payment methods that the merchant accepts.
- **charge** - Indicates whether the merchant or the customer enters the amount for the transaction.  

If your request is successful, our gateway returns a paymentLinkId, which you can use to perform follow-on actions.  

**Note:** To share the payment link with a customer, use our [Share Payment Link](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/payment-links/sharing-events/share) method.
