# Payment Links

Reference for the payment link endpoints, covering how to create, share, update, retrieve, list, and deactivate a payment link that a customer uses to pay for goods or services.

Use our Payment Links endpoints to create a payment link that a merchant can share with a customer. The customer then uses the link to open a payment page that they use to pay for goods or services.

Integrate with our [Create Payment Link](/api/create-payment-link) method to create and configure a payment link. When our gateway receives a successful request, it creates a payment link and returns a paymentLinkId that you use to complete follow-on actions:

- [Share a link](/api/share-payment-link) - Email a payment link to one or more customers.
- [Update a link](/api/update-payment-link) - Update a payment link, for example, its expiration date.
- [Retrieve a link](/api/retrieve-payment-link) - Retrieve the details of a payment link.
- [List payment links](/api/list-payment-links) - Retrieve a paginated list of payment links for a processing terminal.
- [List a link's sharing events](/api/list-payment-link-share-events) - Retrieve a paginated list of the times a merchant has shared a payment link.
- [Deactivate a link](/api/deactivate-payment-link) - Deactivate a payment link.

**Note:** If a customer has made a payment using a payment link, you can use our [Card Payments](/api/resources/card-payments) endpoints or our [Bank Transfer Payments](/api/resources/bank-transfer-payments) endpoints to manage the payment.
