# Payment Links

Explains how to use Payment Links to create a hosted payment page that a merchant can share with a customer

An AI skill is available for this guide, get it on the [Skills Marketplace (GitHub)](https://github.com/payroc/skills).

Use our Payment Links solution to create a payment link that a merchant can share with a customer. The customer uses the payment link to open a payment page that we host.

You can configure a payment link to do the following actions:

- Take a single payment or multiple payments from one or more customers.
- Run a sale or a pre-authorization.
- Accept card payments, bank transfers, or both.
- Set a fixed payment amount or ask the customer to enter the amount.

## How it works

After a merchant creates a payment link and shares it with a customer, our gateway sends the link to the customer by email. The customer selects the link to open a hosted payment page, where they submit their payment details.
