Our Payment Links solution allows a merchant to create a shareable link that directs a customer to a secure hosted payment page. The customer selects the link, completes the payment, and the merchant receives the funds, with no website or checkout integration needed. Payment links are ideal for a wide range of use cases, including invoices, donations, one-off purchases, bill payments, and any scenario where businesses need to request and receive payments quickly and reliably. ![Payment Links solution image](https://files.buildwithfern.com/https://payroc.docs.buildwithfern.com/01f27b76cd8df5230e9d5522743e71218d1c7dffa09a38ebafd2747288f63d17/docs/sections/solutions/images/payment-links-solution.png) ## Key capabilities **On-demand link creation** * Generate payment links on demand. * Share links through the merchant's preferred channel. * Use our API or Self-Care Portal interchangeably. **Flexible configuration** * Create one-time links or reusable links. * Choose between a sale transaction or pre-authorization transaction. * Set up a fixed amount or allow the customer to enter the amount. * Accept card payments, bank transfer, or both. **Secure payment processing** * Redirect customers to a PCI-compliant payment page to make payments. * Limit the merchant's PCI scope as no merchant website is needed. **Tracking and reporting** * View payment statuses to check if the payment is completed or failed. * Access reporting for reconciliation and activity monitoring. * Manage links and follow-on actions from either the API or Self-Care Portal. ## How to use Payment Links There are two ways to use Payment Links: * [Integrate with our API](#api-integration). * [Use our Self-Care Portal](#self-care-portal). Both options provide the same capabilities to create, share, and manage payment links. They also use the same payment link data, so you can create a payment link with one option, and then share the payment link with the other option. ### API Integration Integrate with our low-code Payment Links endpoints to create payment links and share them. For detailed integration steps, go to our integration guide for [Payment Links](/essentials-guides/payment-links). To perform follow-on actions, such as refunds, integrate with our other Payments methods. For more information about our Payroc API and other follow-on actions, go to our [API Explorer](/api/introduction). ### Self-Care Portal Our Payment Links solution can also be used through our Self-Care Portal. This no-code option allows merchants to create and share payment links without any development work.
