Accept online payments from your customers with ease through payment links: simply create a payment request, generate a link through the app and share it through any medium (e.g., email, messaging apps, social media). Your customers can then follow the link to make a quick payment using their preferred payment method. We support PayPal, Stripe and Square as payment gateways. Paylinks is ideal for accepting small-value payments (such as for a yoga lesson or entry ticket to a social dance event): you don’t need any special device like a point-of-sale system or a payment terminal, and you don’t have to send invoices.
