Cashfree Payment Links lets businesses collect payments through branded checkout pages without a website or coding. Merchants can share links using WhatsApp, SMS, email, QR codes, social channels or invoices. WhatsApp-native links display a branded widget within the chat instead of redirecting customers to a browser. Customers can pay with UPI, cards, net banking, wallets and more than 180 payment methods. Merchants may allow staged payments, set a link expiry date, or leave it active until deactivation. CSV or Excel uploads can create hundreds of links in one batch, while APIs can create, manage and track links; dashboard creation is also listed. Eligible businesses can receive settlements starting from 15 minutes. The free plan lists link creation and reminders at 0.00 USD per free, while standard Payment Gateway charges apply. Payment limits depend on account configuration, business profile and regulatory requirements. Listed integrations include Shopify, Wix, WooCommerce, PayPal, WordPress and Zoho. The product page describes use cases including school and coaching fees, loan collections, social selling, invoices, bookings and B2B collections.
