What Payment Link is
Payment Link is a web service for requesting and collecting payments through shareable links, dedicated payment pages, a micro e-commerce shop, and in-person QR codes. Businesses create a request with customer details, a product description, and an amount, then send or share the payment form. Customers can pay by credit or debit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Payment pages can use a company’s logo, colors, and style. Payment Link connects with Stripe, either through an existing account or one created through the service. Payments go from the provider directly to the merchant’s bank account; Payment Link says it does not hold or transfer them. Its dashboard shows pending and paid transactions, searches by customer or date, and exports Excel or CSV summaries. Businesses receive payment notifications and customers get emailed receipts. The web service starts at $16/mo when billed annually, includes a 30-day trial, and has no free plan.
