Create a payment link in seconds
A payment link helps professionals get paid remotely without a card terminal. Set the amount, add a short description (deposit, booking, service), then generate a secure link to send to your customer.
Step 1: set the amount and context
Amount and description
Enter the amount and clearly state what it is for: deposit, remaining balance, booking, service, rental, etc. Clear wording reduces confusion and improves completion rates.
When to request a deposit
A deposit helps secure appointments and bookings, especially when last-minute cancellations disrupt your schedule.
Step 2: send the link to your customer
Send the link by SMS, email, or both. Customers receive a clear message with direct access to the payment page.
Back to home: PayLinker. Plans: pricing.
Step 3: secure payment and confirmation
The customer opens the link and pays online. A confirmation is sent after payment, providing clear traceability and reducing disputes.
Why it can be easier than a card terminal
Card terminals require hardware and do not fit every scenario (remote payments, bookings, deposits). Payment links are ideal when customers are not physically on-site.
Common use cases
- Confirm an appointment with a deposit
- Charge remotely before providing a service
- Reduce no-shows for booking-based businesses
- Make payment easier for rentals and activities
