How it works
How payment links by SMS or email work
Create your account and complete the payment setup, then request an agreed amount by SMS or email. Your customer pays through Stripe Checkout; PayLinker shows the confirmed payment before you take the next step under your terms.
Real demo of the app with prefilled access and no account creation needed.
No terminal, no app, no customer account required.
Useful for deposits, booking fees, security deposit authorizations and balances.
Stripe-powered checkout with instant payment confirmation.
The flow is simple
Create the request, send it by SMS or email and check the result after the customer pays.
- You create a payment link
- The customer receives it
- They pay online
- You track the payment

Create, send, track: everything stays visible in the dashboard.
See how to create a request, send it and check its payment status in the PayLinker interface.
Full tracking
Every request shows its status: sent, opened, pending, paid or expired.
Seller confirmation
When the customer pays, the seller gets a confirmation and keeps clear proof.
Three real flows
Payment link, security deposit, ticketing: one seller workflow.
PayLinker keeps the same logic: prepare the request, give the customer a clear flow, then track the status in your workspace.
Payment by SMS or email
Enter the amount, customer and purchase details. PayLinker sends a secure link by SMS, email or both.
- Full payment, deposit, booking fee or balance.
- No customer account required.
- Automatic receipt after payment.
Deposit authorized, not captured
The customer authorizes the amount by card through Stripe. PayLinker then shows the exact expiry date; you can release or capture all or part if needed before that date.
- The main action releases the deposit.
- A discreet link captures part or all of it.
- Every capture requires seller confirmation.
Online ticketing with QR code
Create an event, publish a sales page, collect ticket payments online and check entries with the QR-code scanner.
- Public ticket sales page.
- Tickets sent automatically by email.
- Unique QR code to reduce duplicate entries.

Create a payment link for an agreed amount
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: a first payment, remaining balance, booking, service or rental. Clear wording helps your customer understand what they are paying.
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
