A payment link lets you get paid remotely without a card terminal or app. Sent by SMS or email, it opens a secure checkout page to collect a deposit, a booking fee, a security deposit, a remaining balance or a full payment.

Send SMS payment links and get paid with PayLinker + Stripe.
Payment links are used to get paid before, during or after a service. They are ideal when you work on bookings, cannot use a card terminal on site, or need to collect payment before travelling, before arrival or before delivery.
Use them to collect a deposit to secure a slot, a booking fee to confirm a date, a security deposit before key handover, or a balance payment to avoid chasing clients afterwards.
Common uses:
You get paid earlier instead of waiting for a bank transfer, a cheque or a payment “later”.
You secure bookings, visits and rentals with a payment request sent at the right moment.
You spend less time chasing payments because the link is simple, direct and trackable.
You keep a more professional image with a secure payment page powered by Stripe.
You use SMS or email depending on urgency, context and customer expectations.
Transactions are encrypted and processed on Stripe’s infrastructure, with a clear confirmation for you and your customer.
See an example in health & beauty services.
Creating a payment link is free. Only the transaction is subject to the PayLinker fee depending on your plan, plus Stripe fees. Each SMS uses 1 credit, while email delivery stays free.
