Payment links • SMS & email
A payment link lets you get paid remotely without a card terminal or app. Sent by SMS or email, it opens Stripe Checkout for an agreed full payment, first payment or balance. A card security-deposit authorization and individual ticket sales have their own dedicated flows.

Payment links • SMS & email
You secure dates and visits
Choose the amount and delivery channel.
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 a link to request the amount due for a service, an agreed first payment or a later balance. For a rental guarantee, choose the separate card-authorization flow; for individual event entry, choose ticketing.
Common uses:
Request a first payment before work starts when your terms provide for it, then see whether it has been paid.
You can confirm a booking after checking payment under the conditions you agreed with the client.
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.
Deposit without a terminal
For rentals, key handover or equipment, standard payment remains the default. You simply enable the security deposit option when you need a Stripe card authorization.
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.
Start here to understand a standard payment request. For card guarantees or individual event tickets, use the dedicated flow.
