Supported payment methods
Link to Pay offers full compatibility with all available payment methods, ensuring maximum flexibility and convenience.
How it works
First, you create a payment link by entering information such as the amount, currency, link expiry date, whether it’s for single or multiple use, and the accepted payment methods.
Subsequently, you transmit the payment link to the customer via email, social media, chat or text message.
Once the customer clicks on the link, they will be directed to a payment page displaying all the applicable payment options specified previously.
Upon the customer’s selection of a payment method and successful transaction, you will receive the payment outcome through a webhook notification.

Links validity and usability
When using Link to Pay, you can configure the link’s expiration period, ranging from 48 hours to a maximum of 90 days.
Additionally, you have the choice to set a payment link for either single or multiple uses. In single-use mode, the link is designed for one successful transaction, while in multiple-use mode, it can be shared with multiple shoppers without any usage limitations.
Manage payment links
In the Link to Pay table, the user is directed to a page featuring a paginated list of all previously generated links, sorted chronologically.
The menu provides the following information:
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Link ID | Unique identifier generated upon the moment the link is created specific to it. |
| Payment Link URL | Weblink created by the Merchant to be shared with the Customer. |
| Link Status | This indicates the status of a payment link: ‘Active’ A Payment Link has not been used, either newly created or reactivated by the merchant, and whose current date and time are prior to the set expiry date. Can be utilized by the customer to make payment. ‘Inactive’ The Link has been disabled by the merchant. Cannot be used. ‘Cancelled’: The Link that has been cancelled and cannot be used. ‘Expired’ A Payment Link that has its current date and time surpassing the set Expiry Date and cannot be used. ‘Used’ Only applicable for single-use payment links. Customer has made a payment operation through the payment link and cannot be used again. |
| Link Creation Date Time | Date and time of link creation. |
| Details | Further details provided by Merchant for extra context about the payment link. |
Each row offers users a Toggle Button for further details and a Dotted Button that provides access to a set of four actions.
You have the following actions at your disposal:
- Copy Link – enables you to quickly duplicate the link for easy sharing.
- Deactivate Link – temporarily suspends the link. Can be reactivated.
- Cancel Link – permanently terminates the link, rendering it non-functional. Cannot be reactivated.
