Create a Payment Link
The Payment Links solution enables you to send a link to your customer, which redirects them to a Hosted Payments Page where they complete the payment.
Use Payment Links to start accepting payments:
- While you're still working on your website or app
- As an alternative to hosting your own payment form
- In parallel with your existing online integration as another way to reach your customers
You can accept payments through any channel or device, such as email, social media, live chat, and text message. This lets you flexibly accommodate your customers' payment preferences.
Customers can also save their payment details with Checkout.com for faster checkouts in future. Details saved using Remember Me are accessible by all merchants with Remember Me enabled, regardless of which merchant the customer saved their details with.
Information
To enable Payment Links, contact your account manager or request support. During integration, you can specify your payment capture and 3D Secure settings.
Payment Links is hosted by Checkout.com. You provide the payment context, and we generate a link for you to send to your customers.
You can create and manage Payment Links in the following ways:
- Using the API
- In the Dashboard
Note
- You can only use links to accept one-time payments, not recurring payments.
- Links expire after 24 hours by default.
- You cannot embed Payment Links in iframes.
- You request a Payment Link and send us all the payment information. For example, the amount, currency, and customer's billing address.
- We generate a unique link you can share with your customer.
- The customer selects the link.
- We check that the link has not already been used or expired, and then load the payment page.
- The customer enters the required details.
- We handle the authentication flow and process the payment. If you have configured your webhook receiver, we send you a webhook.
