Payment Links
Last updated: April 29, 2022
Payment Links provides you with a way to easily integrate with our Unified Payments API without all the heavy lifting.
You can accept payments through any channel or device – email, social media, live chat, or text message! Be flexible to your customers' payment preferences. All you need to do is send the Payment Link to the customer, and it will take them to a Checkout.com-hosted payment page for them to complete the payment.
To begin using Payment Links, contact your Solution Engineer or [email protected]. During integration, you'll be able to specify your payment capture and 3D Secure settings.
Use Payment Links to start accepting payments:
We've also created a table that lists supported payment methods, languages and other features.
Payment Links is completely hosted by Checkout.com. All you need to do is give us context of the payment, and we’ll generate a Payment Link for you to send to your customers.
Information
Links can only be used to accept one-time payments, and expire after 24 hours by default.
- Request a Payment Link and send us all the payment information — for example, the amount, currency and customer's billing address.
- Checkout.com generates a unique link you can share with your customer.
- The customer selects the link. We'll check that it hasn't already been used or expired, and then load the payment page.
- The customer fills in the required details, then we'll handle the authentication flow and process the payment.
- After the payment's been processed, you'll be notified by a webhook.
Preview the Payment Links flow with the demo below. You can try it with one of our test cards, or Sofort test details.
Use one of our test cards with any future expiry date, or use the details below:
