Create and share payment links

Set up a payment link, share it with anyone, and track payments. This guide explains what you configure, what the payer sees, and how links behave over time.

What a payment link is

A payment link lets you request a payment and share it with anyone.

Create a payment link in the web app and share it anywhere.

The page can be public, but payment details stay private by default.

Each link lets you track payments, trigger webhooks, and use automation.

Creation flow

The create flow is stepped on purpose so creators can move through setup without cognitive overload.

Step 1: Choose a template to start with the right defaults.

Step 2: Add payment details like title, amount, and token.

Step 3: Set options like expiry, success message, and redirect URL.

Example checkout-style link config

{
  "template": "checkout",
  "title": "Pro plan",
  "amount": 49,
  "token": "ALEO",
  "successMessage": "Payment received. Thanks for upgrading.",
  "redirectUrl": "https://yourapp.com/billing/success"
}

Templates

Templates change how the page looks and behaves, but all links work the same underneath.

Template	Use this for	What's different
Invoice	Bills and fixed payments	More formal wording and invoice-style layout
Freelance Payment	Services and contract work	Clear payment-due messaging
Tip Jar / Donation	Flexible or optional payments	Suggested amounts and easy custom input
Checkout	Products and purchases	Redirect after payment and purchase-style flow
Custom	Anything else	Simple layout with neutral wording

Payer experience

The payment page is clean and simple, with small differences based on the template.

Invoices and freelance payments

Feels like a bill or service payment instead of a casual request.

Tip jars and donations

Suggested amounts help people choose quickly, while still allowing custom amounts.

Checkout links

After payment, users can be redirected back to your app or website.

Trust

Clear links to privacy, terms, and support help users feel confident paying.

Status and analytics

Track the status of each link and understand how it's performing.

A live link is active and can accept payments.

An expired link can no longer be used.

A capped link has reached its maximum number of payments.

Each link shows key details like title, status, amount, and expiry.

Analytics show traffic and payments without revealing payer identity.
