Also known as checkout links, they can be shared as clickable URLs or scannable QR codes across social media, messaging apps, websites, or even printed invoices.

When a customer clicks the link, they’re taken to a secure checkout page to complete the payment. Payment links work for both one-time transactions, like invoices, or multiple transactions, such as a buy button on a social media platform.

💡
During Ramadan, demand spikes due to promotions, gift-giving, and charity donations. Payment links help businesses handle this rush smoothly. Whether selling Ramadan-themed products, accepting Zakat contributions, or running special offers.


Now that we’ve covered what payment links are, here’s why they matter:

1. Simple and Easy to Use

Create a link, share it, and get paid in seconds. No complex setup, no hassle.
