What is a payment link?

A payment link, often called a paylink or checkout URL, is a high-efficiency tool that allows merchants to collect money without a traditional cart system. 


When you create a payment link, you generate a unique payment URL that directs clients to a secure hosting environment to finalize their purchase. You can send these paylinks as standard hyperlinks or QR codes through messaging apps, email or SMS. 


Wix makes it easy to generate paylinks so you can focus on growth while providing a professional, branded experience for every buyer, functioning as a digital terminal that works anywhere your audience is active online.

Payment link FAQ

Are payment links free?

You can create a payment link for your business without any upfront costs. While there are no subscription fees to use the payment link tool itself, standard transaction fees apply based on the payment provider you connect. This ensures you only pay when you actually get paid, making it a cost-effective solution for merchants of all sizes.

How do I share a payment link?

Once you generate a paylink, you can distribute it across any digital channel. Simply copy the payment URL and paste it into an email, SMS or social media message. You can also download a QR code version, which is perfect for display on invoices, physical signage or business cards to facilitate quick, on-site mobile payments.

How many paylinks can I create?

There is no limit to the number of paylinks you can generate for your business. Whether you need a single paylink for a high-volume product or hundreds of unique checkout links for specific client consultations, the platform scales with you. This flexibility allows you to manage various revenue streams simultaneously without worrying about hitting a cap.

Are checkout links safe?

Every checkout URL you send is backed by enterprise-grade security and SSL certificate encryption. When a customer clicks your pay link, they are directed to a secure, PCI-compliant payment page. This ensures that their credit card data and personal information are handled with the highest level of protection, building trust in your brand.

Can I customize the checkout link?

Yes, when you create a payment link, you have the option to add specific product images, detailed descriptions and custom pricing. You can also choose whether the link connects to a catalog item from your online store or serves as a standalone payment URL for a one-off service.

How do I check if a client made a payment by link?

Monitoring your sales is simple through your centralized business dashboard. By navigating to the paylinks section, you can view a real-time list of all transactions. The system shows you exactly which paylink was used, the specific customer who completed the purchase and the total amount collected, helping you keep your bookkeeping organized.

Can I collect multiple payments with one link?

Yes, you have the option to use a single paylink for multiple customers. This is ideal for selling tickets, classes or popular merchandise where many people need to pay the same price. Alternatively, you can configure your checkout link to expire after a single use if you are billing a client for a specific, one-time invoice.

Do payment links expire?

You maintain total control over the lifecycle of every pay link you generate. Within your settings, you can set a specific expiration date or time limit for your checkout link. This is a useful feature for promotional offers, limited-time discounts or ensuring that quotes for services are only valid for a certain period.

Can I send a link to pay via mobile?

The Wix mobile app empowers you to manage your finances from anywhere. You can create a payment link, generate a QR code and send payment link requests directly from your smartphone. This allows you to accept funds during in-person meetings, at pop-up shops or while managing on-site services without needing a physical card reader.
