What Are Payment Links?
Payment links are unique, shareable URLs that allow you to accept payments seamlessly. Whether you’re completing a quick sale or need to provide payment options remotely, payment links make the process fast and user-friendly.
How Do Payment Links Work?
- Generate a unique payment link when completing a quick sale order.
- Share the link with your customers via social media, email, text, or even in person using a QR code.
- Customers can access the link to complete their purchase securely through Shopify’s checkout system, where they can pay with their Shopify account or a credit card.
Benefits of Using Payment Links

Payment links empower your business to accept payments anywhere—whether online or in person. They’re perfect for businesses on the go or those without a permanent point-of-sale system.
3. Enhanced Customer Experience
By offering a convenient checkout method that’s easy to access and secure, you make it easier for your customers to complete their purchases, which can increase customer satisfaction and conversion rates.
