Payment Links
Create a hosted checkout link without writing any code and share it anywhere.
A payment link is a hosted checkout for a fixed amount. It is the quickest way to get paid for an invoice, a custom order or a one-off service.
Create a link#
- 1
Open Create Payment
In the dashboard, go to Create Payment and choose Card.
- 2
Enter the amount
Set the amount and currency (USD, EUR, CAD or INR).
- 3
Pick a provider (optional)
Standard – Auto Optimized lets the customer choose from every available provider. Pick a single provider if you want to send customers straight to it.
- 4
Decide who pays the fee
Tick Payer covers provider fees to add the fee on top of the amount. See fee pass-through.
- 5
Add a note and create
The note helps you find the payment later. You get a short link, a QR code and the full checkout URL.
Notes are not private
The note is shown in the link preview when you share a short link, and it is included in webhook events. Do not put personal or confidential data in it.Share a link#
Short links look like https://paylio.org/p/a8wB3v4R and redirect to the checkout. They work in email, chat apps, SMS and PDF invoices. Each link is for one payment; create a new one for every order.
Track payments#
My Payments lists every payment with its status. You can search by payment ID, email or note, and filter by status. See payment statuses for what each status means.

Links without an account#
Anyone can create a card payment link on paylio.org/create by entering a Polygon wallet and an amount. Guest links use the standard provider picker and a 6% fee. For lower fees, payment history and webhooks, create an account.
