Using Payment Links

What Happens When a Customer Opens a Payment Link

The customer clicks your payment link (e.g., checkout.inflowpay.com/l/{linkId}).
They see the Inflow hosted checkout page with:
- Your brand (logo, name)
- Product name, price, and quantity
- Available payment methods
The customer selects a payment method:
- Open Banking — They authenticate with their bank for an instant transfer.
- Card Payment — They enter their card details in a secure form.
The payment is processed.
The customer is redirected to your success URL (if configured) or shown a confirmation page.

You can share payment links through:

Channel	How
Email	Paste the link in an email to your customer
Website	Add a "Buy Now" button that links to the checkout
Social Media	Share the link on Twitter, Instagram, Telegram, etc.
Messaging	Send via WhatsApp, Discord, or any messaging app
QR Code	Copy or download the link's QR code from its page in the Dashboard

All payments made through a link are tracked in two places:

Dashboard — Go to Product catalog → Payment links, open the link, and click View all under Recent payments. You can also filter Transactions → Payments by Payment link ID.
API — Filter payments by link ID (if stored in metadata).

Use descriptive names for your links so you can identify them easily in the Dashboard.
Set a success URL to redirect customers to a thank-you page after payment.
Deactivate links, or give them an expiry date, when a promotion ends or a product is sold out.
For recurring payments, use Subscription Links instead.
