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.
Sharing Your Link
You can share payment links through:
| Channel | How |
|---|---|
| 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 | Generate a QR code that points to the link |
Tracking Payments
All payments made through a link are tracked in two places:
- Dashboard — Go to Links, click the link, and see all payments.
- API — Filter payments by link ID (if stored in metadata).
Tips
- 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.
- Disable links when a promotion ends or a product is sold out.
- For recurring payments, use Subscription Links instead.
