How to create a payment link in Stripe

Follow these 4 simple steps to get up and running.

  1. 1

    Turn on Payment Links

    Open the menu (profile icon, top left), tap Settings, and switch on Payment Links under Payments. You only do this once.

  2. 2

    Add products to the sale

    On the home screen, tap the products your customer is buying. Payment links are built from products only, so a typed amount can't become a link. No products yet? Add them in the app or your Stripe Dashboard.

  3. 3

    Tap … next to Next, then Payment Link

    Tap the … button on the right side of Next and choose Payment Link. On Create Payment Link, turn on any options you need, like Collect tax or Allow promo codes, then tap the checkmark.

  4. 4

    Share the link

    The app shows the new link's URL. Tap View Payment Link to open it. To send it, open the Stripe Account menu (grid icon, top right), go to Payment Links, pick the link, and tap Share or Copy URL. Payments land in your Stripe balance.

FAQ

Common questions

How do I create a payment link in Stripe?
In Payment for Stripe, add products to the sale, tap … next to Next, choose Payment Link, then tap the checkmark. Links are built from products, not typed amounts. In the Stripe Dashboard, open Payment Links, click +New, choose or add a product, and click Create link. Both create the same Stripe-hosted payment page.
Do payment links expire?
By default, payment links don't expire and can be used multiple times. You can deactivate a link at any time from within the app if you no longer want to accept payments through it.
What payment methods can customers use?
Customers can pay using any payment method enabled in your Stripe account, including credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and other regional payment methods.
Can I create a payment link for a recurring payment?
Yes, in the Stripe Dashboard: add a product with a recurring price to the link, and Stripe starts a subscription when the customer pays. The app's Payment Link option is turned off for recurring prices.
How do I send a Stripe payment link?
In the app, open the Stripe Account menu (grid icon, top right), go to Payment Links, pick the link, and tap Share or Copy URL. Send it by text, email, WhatsApp, or any messaging app. Your customer opens a secure Stripe-hosted page and pays online.
Do I need a website to use Stripe payment links?
No. Payment links are Stripe-hosted pages. Create one in the app, share it anywhere, and get paid with no website and no code.
Is there a fee for using payment links?
Payments through a link pay Stripe's online card rate (2.9% + 30¢ in the US) plus Payment for Stripe's 1.2% per sale (15¢ minimum). Creating and sharing links is free, with no monthly fees.
Can I turn a payment link into a QR code?
Yes. In the Stripe Dashboard, open the payment link and click QR code to copy or download a PNG. The code doesn't expire. If you deactivate the link, scanning it shows an expired page instead.
How do customers pay with a QR code?
They point their phone camera at the code, which opens the Stripe payment page for that link, and pay by card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Print the code on a sign, menu, or invoice to take payments without a card reader.
