How to create, configure, and share payment links that let customers pay you directly through a checkout URL.
Payment links are shareable checkout URLs you create from the admin dashboard. Customers open the link, choose a payment method, and complete the payment - no invoice or API integration required.
Create a payment link
Go to Payments → Payment Links.
Click + Create Link.
Fill in the details (see options below).
Click Create Link.
Copy the shareable URL from the link list and send it to your customer.

Fixed vs. variable amount
Fixed amount - enter a value in the Amount field. The customer sees the price locked and cannot change it.
Variable amount - leave the Amount field blank. The checkout page shows an input where the customer types their own value. Use this for donations, tips, or flexible service fees.
Expiry and usage limits
Set Max uses to 1 for single-use links (for example a specific invoice payment). Set an Expires at date to prevent stale links from being used weeks later. When a link expires or reaches its use limit, customers see a “Link expired” message.
Redirect URLs
When a customer completes payment, they are redirected to the Redirect URL you configured. Pycer appends trx_id and status as query parameters so you can confirm the result on your side.
Embedding payment links
You can embed a payment link in an <iframe> on your own website. Use the checkout URL as the src attribute. Make sure your website allows the Pycer domain in your Content Security Policy headers.
At least one payment gateway must be active for the link’s currency before you share it. Otherwise customers see an error at checkout with no available payment methods.
