Payment link

Instead of building a checkout of your own, you make the link, share it, and the person who clicks it goes to a ready-made page to complete the payment. It's one of the quickest ways to start getting paid online.

How a payment link works

You start by making the link and telling it what you're selling and what it costs. Then you share that link wherever you already reach people. When someone clicks it, they go to a payment page, enter their details, and finish the purchase. The money then settles into an account you own with the provider behind the link. The link itself doesn't hold anything. It's just the doorway to that payment page.

Why people use a payment link

A payment link is handy when you're collecting from one person or a small group and you don't want to build anything. You don't need a website or any code. You make the link and send it, and you can start taking money in a few minutes. For a quick sale or a one-off request, that simplicity is the whole appeal.

A payment link vs a buy button on your own page

The trade-off with a payment link is that it sends the buyer off to a separate page to pay, away from wherever they started. That's fine for a lot of sales, but it's a break in the moment.

A buy button works the other way around. It sits right on the page you already have, so the sale starts where your buyer already is instead of sending them to a link first. With Coin Moebius, the buy button pulls the providers you've connected into one place, so your buyer can pay the way that works for them and you watch every sale from that button in a single spot. Some ways of paying will still finish on your provider's own secure page, and that's normal. What stays true is that the money settles into an account you own, we never hold it or take a cut of it, and you pay one flat fee instead of a percentage of every sale.
