Payment Request (Payment Link)

A Payment Request (often called a Payment Link) is a URL generated by a merchant that directs a customer to a pre-hosted checkout page to pay for goods or services. This is ideal for remote billing, invoicing via email or SMS, and collecting payments without needing a dedicated website or coding knowledge.

FAQs:
