Payment links
Create shareable links for accepting payments without building your own payment link
Overview
Payment links are shareable links that allow you to accept payments without building your own payment UI. Each link gets a unique URL you can share with customers. Payment links support both one-time purchases and subscription sign-ups.
Create a payment link
To create a payment link using the dashboard:
- Navigate to Payment links → Add payment link
- Choose the type (one-time or subscription)
- Enter a name for the payment link
- (Optional) Customize the slug for the link URL
- For one-time payments: add line items with descriptions and prices
- For subscription payments: select the plan customers will subscribe to
- Click Create payment link
You can also create payment links programmatically using the Payment Links API.
Slug
Each payment link has a unique slug that determines its URL: billingrails.link/{your-domain}/pay/{your-slug}. Slugs must be unique and can contain letters, numbers, and hyphens.
Hosted URL
Each published payment link gets a hosted URL: https://billingrails.link/{your-domain}/pay/{your-slug}
Share this URL directly with customers, embed it in emails, or link to it from your website. The checkout experience is fully hosted and maintained by Billingrails.
