Generate Payment Links and QR Codes Instantly

Create shareable payment links and QR codes from the Privex Pay dashboard in seconds — no website, code, or technical setup required.

Payment links are the fastest way to start accepting payments with Privex Pay. You create a link from your dashboard, set an amount and description, and share it — by email, SMS, social media, or embedded on any page. Each link comes with a matching QR code you can download and use in print or digital materials.

You do not need a website, a developer, or any technical setup to use payment links. If you have a Privex Pay account, you can start accepting payments immediately.

When to use payment links

Payment links work well for any situation where you need to collect payment outside of a traditional checkout flow:

• Freelancers and service providers — send a link to a client after completing work
• Creators and educators — sell digital products, courses, or content without building a storefront
• Service businesses — collect deposits, retainers, or one-off payments by SMS or email
• Events and pop-ups — display a QR code for in-person payments without a card terminal

   Go to privexpay.com and sign in to your merchant account.

2. Open Payment Links

   In the left sidebar, select Payment Links, then click Create link.

3. Set the amount and description

4. Generate the link

5. Share or embed

   Copy the link to your clipboard or download the QR code image. Share it however works best for your use case.

What gets generated

When you create a payment link, Privex Pay produces two assets:

• A shareable URL — a unique privexpay.com/pay/... link that opens a hosted, mobile-friendly checkout page
• A QR code — a downloadable PNG you can use in invoices, receipts, flyers, or anywhere else

The checkout page is hosted by Privex Pay and branded with your merchant name. Your customers do not need a Privex Pay account to complete a payment.

How to share your link

Email

Paste the link directly into the body of your email or invoice. You can also attach the QR code image as a visual alternative.

SMS

Copy the link and paste it into a text message. The checkout page is fully mobile-optimized.

Social media

Share the link in a post, story, or direct message. Works on any platform that renders clickable URLs.

Embedded on a page

Paste the URL as a hyperlink or button on any existing webpage or bio-link page — no code integration required.

Download the QR code and include it in a PDF invoice. Clients can scan it directly from their phone to pay without typing a URL.

Security and compliance

Every payment link checkout is protected by 256-bit encryption. When your customer enters their card details, Privex Pay tokenizes the data immediately — raw card numbers are never stored or passed to you. Privex Pay processes the transaction as the Merchant of Record and handles all chargeback liability and compliance obligations.
