Payment Links

Payment links are the simplest way to accept crypto payments. Generate a link from the dashboard, share it with anyone, and they can pay directly from their browser -- no integration required.

Creating a Payment Link

1. Log in to your DCP Dashboard
2. Go to Payment Tools
3. Click Create Payment Link
4. Configure the payment:

5. Click Create
6. Copy the generated link

How It Works

When someone opens a payment link:

1. They see a payment page hosted by DirectCryptoPay
2. The page shows the amount, description, and available payment options
3. They connect their wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, etc.)
4. They select a chain and token
5. They sign and submit the transaction
6. Payment is confirmed on-chain by the DCP backend
7. You receive a webhook notification (if configured)

Invoicing

Send a payment link to a client for a specific invoice amount. Include the invoice number in the title for easy tracking.

Donations

Share a payment link on your website or social media to accept crypto donations.

Quick Sales

Generate a link for a one-off product sale or service payment without building a full checkout flow.

Freelance Payments

Share a link with clients who need to pay for completed work.

Sharing Payment Links

Payment links can be shared via:

• Email -- Paste the link directly in an email
• Messaging apps -- WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, etc.
• Social media -- Post on Twitter/X, LinkedIn, etc.
• QR codes -- Generate a QR code from the link for in-person payments
• Website embed -- Use the link as the href of a button on your site

Tracking Payments

All payments made through payment links appear in your Dashboard > Payments section. Each payment shows:

• Payment status (pending, confirmed, expired)
• Amount and token used
• Chain where the payment was made
• Transaction hash (with block explorer link)
• Timestamp
