Payment Links offer a flexible payment collection solution that accommodates different business needs and technical capabilities. Whether you prefer a no-code approach through our merchant dashboard or automated control via API integration, Payment Links provide a secure, hosted payment experience without requiring your own website or complex e-commerce setup.
Integration Methods
Payment Links can be implemented in two distinct ways to match your business requirements:
No-Code Dashboard Integration
Perfect for businesses that want to start accepting payments immediately without any technical development:
- Zero coding required - Create and manage payment links entirely through the Amazon Payment Services merchant dashboard
- Manual link creation - Generate payment links on-demand for individual transactions or customers
- Built-in customer notifications - Automatically send payment links via email or SMS directly from our platform
- Instant setup - Start collecting payments within minutes of account activation
API-Based Integration
Designed for businesses that need automated control and automated payment link generation:
- Automated link creation - Generate payment links automatically through API calls
- System integration - Seamlessly integrate with your existing CRM, billing system, or custom applications
- Automated workflows - Create payment links as part of your business processes
Both approaches deliver the same secure, hosted payment experience to your customers while offering the flexibility to choose the integration method that best fits your technical capabilities and business workflow.
How Payment Links Work
The payment process follows these simple steps:
Link Creation
Create a payment link through the merchant dashboard or API with customer details and payment information.
Secure Payment
Customer clicks the link and completes payment on the hosted page using their preferred payment method.
