A payment link is a shareable URL that can be used to take multiple payment on same link. A payment link can be shared and used multiple times to accept payment from your customers. You can create a payment link in your preferred base currency to be paid in cryptocurrency supported by the Speed platform API (currently SATS).
When a customer visits the payment link URL, it will open a new checkout session rendering a payment page with information such as payment QR code and branding details. Upon receiving the funds either through on-chain or lightning network payment methods, the status of the payment associated with that checkout session changes to paid. To ensure that you can receive both on-chain and lightning payments, remember to keep the “BTC On-chain” payment method enabled in payment methods in Speed web application.
You can use these checkout sessions to track payments through the payment links.
