Overview
Payment links let you collect payments without writing any code. Create a link in the dashboard, share it with your customer via email, SMS, or social media, and they pay through a hosted checkout page. The payment is routed through your configured connections automatically.
Create from the dashboard
Navigate to Payment Links
From your dashboard sidebar, click Payment Links. You'll see a list of existing links and a button to create a new one.
Click Create Link
Click Create Payment Link to open the creation form.
Configure the link
Fill in the details:
- Title — A name your customer will see (e.g., "Invoice #1042")
- Amount — Fixed amount, or leave blank to let the customer enter any amount
- Currency — Select from your supported currencies (GHS, NGN, USD, etc.)
- Description — Optional context shown on the checkout page
- Redirect URL — Where to send the customer after payment
- Metadata — Key-value pairs for your internal tracking
Copy and share
Click Create. You'll get a unique URL like https://pay.reevit.io/pl_abc123. Share this link anywhere — it works on any device.
