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, email, phone number, billing address or shipping address, and branding details. You can also collect specific details through customizable "custom_fields" where you can add "custom_fields" specifying any of the input types, i.e., text, number, or options. If so, the customer needs to provide them in order for the QR to be shown to them before the payment is processed. 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.
