Payment Links and the Embedded Flow serve different integration needs:
Already using the Embedded Flow? You can use both. Payment Links are ideal for scenarios where you need to collect a payment outside your checkout page, like sending an invoice link via email.

How It Works

Every payment link has a status that tracks its progress:
Single-use vs Reusable: By default, links are single-use: they transition to USED when a customer completes payment. Set link_type: "reusable" to create links that stay ACTIVE for repeated payments (useful for donation pages or recurring invoices).

​
Key Features

  • Shareable URLs: send via any channel: email, SMS, WhatsApp, messaging apps
  • Hosted checkout page: Quidkey-branded checkout page, no frontend code needed. By default, customers see a Quidkey thank you or failure page after payment. Optionally redirect them back to your own site with custom redirect_urls.
  • Configurable expiry: default 7 days, or set a custom duration
  • Single-use and reusable: one-time payment links or persistent links for repeated use
  • View tracking: see how many times a link has been opened
  • Recoverable URLs: copy the link URL at any time from the Console or API (encrypted token storage)
  • Link-to-transaction: when a link is used, navigate directly to the resulting transaction
