Payment Links Explained: How They Work and Why Businesses Use Them

Dec 2, 2025

Payment links have transformed the way businesses collect payments by offering a simple, flexible, and secure method to get paid. At Lytz, we make generating and sharing payment links effortless, allowing businesses to quickly request payments.

What Are Payment Links?

A payment link is a unique URL or QR code sent to a customer, taking them to a secure checkout page. On that page, customers can enter their payment details and complete their purchase without needing a full website or complicated setup.

How Do Payment Links Work?

Creating a payment link is straightforward. From your Lytz App, you generate a link tailored to the transaction, whether it is a one-time sale, invoice payment, or subscription. You then share it via a communication channel.

When the customer clicks or scans the payment link, they are directed instantly to a secure payment portal. Lytz handles all aspects of the transaction: card tokenization, authorization, and settlement, so you focus on your business, not payment technicalities.

Why Businesses Use Payment Links

  • Simple and accessible: No coding or ecommerce site needed

  • Multi-channel flexibility: Reach customers via any platform

  • Fast payments: Accelerate cash flow with instant requests

  • Customer convenience: Easy to pay via desktop or mobile

  • Secure processing: Built-in fraud protection and compliance

Payment links from Lytz unlock a robust, user-friendly payment experience ideal for startups, freelancers, and retailers wanting frictionless, scalable payment acceptance.
