How do payment links work?

Payment links are a straightforward and simple way to take payments when the customer isn’t present. They work by sending a clickable link via text message, WhatsApp or email which is sent by the merchant and opened by the customer. Once the customer clicks on the link they will be directed to a secure payment page where they can pay the requested sum by either entering their card details or using Apple Pay or Google Pay.
