# Paylinks (/store/paylinks)







A **Paylink** is a static, shareable checkout URL. Send it in an email, DM, invoice, or post it anywhere — anyone with the link can pay without signing in or going through your storefront.

Open the **Paylinks** page from the dashboard sidebar to see active links, disabled ones, and a full history.

## Creating a Paylink [#creating-a-paylink]

Click **+ Create Paylink** in the top right and fill in:

<img alt="Create Paylink panel" src="__img1" />

### Basic information [#basic-information]

* **Title*&#x2A; &#x2A;(optional)* — shown to customers at checkout. Examples: `Pro plan, June`, `Setup fee`, `Invoice #1042`.
* **Description*&#x2A; &#x2A;(optional)* — extra detail about what's being purchased.

### Items [#items]

Up to **10 items per link**. Mix catalog products and custom line items in the same Paylink.

| Type    | Use for                                                                    |
| ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Catalog | Existing products from your store. Pulled live, including price and stock. |
| Custom  | Ad-hoc charges. Set a name, amount, and quantity directly on the link.     |

<Callout type="info">
  Subscription products **aren't supported** in Paylinks. Use a regular checkout for recurring billing.
</Callout>

### Limits [#limits]

Cap how many times the link can be used. Once the total usage limit is hit, the Paylink stops accepting new payments and any open checkout sessions can no longer be completed.

Leave the toggle off for unlimited uses.

### Expiration [#expiration]

Set a date when the link should stop working. After expiry, the link returns a checkout-closed page to anyone who visits.

Leave blank for no expiry — the link works until you disable it manually.

## Sharing [#sharing]

Once created, the Paylink gets a permanent URL like `https://pay.pandabase.io/pay_ld7zj6jeyloacgbqp8qe6xjqk4`. Copy it from the row's **Options** menu or the detail view.

Customers don't need an account. They land on a hosted checkout page, pay, and receive a receipt by email. The order shows up in your **Payments** page like any other sale.

## Managing existing Paylinks [#managing-existing-paylinks]

The list view shows each link's title, item count, status, total uses, and expiry. Filters at the top let you switch between **Active**, **Disabled**, and **All**.

From the row's options menu you can:

* **Copy URL** — copy the link.
* **Disable** — stop accepting new payments immediately. Existing checkout sessions can still complete.
* **Re-enable** — reactivate a previously disabled link.
* **Delete** — permanent. Existing orders are kept; the URL stops working.

## What customers see [#what-customers-see]

The hosted checkout page shows your store name, the Paylink title, line items, and total. It supports every payment method available in the customer's country — cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, plus local methods like iDEAL, PIX, UPI, and so on.

Customers can apply coupons at checkout if your store has any active.

## Limits [#limits-1]

* **10 items** per Paylink.
* **$0.01 minimum** per custom item.
* **$1.00 minimum** total per checkout.
* No subscriptions. Use a regular checkout flow for recurring products.

## Where Paylinks fit [#where-paylinks-fit]

Use Paylinks for invoices, custom quotes, one-off services, donations, or paid content. Use a storefront when customers need to browse or search a catalog.
