What the Payment Link Generator does

A payment link is your hosted checkout URL with amount, currency and an order or invoice reference attached, so the customer lands on a prefilled payment screen.

Methodology and formula

The amount, currency and reference are appended as encoded query parameters to the checkout URL your payment provider gives you.

Worked example

Inputs: Checkout https://pay.example.com/checkout, amount 250, currency USD, reference INV-1042
Result: https://pay.example.com/checkout?amount=250&currency=USD&reference=INV-1042

The customer opens a checkout already showing the invoice total.

When to use this tool

Pair the payment link generator with the short link generator for a tidy shareable address, or the QR code generator when the link has to work on print.

About the Payment Link Generator

A real example

A plumber texts pay.example.com/checkout?amount=180&currency=USD&ref=INV-2041 after a callout, and the reference matches the invoice in their books.

When to use the payment link generator

How the link is built

The amount, currency and reference are appended as encoded query parameters to the checkout URL your payment provider gives you.

Things to watch out for

Always confirm the amount server-side. Anything in a URL can be edited by the customer before paying.

Frequently asked questions

Does this process payments?

No. It only builds the URL; your payment provider handles the transaction.

Which parameter names should I use?

Check your provider's documentation — amount, currency and reference are the most common.

Is this link generator free?

Yes. Every generator on BusinessTools.Online is free, needs no signup, and builds the link in your browser.

Do you store the links I create?

No. The link is assembled locally in your browser and never sent to or saved on our servers.
