A payment link is a fixed-amount checkout page you create once and share anywhere: email, chat, an invoice PDF, a QR code on the counter. Every buyer who opens it goes through the same hosted checkout as an API payment.
  1. In the dashboard, go to Payment links → Create link.
  2. Set a title (what the buyer sees, e.g. “Consulting invoice”), an amount, and a currency (CHF, EUR or USD).
  3. Share the link’s URL.
Your merchant account must be approved before links can be created.

URL anatomy

https://checkout.qint.ch/pay/pl_x7k2m9p4q1w8
└──────────┬─────────┘     └──────┬───────┘
   hosted checkout            link id (pl_…)
The /pay/{id} route on the hosted checkout resolves all three payable objects by their id prefix: payment links (pl_…), invoices (inv_…), and API-created payment intents (pi_…).

​
What the buyer sees

Opening the link shows the title, amount, your business name and branding, and a grid of the assets and networks you accept with live indicative crypto amounts. When the buyer starts paying, a payment intent is created with a 15-minute window; picking an asset locks the exact crypto amount and shows a deposit address.
Payment links are reusable — each buyer session creates its own payment intent against the link. Use them for donations, flat-fee services, or anything many customers pay the same amount for. For one-off billing with line items, use invoices; for per-order amounts, use the API.
StatusMeaning
ActiveThe link resolves and accepts payments.
PausedTemporarily disabled — the checkout returns “not found” until you re-activate it.
ArchivedRetired for good. Past payments keep referencing the link.
Change a link’s status from its page in the dashboard (Owner/Admin only). Payments made through a link appear in Payments like any other, with the link id attached — and they trigger the same payment.status webhooks with paymentLinkId set.
