More about how it is used
Using Pay by Link to support contextual commerce.
With Pay by Link, you can accept payments using payment links.
Use cases for payment links include:
- Adding a payment option to an invoice for providing your services.
- Asking a shopper to pay after they visit your product showroom.
- Letting a shopper pay after interacting with them through chat, email, or social media.
The link takes your customer to a secure Adyen payment page where they can pay with their preferred payment method. The payment page works across different devices, and can be customized with your brand name and logo.
Payment links are removed automatically three months after they have been created.
Use the
Pay by Link iOS app
to manage payment links from your iOS mobile device.

Add your terms and conditions
According to consumer law and scheme regulations, merchants must inform shoppers of the terms and conditions that apply to their purchase. This means you must add your terms and conditions to the Adyen-hosted payment page. Make sure that your terms and conditions have all the required information.
Before creating your first live payment link, you must add your terms and conditions URL.
To add terms and conditions, you must have one of the following user roles:
- Merchant admin
- Pay by Link Settings
- Log in to your live Customer Area.
- Go to Pay by Link > Settings.
- In the Terms and conditions URL field, add the URL to your terms and conditions.
