A payment link that does it all
Fast and flexible setup

Customisable experience
Tailor your link to your brand and your business’s unique requirements by adding custom fields and your logo and business name. Easily add options for accepting buyer-entered amounts and tips.
Take payment for almost anything
Accept payments for donations, deposits, classes, recurring subscriptions, almost anything. Plus, you can accept payments from multiple customers simultaneously with just a single link.
Share on multiple channels
Send links via email and group text, add them to social posts or embed buy buttons on your blog or website. Print QR codes on brochures, flyers or signs to take contactless payments easily.
Optimised checkout flow
When a payment link gets opened, a simple checkout page launches. Customers can then easily pay using Apple Pay, Google Pay, Afterpay, credit or debit cards.
Built-in data tools
Reduce the number of systems you use to manage payments. Every link has built-in tracking and reporting. See which customers have paid and monitor sales performance in Square Dashboard.
“Setup was seamless and it was easy for employees to understand and use. More importantly, it offers a quick and secure way for our customers to make a purchase remotely.”

“Square payment links provide us with a full basket of payment solutions, alongside the Square Readers, for our fleet of full-service hard rubbish removal trucks that operate throughout Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and the Gold Coast.”
Simplify all kinds of payments
Professional services and trades
When you accept payment for a standard deposit or standard service charge you can use the same link every time. No need to waste time and effort creating a new link when charging for a service with a set cost.
Healthcare and wellness
With the ability to add custom fields to your checkout page, you can collect specific information about your patient or clients. Send a single link to multiple people, such as participants in a fitness class, via email or group text instead of sending separate payment reminders to each person.
Events and memberships
Easy sharing of payment links via social media, email or text can help generate donations, membership sign-ups, class enrolment and event attendance. With Square Payment Links, you can offer a frictionless payment experience for your members.

FAQs
You can create a payment link from the Payment Links section on the online Square Dashboard or from the Payment Links add-on in the Square POS app. There, you’ll choose either Collect a payment, Sell an item, or Sell classes or tickets. Enter a title for your link, and the amount you’re charging for an item or collecting as payment. If an item is from your library, the price will pre-populate. After you save your payment link you can then choose to format it as a buy button or generate a QR code, depending on how you want to share it or get it in front of your customers, clients or donors.
When the recipient of your link clicks on it, or if you’re using a QR code, scans it, they’ll open a secure online checkout page where they can submit payment. This page can be customised with your business name or logo. You can also add custom form fields to the information displayed on your checkout page, as well as customise the button colour and button text.
There is no monthly fee for using Square Payment Links. You’ll only pay Square standard eCommerce processing fee of 2.2% per transaction and you can accept a variety of payment methods, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, Square Pay, Afterpay (6% + 30c (excl. GST) per transaction) and card payment. Upon completion of a transaction, funds are transferred to the bank account you have linked to your Square account.
You have a number of options when it comes to sharing payment links. Easily paste a pay link in an email or a Whatsapp or SMS message and send it to a group of recipients all at once. All it takes is one link and you can collect payment from multiple people for the same item or service. Or post a link on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter and turn those social media sites into a payment gateway. Payment links can be saved as buy buttons that you can embed on an existing website or blog to quickly introduce an e-commerce component to those online destinations. You can also format your pay links as a QR code that you can print on signs or flyers that customers can scan with their phone and get taken directly to a mobile-ready payment page.
All Square products, including Square Payment Links, run on Square’s payments platform. From the time a customer uses a credit card or enters their information into our solutions, payment data is encrypted until it reaches Square’s processing environment. Our proprietary tokenisation scheme ensures that unencrypted payment data never touches your device or application. In addition, Square complies with the PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), which is a standard put forth by the five largest credit card companies to help reduce costly consumer and bank data breaches.
