Payment Link review
A focused payment-request tool for solo sellers who want branded checkout pages.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Payment Link is a hosted payment collection service for freelancers, tradespeople, retailers and other small businesses. It creates payment requests, dedicated payment pages with custom URLs, in-person QR-code payment options and a micro e-commerce store for fixed-price products. Customers pay in a browser with cards, Apple Pay or Google Pay, while businesses can send branded payment pages, emails and invoices. The web-based service is best suited to solo sellers who need a branded way to request and collect payments without a broad commerce suite.
Pricing is structured across Solo, Team and Enterprise tiers, with monthly and annual billing. Solo costs $20 per month monthly or $16 per month annually; Team costs $45 monthly or $35 annually; Enterprise costs $95 monthly or $75 annually. All listed plans include payment links, a dedicated payment page, QR code payments, an e-commerce shop, branded payment pages and reporting. A 30-day trial gives prospective customers time to assess the workflow before choosing a paid tier. The main pricing consideration is whether the higher Team or Enterprise fees match the needs of a larger operating group, since the published plan highlights are otherwise the same.
The product’s strongest fit is a straightforward collection workflow: create a request, share it through common messaging channels, accept payment, and receive notifications and emailed receipts. Repeat customers can have their details completed automatically, while dashboard reporting and CSV or Excel exports support basic administration. Stripe is the required payment gateway, and the product is available on the web. Choose Payment Link if branded payment requests, QR collection and a small fixed-price catalog are the priority. Businesses seeking broader payment-method coverage or a more extensive commerce system should consider a different type of service.
