Create Payment Links via Webapp
Accept payments from anywhere with a secure link
With Payment links, merchants can allow their shoppers to make payments just by clicking a payment link and/or a QR code. The URL takes the cardholder to our Airwallex secure hosted payment page (redirect) where they can pay by simply entering the card details of their preferred payment method (cards or local payment methods). From there, the process is no different than a regular checkout process for an e-commerce transaction.
Pay by Link enables merchants to:
- Accept payments with a payment page that works with different devices
- Generate payment URLs or QR codes manually or programmatically by sending an API request
- Create reusable or one-time payment requests to accept multiple payments
- Customize the checkout page with their logo
- Add one more channel for merchants to accept payments (without technical integration required)

Get started
In order to create a request for their shoppers, merchants will need to go through the traditional onboarding process and provide information about their business. After review, merchants will be able to share payment requests.
Create a payment request
Once the onboarding process has been successfully passed, the merchants can easily create payment requests by simply clicking Payments>Payment Links>New payment link
The merchants can create either a one-time or reusable request. In the picture below, the reusable request feature is not activated. Additionally, the merchants can choose to share a payment request with a fixed amount and currency or leave it for the shopper to enter. If the merchant wants the shopper to enter the amount, the merchant will simply have to tick the box "Let your customer provide a payment amount". Shoppers can pay with the payment methods that the merchant has selected during the onboarding process.
Please collect billing address to leverage Address Verification Service
Enable currency switching for your shoppers
You can now allow your shoppers to pay in their preferred currency. Ensure that "Automatic Currency Conversion" in your Airwallex Webapp is switched on.
Shopper Experience
This will allow your shoppers to select their preferred currency during payment. This will allow shoppers to pay using their preferred local payment methods regardless of the currency you used to set up your Payment Links
Share the QR code or URL with your shoppers
Once ready, the merchant can share the URL or the QR code with its shoppers.
Manage your requests
The merchants can manage all the created requests in our web app. The merchants can take multiple actions from there:
- Edit a request
- Deactivate a request
- Delete a request
- View transactions made with a given request
Merchants can also review the transactions in Payments, on the left menu for more details. For more information on how to use the Airwallex web app, refer to the web app section on the left menu of our website.
