Many freelancers and small business owners love to use Cashfree Payment Links because it is a convenient, no-code and low-effort way to collect payments from customers without needing to build your own website or application. Mid-sized D2C businesses across India use our Payment Link solutions to recover abandoned carts and increase their conversion rate, or to collect payments at the time of delivery from their customers. Several enterprise financial services companies use Cashfree Payment Links when they need to collect customized amounts from different customers, and when it's more convenient for end-users to click a link and make a payment then open an application or website.

You should use a payment link when you are communicating with an end-user via digital messaging channels such as social media DMs, Whatsapp, or e-mail and want to collect a custom or customizable amount from them. Using Payment Links is more professional for freelancers than sharing their UPI details and asking customers to make payments. It is a great way to collect payments from your customers, but not a great way to sell products or services to them. The most popular use case is where the customer has decided to make the purchase via a phone call or some other touchpoint, and just the payment has to be collected.
