Further payment journey

The checkoutUrl that you receive is a direct link to the checkout page.

Using the link

This link can be used directly in your customer communication channel (on an invoice, in an email or SMS etc). When the shopper clicks it they will be automatically taken to the checkout to finalise their payment.

You could also use the checkoutUrl link to generate a QR code for your customer to scan.

Validity period of links

Links generated by the pay-by-link endpoint are valid for the maximum allowable period of 30 days by default (which is 43,200 minutes). Note that this is different to regular payments generated using the v2/payments endpoint, which are valid for 30 minutes.

You can reduce the Pay by Link validity period by using the optional validityPeriod parameter and supplying a value in minutes.
