Create and manage Pay Links

Last updated April 13, 2026 18:12

With Pay Links, you can accept payments without an online store or product catalog. Share unique links via social media, email, or QR code to send customers to a dedicated checkout page. Pay Links are for single-item products, donations, or tips. To manage project work or recurring payments, use invoices instead.

Pay Links are available on the following website plans:

You can create and manage an unlimited amount of active links. To send Pay Links, you need to connect a payment processor to your site, like Squarespace Payments, Stripe, and PayPal. If you use Square, you can’t use Pay Links.

To create a Pay Link for a fixed amount or a flexible amount (like tips):

  • On a computer

  • From the Squarespace App

  • Open the Invoicing panel and click Pay Links.

  • Click Create Pay Link, then Create New.
  • In the Pay Link Title field, enter a title for the link.
  • In the Amount field, enter the cost of your product or service.
  • Switch the Flexible amount toggle on or off.
  • In the Item Name field, enter a short description for the link. This name appears on the customer's cart and checkout screen.
  • Select an Item Type from the dropdown menu. This ensures the correct tax rules are applied.
  • Under Settings, you can manage the following:
  • Taxes: Switch the toggle on to charge applicable taxes at checkout.

  • Click Save and Share.

  • Open the Squarespace app.

  • Tap Selling, and tap Pay Links.
  • Tap Create Pay Link.
  • Enter the link details.
  • To add branding, tap the image icon to upload a logo or product image.
  • Tap Create Pay Link.
  • Tap Share Link to send the URL or tap the QR code icon to show a code for customers to scan.

Pay Links don’t link to specific products in your inventory. To keep your records accurate, update your stock levels after each sale. If you plan to create links for physical products, set up shipping options.

  • Click the ... icon on a link, and click Share.
  • Click Copy link to copy the link to your device.

  • You can also display the QR code on your device for the customer to scan with their phone's camera.

  • Click Close.

  • Open the Squarespace app.

  • Tap Selling, and tap Pay Links.
  • Tap the link you want to share.

  • QR code icon: Tap this to display a QR code on your screen for the customer to scan with their camera.

To manage revenue and views, use the Pay Links dashboard. To view individual customer details and issue refunds, use the Orders panel.

To track Pay Links:

  • On a computer

  • From the Squarespace app

  • Open the Invoicing panel and click Pay Links.

  • Review the Sales and Views columns to see how each link is performing.

  • To receive an alert the moment a customer pays, enable push notifications:
  • Tap Settings, then tap Notifications.

You can change the details of a Pay Link only if a customer hasn't used it yet. If it’s already been used to make a purchase, you can only edit the Pay Link Title.

To edit a Pay Link:

  • On a computer

  • From the Squarespace app

  • Open the Invoicing panel and click Pay Links.

  • Click the ... icon on a link, and click Edit.
  • Click Edit Pay Link, and make your changes.

  • Click Save & Share.

  • Tap Selling, and tap Pay Links.
  • Tap the link you want to change.
  • Tap any field to update the title, price, or image.
  • Tap Save in the top-right corner.

To stop accepting orders for an item, disable or delete your links.

Disabling a Pay Link takes the link offline but saves your settings. You can disable the link to stop it from accepting new orders. This is helpful if you need to create a new link with an updated price or if an item sells out.

To disable a Pay Link:

  • On a computer

  • From the Squarespace App

  • Open the Invoicing panel and click Pay Links.

  • Click the ... icon on a link, and click Disable.
  • Click Disable Link.

  • A confirmation message displays after the link is disabled successfully.

  • Open the Squarespace app.

  • Tap Selling, and tap Pay Links
  • Tap the link you want to disable.
  • Switch the Active toggle off.

Deleting a Pay Link permanently removes the link. If a customer has already used a link, it can't be deleted. You can delete a Pay Link if it hasn’t been used yet by a customer to make a purchase.

To delete a Pay Link:

  • On a computer

  • From the Squarespace App

  • Open the Invoicing panel and click Pay Links.

  • Click the ... icon on a link, and click Delete.
  • Click Delete Link.

  • A confirmation message displays after the link is deleted successfully.

  • Open the Squarespace app.

  • Tap Selling, and tap Pay Links.
  • Tap Delete Pay Link at the bottom of the screen, then tap Delete again to confirm.

Any store-wide rules you've set up in your checkout settings also apply to Pay Link transactions, including order minimums. If your store has a minimum order amount, customers must meet that total before they can complete a purchase via a Pay Link.
