Creating payment links

Payment links provide a no-code method for collecting customer payments via chat, email, or phone using secure, Xendit-hosted checkout sessions. Through your dashboard, you can manually generate hosted payment sessions, track active checkouts, and monitor customer activity in real time.

Monitoring and Tracking

The main Payment Links interface provides a comprehensive, tabular view of all historical and active payment sessions. You can easily use filters and the search bar to locate specific links or drill down into your payment data.

• Overview Timeline: A chronological audit trail of all events associated with a single payment link (e.g., created, viewed, paid).
