Cashfree Payment Links lets businesses collect payments through a branded checkout page without needing a website or coding. Merchants can share links by WhatsApp, SMS, email, QR code, social channels, or invoices. WhatsApp-native links display a branded widget within the chat rather than redirecting customers to a browser. Customers can pay using UPI, cards, net banking, wallets, and more than 180 payment methods. Merchants can allow staged payments, set an expiry date, or leave a link active until they deactivate it. CSV or Excel uploads can create hundreds of links at once; APIs can create, manage, and track links, and dashboard creation is also listed. Eligible businesses can receive settlements starting from 15 minutes. The free plan lists link creation and reminders at no cost; standard Payment Gateway charges apply. Payment limits depend on account configuration, business profile, and regulatory requirements. Listed integrations include Shopify, Wix, WooCommerce, PayPal, WordPress, and Zoho.
Who it is for
