Payment links
Payment links for every product, offer, and campaign.
Send a link, get paid. Every product and subscription in EPD Commerce comes with its own payment link, and you can create as many custom links as you need for promotions, partners, and sales reps. Every sale is tracked back to the link that made it.
System links
Your checkout is ready the moment you add a product.
When you create a product or subscription, EPD Commerce automatically creates a System Link for it. It is always on, so you can copy it and start selling right away. No checkout page to build, no website required.
- 01 One link for every product and subscription, created automatically
- 02 Always active, so the link you share never stops working
- 03 Opens a secure, hosted checkout with your branding
How it works
Create a link in 3 steps.
-
Step 1: Choose what you are selling
Add a product, a subscription, or leave it empty to create a custom amount link.
-
Step 2: Set the details
Name the link, add a tracking ID, set the price, and choose which coupons buyers can use.
-
Step 3: Share it anywhere
Copy the link and send it by email, text, DM, or invoice, or post it in your bio. When a buyer pays, the sale shows up under that link.
Link types
One feature, every way you sell.
Product links
Sell a single product at its regular price or at a campaign price, without creating a duplicate product.
Subscription links
Start a subscription from a link. Buyers see their upcoming charges before they pay, and renewals run on the schedule you set.
Custom amount links
Collect a payment that is not tied to a product, like a deposit, a balance due, or a donation. Set a fixed amount, or let buyers choose an amount within a range you control.
Custom links
Run a different offer without rebuilding your catalog.
Create as many links as you need for the same product or subscription. Each one can have its own name, price, coupons, and tracking ID, while your product stays the same.
If you set a price above the product's original price, EPD Commerce shows a warning so you can confirm the markup is intentional.
- Promotions
- A Black Friday price on one link, the regular price on another
- Affiliates and partners
- A unique link for each partner, so you know who drove each sale
- Sales reps
- A link for each rep, with the rep attached to every sale they close
- Events and launches
- A link just for a webinar, live event, or email campaign
Attribution
Know which link made every sale.
Every transaction records the name and tracking ID of the link it came from. See sales by link in the Payment Links table, then compare campaigns, partners, and reps side by side.
- Link name and tracking ID saved on every transaction
- Sales volume and creation date for each link
- Sales still count toward the original product, so product totals stay accurate
Collect the details you need
Add custom fields to any link.
Ask for the information that matters to that sale. Custom fields on a payment link stay with the order.
- Sales agent
- Attach a rep to the link. Buyers cannot see or change it.
- Gift choice
- Let buyers of a bundle pick their bonus item from a dropdown.
- Reason for payment
- Ask buyers what a custom amount payment is for.
The checkout
A checkout your buyers can trust.
Every payment link opens a secure, hosted checkout page served by EPD Commerce.
See all payment options- Your store branding on every link
- Cards, Apple Pay, and the payment methods you offer
- Coupon codes, with control over which coupons work on each link
- PCI-compliant hosted checkout, so card data never touches your servers
- A QR code for any link, for in-person sales, events, and printed invoices
Control
Turn links on and off when you need to.
Pause a custom link when a promotion ends and turn it back on later. A reactivated link keeps its original URL, so anything you already shared works again. Buyers who open a paused link see a clear "Link unavailable" page instead of an error.
System Links are always on, so your standard checkout for each product is never interrupted.
Bulk creation
Create hundreds of links at once.
Moving from another platform or launching a big campaign? Upload a CSV to create product, subscription, and custom amount links in bulk, including coupon settings. Developers can create and manage links through the EPD Commerce API and MCP server.

FAQ
Payment links questions.
What is a payment link?
A payment link is a URL that opens a secure checkout page for a product, subscription, or custom amount. You share the link and the buyer pays on the page. You do not need a website or a shopping cart.
How do I create a payment link in EPD Commerce?
Every product and subscription gets a System Link automatically. To make a custom link, open Payment Links, choose a product or subscription (or leave it empty for a custom amount), set the details, and copy the link.
Can I have more than one payment link for the same product?
Yes. Create as many custom links as you need for the same product or subscription, each with its own name, tracking ID, price, and coupons.
Can I change the price on a payment link?
Yes. You can set a different price on a custom link without creating a new product. Sales still count toward the original product in your reporting.
Can customers choose how much to pay?
Yes. A custom amount link can be fixed, or flexible within a minimum and maximum you set. Buyers see your default amount first and can adjust it within that range.
Can payment links start a subscription?
Yes. A subscription link starts the subscription at checkout, and renewals follow the plan's schedule.
How do I track which link made a sale?
Each transaction records the link name and tracking ID, so you can see sales by campaign, partner, or sales rep.
What happens when I turn off a payment link?
Buyers who open it see a "Link unavailable" page. When you turn it back on, it keeps the same URL.
Can I create payment links in bulk?
Yes. Upload a CSV to create links in bulk, or use the API and MCP server.
Do I need a website to use payment links?
No. Send the link by email, text, or DM, or turn it into a QR code.
