Payment Links

Payment Links are the fastest way to accept payments with Coal. They allow you to sell products or accept donations without writing a single line of code.

[!NOTE] Payment Links are perfect for no-code use cases, newsletters, social media, and direct messages.

How it works

1. Create a Link: Go to the Console, navigate to Payment Links, and click "Create New".
2. Configure: Choose a specific product to sell, or leave it open for donations (flexible amount).
3. Share: Copy the generated URL (e.g. usecoal.xyz/pay/my-product) and send it to your customers.

Use Cases

Selling Products

If you have a fixed price item (like the "Super Coffee" in our demo), you can link a Payment Link directly to a Product. When the user visits the link, they will see the product details and price automatically.

Accepting Donations

If you select "Donation" or leave the product field empty, the user can enter any amount they wish to pay. This is ideal for:

• Content creators accepting tips.
• Open source projects.
• Charity causes.

Customization

Payment Links automatically use your Merchant Profile settings (Name, Logo) to brand the checkout page, ensuring a trusted experience for your users.
