No-code payments: Simplify transactions with payment links

What does no-code mean?

Using no-code solutions, you can start getting paid in minutes. Taking days or weeks to implement online payment processing is in the past — and you can accept payments from customers anywhere you sell.

Since little to no programming knowledge is needed, no-code integrations are a solid option for sellers who:

• Don’t have a website

• Need a way to get paid quickly and easily for goods and services

• Want to create a single, instant payment link to use across sales channels such as social media platforms

No-code payments can also cut overhead costs because they don’t require extensive tech teams or developers for setup and maintenance.

Who are no-code payments for?

Whether you’re coaching job seekers, photographing weddings, or selling candles at a crafts market, no-code payments offer a fast and simple way to accept different payment methods. They’re especially helpful for budding entrepreneurs who don’t have the technical expertise, time, or resources to set up the traditional payment processing options for small businesses. No-code payments also let you get paid via multiple channels: in person, on social media, and on your website.

Take a hobbyist jeweler who sells pieces at a local art fair and promotes them on social media. With a no-code solution, the jeweler generates a code that directs customers to pay for goods — no website required. Customers can scan a QR code and pay in person.

Additionally, online-only businesses can easily use no-code solutions. OVC, an online business that specializes in digital marketing for lawyers, uses PayPal payment links as a secure and simple way to get paid for services.

How do no-code payments work?

No-code payment solutions like payment links offer a straightforward and flexible way for businesses to set up online payments, regardless of whether they have a website.

Businesses have experienced a 28% increase in sales after implementing payment links alongside their existing payment solutions.¹

With a website

For businesses with websites, no-code payments simplify the integration of payment systems. Here's how it works:

• Generate a payment link. This should be tailored to your specific offerings, whether that’s products or services.

• Embed it on your website. Place your link on product pages, in shopping carts, or at any point where payment is required.

• Secure checkout. When customers are ready to purchase, they just click the payment link, which sends them to a secure payment portal. Here, they can complete their purchases using their preferred payment method.

Without a website

Even if you don’t have a website, no-code solutions make setting up online payments accessible and efficient:

• Share links or codes through multiple channels. Share QR codes or link them on invoices, emails, physical signage, or even on social media platforms.

• Get instant access to payments. Customers make payments by scanning QR codes with their mobile devices or clicking the links, sending them to secure payment portals to complete their transactions.

Note that you won’t have to create a new link or QR code if you make changes to product offerings, such as price or description. Updates are reflected automatically.
