# How do I create a payment link?

### Accessing link creation
From your dashboard, 
* click on **Create a payment link** on the Homepage,
* or click on **Payment link** in the left menu, then on **Create a link**.
The page is divided into two sections: **Payment details** and **Customer information**. 
A live preview is displayed on the right.

### Section 1 — Payment details
**Amount:** Enter the amount to collect (minimum €1.00 - maximum €40 000.00 ). You can also enable the **"Let the customer define the amount"** toggle if you want your customer to choose.
**Billing type** Choose how the customer is charged:
* **One-time** (default): the customer pays once.
* **Recurring**: the customer is charged automatically on a repeating cycle. See [How do I create a recurring payment link?](https://corebycarlo.crisp.help/en/article/how-do-i-create-a-recurring-payment-link-9yu2e3/) for the full setup.
**Available options**
* **Accept multiple payments**: the same link can be used by multiple customers or multiple times. Disabled by default (single-use link).
* **Add an expiry date**: the link becomes inactive after the chosen date.

###### Additional details
* **Link label** *(required):* Name displayed on the payment page. Examples: "Private event access", "Coaching session".
* **Invoice number** *(optional):* Internal reference for your exports and accounting. Example: FAC-2025-0012.
* **Payment note** *(optional, max 100 characters): *Short description visible in your dashboard. Not shown to the customer.
* **Attachment** *(optional): *Attach a quote, invoice, or image (image or PDF format).

### Section 2 — Customer information
You can select an existing customer from your contact list, or enter new information manually.
* **Customer type** — Individual or Business
* **Name / Company name**
* **Phone** — if filled in, the link can be sent by SMS
* **Email** — if filled in, the link can be sent by email
* **Billing details** — VAT, address *(optional)*
* **Save this customer to my contacts** — toggle to save the customer for future use

### Create and send the link
Once the information has been filled in, check the payment link preview and click **Create payment link**.
Once the link is created, you can:
* Send it by **email** if the customer's email address is filled in
* **Copy the link** manually to send it via the channel of your choice
