Four-step workflow
How to create a payment link
The generator creates a real hosted checkout URL. It is not a mock link and it does not collect card details inside Eonebill.
- 1
Sign in and connect Stripe
Use an Eonebill account with an active Stripe payment account that has completed onboarding and can accept charges.
- 2
Enter the payment request
Add a USD amount of at least $0.50, a clear description or reference, and the customer email address.
- 3
Generate and email the link
Eonebill creates a hosted Stripe Checkout link and emails the payment request to the recipient.
- 4
Copy or open checkout
Copy the generated URL for another message or open it to review the customer checkout before they pay.
When to Use Payment Links Instead of Invoices
Payment links and invoices serve different purposes. Invoices are formal billing documents with payment terms—best for established B2B relationships. Payment links are immediate, frictionless collection tools—ideal when you need to get paid right now.
Perfect for One-Time Payments
If a customer needs to pay you immediately and you do not have an active billing relationship, a payment link is far faster than creating, sending, and waiting for an invoice approval. It is particularly popular for deposits, milestone payments, and emergency repairs.
Reducing Payment Friction
A hosted link takes the customer directly to Stripe Checkout without requiring them to enter your account details manually. Keep the amount and description clear so the customer can match the request to the work, deposit, or order they approved.
Sending a Clear Payment Request
Eonebill emails the amount, description, and a secure payment card to your recipient. The link is limited to one completed payment so the same request cannot be paid successfully more than once.
Frequently Asked Questions
A payment link is a unique Stripe Checkout URL you can send to a customer so they can pay you without an invoice. Sign in to Eonebill, connect an active Stripe Payment Account, then enter the amount, description, and recipient email.
When a customer clicks the payment card in the email, they are taken to a secure Stripe Checkout page. Stripe processes the payment through your active connected account and deposits the funds according to that account’s payout settings.
The generated link sends the customer to Stripe-hosted Checkout, where Stripe handles card entry and payment processing. Eonebill emails the checkout link, amount, and description rather than placing card details in the message.
You can create a standalone link for a deposit or partial amount, but it is not automatically attached to an existing Eonebill invoice. Use the invoice payment flow when the payment must update a specific invoice.
Stripe Checkout shows the payment methods enabled and available for your connected Stripe account, customer, currency, and location. Availability can differ between Stripe accounts.
