Generating Payment Links
If you intend to integrate with the APIs, you can skip this section and check the endpoints for requesting payments.
However, these instructions could be handy in case your team needs to generate any crypto payment link manually.
Here is the information needed to generate crypto payment requests:
Asset: Choose a fiat asset that you would like to use in this transaction. Usually, it is the same as the Settlement Asset you configured during the onboarding process.
Amount: Amount in the fiat asset you would like to request.
Your internal reference: It could be an order number or a plain text description.
Recipient's e-mail address: Your customer's e-mail for receiving the payment link
Link Expiration (Advanced Option): By default, payment links expire after 72 hours. However, you can choose other options If you want.
Language (Advanced Option): This is your customer's preferred language to receive communications, such as the payment link details and payment receipt.
Your Customer's Experience
Beta will send the payment link instructions to the e-mail address informed in the recipient's e-mail address field.
Here are the steps for your customer to complete the payment:
1. Click on the payment link received by e-mail
2. Read payment link instructions
3. Choose a preferred crypto asset and generate a quote
4. Review the Quote to generate a crypto wallet
5. Proceed with the crypto deposit
Beta will hold the final quote for 20 minutes, and payers are expected to deposit before the countdown ends.
