Payment Links
Overview
Payment Links allow you to accept payments without writing any code. Basqet generates a secure, hosted payment page that you can share with customers.
When a customer opens the link, they are taken to a Basqet-hosted checkout page where they can complete the payment using one of the supported currencies.
Payment links are ideal for merchants who want to start accepting payments quickly without integrating APIs or SDKs.
