What are Swaps Payment Links?

A payment link is an invoice-like payment request behind a simple URL. You create it with a client, line items, and an intended settlement destination. Your client opens the link, sees who is requesting payment and exactly how much, then pays through a rail that is available for that invoice, payer type, and provider session.

Who can pay a payment link?

The addressed payer can open the link without a Swaps account. Available payer types, rails, limits, and verification requirements depend on provider policy, invoice currency, payer location, and whether the payer is a business or an individual.

Are there limits for payers?

Yes. Limits are provider and rail specific. Business payer support, individual payer support, amount caps, excluded states, and allowed currencies are checked before the payer chooses a rail. The payment page should only show options that are available for that link.

How do I receive the money?

You choose an intended settlement destination when creating the link. Depending on enabled workspace capabilities and provider support, that can be a supported crypto wallet destination such as USDC, or a supported bank destination. The activated link should preserve the reviewed destination snapshot.

There is no subscription or setup cost for drafting links. Provider costs, network costs, FX or spread, and any Swaps service fee must be visible before money moves. Swaps may earn provider-side commission or route-specific service revenue on completed payments.

Do I need a business account to activate links?

No. A verified business or a verified individual can activate links. You can draft links before verification; activation also depends on permitted-use checks, workspace and provider eligibility, and settlement support.

Does Swaps hold my funds?

It depends on the route. On a Bridge route, Bridge and its partners receive, convert and deliver the funds under Bridge's terms. On the Tempo crypto route, the payer pays a contract bound to your wallet: you receive the invoice amount and the Swaps fee goes to a Swaps fee wallet. An overpayment can reach that wallet too; Swaps accepts requests to return it. Swaps does not hold your wallet signing key.

Which payment rails are supported?

Rail availability is provider and market dependent. Examples can include ACH or wire for USD, SEPA for EUR, Faster Payments for GBP, PIX for BRL, and SPEI for MXN where those rails are enabled. The payer should only see rails that match the live link.

Can I get paid in USDC?

USDC settlement can be available where the workspace, provider, asset, network, and destination support it. Your client can still pay through an available bank rail, while the merchant settlement path is checked before activation.

Do my clients need a crypto wallet?

Not for bank-rail payment links where a supported provider rail is available. The payer experience is a payment page and payment instructions. Crypto can remain on the merchant settlement side when that destination is enabled.

Which currencies and countries can a client pay from?

Available currencies, countries, and rails are determined by provider support, invoice currency, payer type, merchant state, and destination eligibility. Public examples should be treated as supported-where-enabled, not universal coverage.

How fast does the money arrive?

Timing depends on the selected rail, provider, bank, and settlement destination. Expected processing time should be shown before the payer sends funds, and the merchant dashboard tracks each link through available status events.

Can individuals create payment links, or only businesses?

Both. A verified individual can activate links too, with lower limits than a business: each link is capped at USD 4,000, PIX and Faster Payments are not offered, and bank methods are added once bank payments are enabled for the account.

What can I invoice for?

Payment links are for collecting payment for your own goods and services. Certain deposit types and business categories are not permitted by provider policy. The permitted-deposit-types guide in the Help Center has the current details, and you confirm this with a short attestation when you activate a link.

Payment Links — laat je klant betalen zoals hij wil. Ontvang zoals jij wilt.

Een payment link van Swaps is een volledige factuur achter één simpele URL. Je maakt hem aan met een klant, factuurregels en een ontvangstbestemming; je klant opent de link — zonder Swaps-account — en betaalt via het bankkanaal van zijn voorkeur: ACH, bankoverschrijving, SEPA, Faster Payments, PIX of SPEI. Jij ontvangt zoals jij wilt: op een crypto-wallet (bijvoorbeeld USDC) of op je bankrekening.

Hoe het werkt

Maak een link — voeg je klant, de factuurregels en de plek waar je het geld wilt ontvangen toe, activeer daarna en deel.
Je klant kiest zijn bankkanaal — hij ziet precies wat hij verschuldigd is en betaalt vanuit zijn bank via ACH, bankoverschrijving, SEPA, Faster Payments, PIX of SPEI.
Ontvang zoals jij wilt — het geld komt aan op de bestemming die je hebt gekozen: een crypto-wallet of je bankrekening, met live status voor de hele route.

Ondersteunde betaalkanalen

ACH en bankoverschrijving voor USD, SEPA voor EUR, Faster Payments voor GBP, PIX voor BRL en SPEI voor MXN. Je klant ziet alleen de kanalen die passen bij de valuta van de factuur, samen met de verwachte verwerkingstijd.

Gemaakt voor facturatie

Klanten — houd op één plek bij aan wie je factureert, mensen en bedrijven.
Producten — sla de diensten en artikelen die je verkoopt één keer op en maak facturen op basis van de factuurregels.
Herinneringen — vriendelijke, geplande herinneringen voor onbetaalde links, op jouw voorwaarden.

Verificatie, eenmalig — zakelijk of particulier

Het opstellen van conceptlinks staat voor iedereen open; activeren is de enige stap die verificatie vereist. Een geverifieerd bedrijf of een geverifieerde particulier kan links activeren, en de verificatie is eenmalig. Voor particuliere accounts gelden lagere limieten: elke link is gemaximeerd op USD 4.000, PIX en Faster Payments worden niet aangeboden, en betaalmethoden via de bank komen erbij zodra bankbetalingen voor het account zijn ingeschakeld.
