A PayLink has three statuses. Find them under Finance → PayLinks.
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Created | Made but not yet paid. Ready to send |
| Paid | Someone has paid it |
| Expired | No longer payable |
Created
The starting state. The link exists and is payable, but nobody has paid it.
You'll see This PayLink has been created. Send it to get paid! Use Send to deliver it by email or SMS, or Share Link to copy the URL.
A link left at Created for a while usually means the payer never received it, or received it without enough context to act on. Worth a follow-up message rather than a second link.
Paid
Someone has paid. The payment appears under Finance → Payments with the type PayLink, carries your plan's platform fee, and follows your normal payout delay.
Expand the PayLink for the full detail: the payer's email, the amount, and the fee breakdown, plus View Payment and View Transfer to follow the money.
Expired
No longer payable. You'll see This PayLink has expired. Create a new link to accept additional payments.
If the payer still needs to pay, create a fresh link and send that one.
One payment per link
A PayLink covers a single payment. If you're collecting twice from the same person — a deposit now and a balance later — that's two links.
For anything with a real payment schedule, a proposal handles it properly: two payments, a due date on the second, and terms behind both. See Creating a PayLink for where the line sits.
Deleting one
Delete removes a link. Do it if you sent one with the wrong amount, or if you'd rather an unused link stopped being payable.
Deleting doesn't affect a payment that has already been made through it.
Keeping the list clean
Worth clearing out old Created links you're not chasing. It makes the ones you are chasing visible.
