Once you've created a PayLink, there are two ways to get it to the payer.

## Sending it from DJfindr

1. Go to **Finance → PayLinks**.
2. Find the link and select **Send**.
3. Choose **Email** or **SMS** under *How do you want to send it?*
4. Enter the **Email Address** or **Phone Number**.
5. Select **Send**.

The payer gets a branded message with the link.

## Sharing it yourself

**Share Link** copies the URL so you can paste it wherever you like — a message thread, a chat app, an email you're already writing.

## Which to use

**Send by email** when it's a business, a venue, or anything where the payer may need to forward it to someone who handles payments. Also better if they'll want a written record.

**Send by SMS** when you want it paid now. A link on someone's phone at the end of a night gets paid; an email waits until Monday.

**Share Link** when you're already in a conversation with them. Dropping the link into a thread you're both reading beats sending a separate message they have to go and find.

## Getting it paid

A link with no context often doesn't get paid. Whichever route you use, say what it's for and by when. "Here's the link for the speaker rental we discussed — £75, whenever suits before Friday" works better than a bare URL.

The **Description** you set when creating the link is what the payer sees on the checkout page, so make that specific too.

## What the payer experiences

A branded page with your name, what they're paying for, and the amount. They enter an email address and pay by card or digital wallet. No account needed, no signup.

## Following up

The PayLink status tells you where it stands — **Created** means nobody has paid it yet. See *PayLink Statuses*.

## Sending to the wrong address

Use **Send** again with the right details. If you'd rather the original wasn't payable, **Delete** it and create a replacement.

## A note on scope

A PayLink collects money and nothing else — no cancellation terms, no documents, no calendar block. For an actual booking, use a proposal instead. See [Creating a PayLink](/hc/djs/articles/1786047500-what-are-pay_links).
