The shortest route is onboarding → payment-ready connection → one payment link. You do not need a product catalog, a custom domain or an API integration to share an amount-based link. Provider registration and verification can take additional time. There is no guaranteed time to your first payment.

1. Start in onboarding

Open onboarding, rather than starting in dashboard settings. Tell us what you sell, what you want to automate, your current workflow and payment situation. Your answers are saved when submitted. Choose a plan and complete the steps offered for your account. Add business details when requested and review currency and tax settings. Follow a checkout prompt for a selected paid plan; selecting it alone does not activate paid features.

2. Connect your payment account

Confirm the actual legal country of your payment account. Choose an available Stripe, Mollie or PayPal connection and authorize it on the provider’s website. Your saved provider choice appears first. Return to PayRequest and check payment readiness. A successful sign-in does not necessarily mean verification is complete. If you stop here, use I’m stuck or the connection troubleshooting guide. If your provider is absent, request it for review. A request does not enable payments or replace an approved receiving account.

3. Finish the setup shown

Create your PayRequest Page when prompted and choose an available handle. Add enough information for a customer to recognize you. You can add a banner, more branding and a custom domain later. If a first-product step is offered, skip it when you only need an amount-based link. Full onboarding guide. Once the account is payment-ready and setup is complete:
  1. Open Create an amount link.
  2. Enter the agreed amount and a clear description. Review the currency and available options, then create the link.
  3. Open the link to review what the customer will see. Opening checkout is not a payment.
  4. Copy and share the link with your customer. Check the recorded payment status after they pay; a return to a success page alone is not a substitute for payment confirmation.
You do not need to send yourself a real payment to finish this guide. Do not assume a live checkout is a sandbox.
