PayRequest Upload

PayRequest Upload is a one-page, WeTransfer-style shortcut for selling a single file. Drop a file, set a price, and get a shareable payment link in seconds — no product wizard, no shop setup.
Available at payrequest.me/upload (also reachable at payrequest.app/upload). The page itself is open to everyone — you only need a PayRequest account at the final step, to publish the link.

Any File, Instantly

Drag and drop almost any file type — audio, video, images, ZIPs, 3D models, fonts, design files — up to 250MB

Auto-Detected Details

The title is pre-filled from your filename and the file category is detected automatically — both editable

Pay to Unlock, Optional

For photos and audio tracks, flip on Pay to Unlock to sell behind a free preview instead of an instant download

No Setup Required

Behind the scenes it creates a normal product and a Smart Link for you — nothing to configure first

How It Works

1

Drop your file

Go to payrequest.me/upload and drag your file into the upload box, or click to browse. Files up to 250MB are accepted, in almost any format.
2

Check the details

PayRequest fills in a Title from your filename and shows the detected file category (e.g. “Audio”, “Software & Code”). Adjust the title if you like.
3

Set a price

Enter what you want to charge. Your account’s currency symbol is shown automatically.
4

Optional: Pay to Unlock

If you uploaded a photo or an audio track, a checkbox appears: Activate Pay to Unlock (free preview). Turn it on to sell the file behind a blurred preview or a short audio clip instead of delivering it instantly — see Pay to Unlock for details.
5

Generate your link

Click Generate Payment Link. If you’re not signed in yet, you’ll be asked to sign in or create a free account first — see below. Once that’s done, your link is ready immediately: payrequest.me/[handle]/[filename].

Signing In Partway Through

You don’t need an account to fill out the form — only to publish the link. Clicking Generate Payment Link while signed out shows a Sign in or create a free account to publish this link prompt.
Signing in or registering always happens on the main PayRequest app, not on payrequest.me. Once you’re authenticated there (including two-factor authentication, if you use it), you’re brought straight back to finish publishing — no need to re-select your file.
If you don’t have a PayRequest Page handle yet, one is created automatically so your link works right away.

What Gets Created

Every link from PayRequest Upload is backed by two ordinary PayRequest records — nothing exotic, and both are fully visible and manageable afterwards:
CreatedWhere to find it
A product (Digital Product, or Pay to Unlock if you enabled it)Products in your dashboard
A Smart Link pointing to that productPayment Page → Smart Links
Because it’s a normal Smart Link under the hood, everything documented in Smart Links — analytics, QR codes, payment limits, reminders — applies to links created via PayRequest Upload too.
Uploaded the wrong file, or want to change the price? Edit the product from Products in your dashboard — the Smart Link keeps pointing to the same URL.

FAQ

No. You can drop a file, see the detected category, and fill in a title and price without signing in. An account is only required when you click Generate Payment Link.
Almost anything except executable and script files (for security). This covers documents, spreadsheets, presentations, images, audio, video, archives, fonts, and common design and 3D formats.
Yes — open the product from your dashboard and change its type, the same as any product created through the full product wizard.
