Accept Your First Payment

Payment links are the fastest way to accept crypto. Create a link, send it to your customer, and they pay with their preferred stablecoin.

Turn payments on first

Stablecoin payments are an add-on. If you have not enabled them, the Payments section will not appear in the sidebar and this guide will not apply yet.

Enable it under Settings → Payments, which also walks you through the two prerequisites for settling real money: business verification and a settlement wallet. You can build and test everything below in test mode while verification is still in progress.

1. Go to Payments

   In the dashboard sidebar, open Payments → Transactions. Then click the Create Payment Link button. (Payments → Overview is the summary view: volume, balances and recent activity.)

2. Set the amount

   Enter the payment amount in USD. Add a description so your customer knows what they’re paying for (e.g., “Website design deposit”).

3. Choose blockchain

   Select which blockchain to accept payment on — Solana or an EVM chain (Ethereum, Base, Polygon). Your customer will pay with USDC or USDT on the selected chain.

   Tip

   Solana offers the fastest confirmation times and lowest fees. It’s the best choice for most merchants.

4. Create the link

   Click Create to generate your payment link. You’ll see:

   • A shareable URL
   • A QR code for in-person payments
   • The amount and blockchain details

5. Share with your customer

   Copy the link and send it via email, text, or social media. You can also download or display the QR code for in-person payments.

6. Customer pays

   Your customer opens the link, connects their wallet (Phantom, MetaMask, etc.), selects a stablecoin, and confirms the transaction. The payment settles directly to your connected wallet.

7. Track the payment

   The Transactions page updates in real-time. You’ll see the payment appear with:

   • Transaction hash (on-chain proof)
   • Customer wallet address
   • Token and amount
   • Timestamp

Payment fees

Plirin charges a percentage-based transaction fee that depends on your pricing tier:

Tier	Fee
Growth	1.5%
Scale	1.0%
Enterprise	Custom

Accepting payments is an add-on, available from the Growth plan up. The free Starter tier is invoicing only and has no transaction fee, because it cannot take payments.

The fee is transparently shown to the customer at checkout and deducted from the payment amount.
