Introduction

The checkout link feature is for businesses and organizations with an app, website or software product who seek a streamlined method to accept online payments for their goods and services. By making an API request to our checkout link generation endpoint, merchants can create a unique checkout link from their apps, websites, or systems. Once generated, this link can process multiple payments, giving a notification each time a transaction is processed, with all transactions easily viewable in the ClickPesa dashboard. See Common Use Cases for where this fits your business.

​
How to Use the Feature

To use this feature, you need a ClickPesa account with full KYC and the Checkout Link feature activated in your dashboard settings. For testing, you can use a sandbox account while completing registration and KYC with ClickPesa’s compliance team. Activate Checkout Link under Settings → Collection in the Merchant Dashboard. See Collection Settings for the full walkthrough. After activation, create checkout links and collect payments using the Checkout Link API.
