Create payment links at scale via API.
Create a payment link for every order, booking or invoice straight from your own system. One call returns a Cedar-hosted page, ready to send however you like.
- One call, one link
- Send the line items and get back a pay_url for that customer.
- Safe to retry
- Repeat a request with the same Idempotency-Key and you get the first link back, not a second one.
- Test mode first
- Build against sandbox keys. The same call works live.
