# Payment links

A *payment link* is a URL that directs customers to your own branded checkout page from any channel your business uses.\
They are presented as clickable links, buttons, or [QR codes](https://docs.mollie.com/docs/qr-codes#/) to help your customers to pay quickly and effortlessly: simply create payment links directly from your Mollie Web app -> send a URL or [QR code](https://docs.mollie.com/docs/qr-codes#/) to your customer (or make it visible on your website) -> collect payments in just a few clicks.
