Using Online Pay Links
Create, share, and manage Online Pay Links (a free feature with GoDaddy Payments) through your Payments Hub. With Online Pay Links, you can generate links to share via social media, email or text, and have your customers pay easily online.
Most GoDaddy accounts come with GoDaddy Payments enabled, so you can quickly begin accepting payments through Online Pay Links. To have your funds directly deposited into your bank account, simply complete the one-time setup process and link the bank account where you’d like your funds.
Generate and share a customized Online Pay Link to accept payment for anything you like. The link creates a webform that customers can use to make payments easily. You can also create Online Pay Links from within your Websites + Marketing website by editing the action button.
