The short answer
A crypto payment link is a simple shareable page that shows your wallet address, a scannable QR code, and the amount due — so anyone can pay you in Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, or over Lightning without an exchange, an invoice service, or a middleman. The safe kind is non-custodial: the money goes straight from their wallet to yours, and no platform ever holds it.

What's actually on the page
- Your wallet address — displayed clearly with a one-tap copy button.
- A QR code — so the payer scans it straight into their wallet app instead of pasting a long string.
- The amount + live fiat equivalent — set "$50" and the page shows the current crypto amount, so there's no guesswork.
- A label — invoice, tip jar, gig deposit, merch, donation — whatever the payment is for.
Share the link (or its QR) in a DM, an email, a post, or printed on a poster, and you're accepting crypto.
Why "non-custodial" is the part that matters
Custodial processors take your money first, then pay it out later (and usually take a cut, and require KYC/an account). A non-custodial link does none of that — it only displays your own public address, so the payment goes wallet-to-wallet. That means:
- You keep 100% — no platform fee, only the blockchain's own network fee (usually paid by the sender).
- No account, no KYC to display a link — it's your address, not a money-transmission service.
- Full control — funds land in your wallet directly; no one can freeze or hold them.
Stay safe: two rules
Crypto is powerful but unforgiving, so build the habit:
- Triple-check the address. Paste it, don't type it, and confirm the first and last characters. A wrong address means the funds are gone — there's no bank to call.
- Payments are irreversible. There are no chargebacks. Only accept crypto from people you'd trust with cash, and treat a payment as final once it confirms.
(Our payment page shows a clear "verify the recipient — payments are irreversible" notice for exactly this reason.)
How to create your crypto payment link
- Open the crypto payment link generator.
- Add the wallet(s) you control — Bitcoin, Ethereum/USDT, Lightning, TRON-USDT, whatever you accept.
- Optionally set an amount (it shows the live fiat equivalent) and a label.
- Generate the page — you get a shareable link plus a QR for each wallet.
- Share the link, or download the QR to put on a poster, invoice, or merch table.
Good uses for a crypto payment link
- Freelancers & creators — send an invoice without processor fees eating 3%.
- Musicians & artists — a tip jar on your link-in-bio or under a release.
- Small sellers — a QR at the merch table or on a flyer (pair it with our free QR Studio for a styled, permanent code).
- Donations — a clean, trustworthy page instead of pasting a raw address.
The whole point: accepting crypto shouldn't require handing your money (or your identity) to a middleman. A non-custodial link keeps it simple, free, and yours.
