FAQ

Is a payment link a separate halfin product?

No. A payment link is just an invoice's hosted checkout URL on checkout.thehalfin.com. You create an invoice with POST /api/v1/invoices, read the hosted checkout URL out of the response, and share that URL by email, chat, a button's href, or a QR code. There is no distinct 'link' object to manage — the invoice you already understand is the link.
