    • Amount — the exact amount to collect (or leave blank for the payer to enter)
    • Currency — defaults to your wallet currency
    • Description (optional) — additional details about the payment

Tips for Getting Paid Faster

  • Set clear due dates on invoices — customers are more likely to pay on time
  • Include a description in payment links so customers know what they're paying for
  • Enable auto-reminders for invoices to reduce follow-up work
  • Share QR codes for in-person payments — faster than typing a link
  • Use the open amount option for tips, donations, or flexible pricing
