Payment Link API Flow

ℹ️

See API Reference

The Payment Link API is a REST API that allows you to create, edit and query payment links. The main advantage of the API is that it allows stores to create payment links (by buttons or QR Codes) through their own systems and share the Payment Link with their customers, without the need to access the Cielo website.

The following image represents the general flow of how the Payment Link API works:

1. The merchant sends a payment link creation request to the Link de Pagamento API;
2. Link de Pagamento API returns a payment link URL and a link ID;
3. The merchant shares the payment link with the shopper;
4. The shopper makes the payment;
5. Cielo (as the acquirer) authorizes the payment and sends confirmation to Link de Pagamento;
6. The Link de Pagamento API sends a transaction completion notification or status change notification to the store. If desired, the merchant can develop a process for sending a confirmation email to the shopper (not available through the Link de Pagamento API).
