API Reference

Payment Link

Payment Link allows you to collect secure, escrow-backed payments through a shareable URL, no code or integration required.

💸 Payment Link

The Payment Link resource makes it effortless to collect payments securely using Pandascrow’s escrow infrastructure, with or without a website.

Payment Links create a preconfigured, shareable URL that anyone can use to send funds into an escrow account. This is perfect for freelancers, consultants, agencies, or platforms that need a quick way to request payment without needing to build complex integrations.


🔗 How It Works

  1. You create a Payment Link with details like title, amount, payer/sender name, and what it’s for.
  2. We generate a unique link (e.g.,https://pandascrow.io/pay/abc123)
  3. Share the link via email, chat, social media, or your website.
  4. When someone pays, the funds are held securely in escrow until release conditions are met.

💼 Use Cases

  • Freelancers requesting a 50% upfront deposit
  • Consultants or agencies sending payment links after a call
  • Social sellers collect funds before delivery
  • Small platforms integrating trust payments without an API

✨ Features

  • One-time or reusable: Choose whether a link can be used once or multiple times.
  • Custom branding: Add your name, email, or logo to match your professional brand.
  • Escrow-backed: Funds are not released until conditions are met, reducing fraud.
  • Email notifications: Both sender and receiver get real-time updates.
  • Callback URLs: Optional webhook for instant integration with your app.
