Sell with a payment link
No website needed: create a link in the portal for a fixed amount, share it, and get paid through the VEX Pay hosted checkout.
How it works
A payment link is a VEX Pay checkout page for one fixed amount in USD. Your customer opens it on their phone, sees your business name, the description and the amount in USD and VES at your Bolívar rate (BCV or market), and pays with the methods your account accepts. The money goes to your own balance, net of your fee — the same as any other payment.
- Create the link
In the portal, open Payment links. Enter the amount in USD and what it is for (your customer sees this). Optionally add a private reference and an expiry date.
- Share it
Copy link to paste it in WhatsApp or social media, Share to use your phone share sheet, or QR code to show or print a code your customer scans with their camera.
- Get paid
When your customer pays, the link turns Paid, the payment appears on the Payments page, and your
payment.*webhooks fire as usual.
Link statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Active | Waiting for payment. |
| Paid | Paid once. Each link accepts a single payment; anyone opening it afterwards sees that it was already paid. |
| Expired | Its expiry passed before anyone paid. It no longer accepts payments. |
| Cancelled | You cancelled it. It no longer accepts payments. A paid link cannot be cancelled. |
Your business profile
In the portal, Business profile sets how your business appears at the top of the payment page and on the receipt: your logo, business name, RIF, and an optional WhatsApp number and email. Buyers see them under Pagas a, followed by Estás pagando with the description and a breakdown of the amount, the rate (Tasa BCV or Tasa de mercado) and the total.
- Every field is optional. Without a profile the page shows your account name.
- Logos can be PNG, JPEG or WebP up to 2 MB; they are shown as a circle, so a square logo looks best.
- WhatsApp and email are public — buyers can tap them to contact you. Leave them empty if you prefer not to share them.
- Your test account uses the same profile as your live account, and you can set it up before going live.
Who can use payment links
Payment links are available to seller accounts. Marketplace accounts collect on behalf of their merchants and do not see this page. A live account can create links once it is activated (see Going live); in test mode, links are payable only with test methods and move no real money.
