PlanetStudio Payment Gateway
PayLink & QR
PayLink allows you to create payment links and QR codes without using WooCommerce or any other e-commerce plugin.
It is built directly into PlanetStudio Payment Gateway Core and works immediately after activating the plugin.
PayLink is designed for:
- accepting payments without a store
- sending payment links to customers
- generating QR codes for invoices
- quick payments for services or donations
How PayLink Works
PayLink creates a hosted payment page inside your website.
Customer flow:
- Customer opens a payment link or scans a QR code
- The payment page shows payment information
- Customer selects a bank
- Customer is redirected to the bank payment page
- After payment the customer returns to the result page
- Payment status is automatically synchronized with the bank
All payments are recorded in PSPG Orders.
Creating a PayLink
- Go to:
WordPress Admin → PSPG → PayLink
- Click Create PayLink
- Configure the link:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | Payment title shown on the page |
| Amount | Payment amount |
| Currency | AMD / USD / EUR / RUB |
| Description | Optional description |
| Banks | Select available banks |
| Mode | Single or Unlimited |
- Save the PayLink.
You will receive:
- Payment URL
- QR code
- Shareable payment link
PayLink Modes
Single payment
The link is used only once.
After a successful payment:
- the link becomes inactive
- no further payments are allowed
Best for:
- invoices
- one-time payments
- individual orders
Unlimited payments
The link can be used multiple times.
Every time the link is opened:
- a new PSPG order is created
- payments are tracked individually
Best for:
- donations
- service payments
- recurring public payments
QR Codes
Each PayLink automatically generates a QR code.
Customers can:
- scan the QR code
- open the payment page
- complete payment on mobile
QR codes are useful for:
- invoices
- printed materials
- POS payments
- service counters
Payment Status Tracking
All payments are tracked in:
WordPress Admin → PSPG → Orders
You can see:
- order number
- payment status
- bank
- amount
- currency
- payment logs
Statuses:
| Status | Meaning |
