# Payment link by SMS or push

> Send a Dintero Checkout payment link by SMS or push notification using payment profile settings, payment-link configuration, or the Checkout API.

In some cases you might want to send an SMS to the customer with a link to the checkout when the
session is created.

There are several ways to send SMS-messages when creating a payment session:

* Enable SMS in Payment link in Backoffice
* Enable SMS in payment profile via Backoffice
* Enable via the API

<Note>
  SMS messages are not sent for test sessions.
</Note>

## Enable SMS in Payment link in Backoffice

To send an SMS when using the Payment link in Backoffice, choose **Send by** → **SMS/Push** and specify the phone
number.

## Enable SMS in payment profile via Backoffice

If you're using payment profiles, SMS is quite easy to turn on. Simply open Backoffice and go
to **Settings** → **Payment profiles**.

Choose your payment profile from the list (or create a new one), click edit and tick the box that says **"Send payment
link via SMS
to customers"**. Save the payment profile.

Now, when creating a session with this payment profile, your customer will receive an SMS.

## Enable SMS via the API

When using the API, you can enable SMS either through payment profiles or directly when creating the session.

* [Creating payment profile](https://docs.dintero.com/checkout-api.html#operation/admin_session_profile_post)
* [Editing payment profile](https://docs.dintero.com/checkout-api.html#operation/admin_session_profile_details_put)
* [Creating a session](https://docs.dintero.com/checkout-api.html#operation/checkout_session_post)

<Info>
  To create payments with a payment profile,
  use [Create checkout session from profile](https://docs.dintero.com/payments-api.html#operation/checkout_session_profile_post)
  .
</Info>

For each of these cases, extend the request body with the following fields:

```json theme={null}
{
  "configuration": {
    "publish": [
      {
        "type": "checkout-link",
        "channel": "sms"
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

## Direct push messages instead of SMS

For the following payment types, we support direct push messages:

* Vipps
* Swish
* MobilePay

To send push payments instead of SMS-messages for one of these payment types, these conditions must be met:

* The session should only contain that single payment type
* Publish is configured as the example above.
