Send payment links

Send a payment link directly to a customer’s phone via SMS or email. This is useful for phone orders, manual invoicing, remote sales, or any situation where the customer isn’t browsing your website. You create a checkout session with the customer’s phone number, and Dintero delivers the link automatically. The customer opens it, pays on the Dintero-hosted checkout page, and you receive the result through your normal callback flow.

Integration steps

Choose how to send links

There are three ways to send payment links:

Method	Best for
Payment Link in Backoffice	Manual one-off payments, no code required
Payment profile setting	Automatically send SMS for every session using a specific profile
API configuration	Full control, enable SMS per session in your code

For the no-code approach, go to Payment Link in Backoffice, choose Send by > SMS/Push, and enter the phone number. No API integration needed.

Enable SMS in your payment profile (optional)

If you want SMS delivery for all sessions using a specific profile, open Backoffice and enable SMS on the payment profile. Every session created with that profile_id will automatically send a link.

Create a session with SMS delivery

For API-driven delivery, create a checkout session and include the customer’s phone number and SMS configuration in the request body. Dintero sends the SMS as soon as the session is created.Include order.amount, order.currency, the customer’s phone number, and your callback/return URLs as with any session.See Payment link by SMS for the full configuration options.

SMS messages are not sent for test sessions (T prefix accounts). Use production credentials to verify SMS delivery.

Customer receives and pays

The customer receives an SMS or push notification with a link to the Dintero-hosted checkout page. They open it, select a payment method, and complete the payment. The experience is the same as any Dintero Checkout.

Handle the payment result

The result is delivered to your callback_url and through webhooks, just like any other checkout session. Capture, void, and refund through the Transactions API.
