Why You Need a Personal Payment Page

One Link, Every Client

Instead of generating a new payment link for every client, share one permanent URL. Clients choose how much to pay and which payment method to use.

More Methods Than PayPal.me

PayPal.me only accepts PayPal. Your payrequest.me page accepts 20+ methods: cards, iDEAL, SEPA, Bancontact, Klarna, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and more.

Professional Branding

Add your logo, name, and description. Your page looks polished — not like a generic invoice or bank transfer request.

Track Every Payment

See who paid, when, and how much. Automatic confirmation emails go to your clients. No spreadsheet needed.

5 Steps to Set Up Your payrequest.me Page

From zero to accepting payments in under 5 minutes.

1

Create Your Free Account

Go to payrequest.app/register and sign up with your email. No credit card required. Every feature is included on the free plan — you only pay 2% when you get paid (capped at €25 per transaction).

Use your business email for a professional look.
2

Choose Your Unique Handle

In your dashboard, go to Settings → Your Handle. Pick a username that matches your name or brand — for example, payrequest.me/jane or payrequest.me/janestudio. This becomes your permanent payment URL.

Shorter handles are easier to remember. Use your first name or brand name.
3

Create Your First Product or Payment Link

Add a payment link, product, or open-amount request to your page. You can add a fixed-price service (e.g., €150 consultation), a tip jar with open amount, or multiple products for clients to choose from.

Start with one open-amount payment link to test the flow end-to-end.
4

Enable Your Payment Methods

Connect Stripe, Mollie, or PayPal in your dashboard. This takes 2–5 minutes. Once connected, your page automatically supports all methods your provider enables: cards, iDEAL, Apple Pay, Google Pay, SEPA, Bancontact, Klarna, and more — depending on your region.

Dutch users: connect Mollie to enable iDEAL and Bancontact out of the box.
5

Share Your payrequest.me Link

Copy your payrequest.me/yourname URL and paste it wherever your clients find you — Instagram bio, email signature, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, or your website. Every click lands on your branded payment page.

Where to Share Your payrequest.me Link

Your link works anywhere you can paste text. Here are the highest-impact places.

Instagram Bio

The most-clicked link on any creator or freelancer profile. Replace your Linktree with a direct payment page.

"👇 Hire me / Pay here → payrequest.me/yourname"

Email Signature

Every email you send becomes a subtle invitation to pay. Clients who owe you money see the link without any awkward follow-up.

Add: "Pay online → payrequest.me/yourname" below your name.

WhatsApp & Telegram

After finishing a job, drop the link in the chat. Clients tap, choose their amount, and pay without leaving the app.

"Here's the link to pay: payrequest.me/yourname — let me know when done!"

LinkedIn Profile

Add your payment link to your LinkedIn 'Contact info' section or Featured section. Clients who want to book or pay can do so without an email chain.

Featured section: 'Book a consultation' → payrequest.me/yourname

Twitter / X Bio

Creators and consultants with engaged audiences can turn followers into customers directly from their bio.

Bio: "DM for projects | Pay → payrequest.me/yourname"

Your Website

Embed the link as a button on your contact or services page. No payment integration required — just a standard HTML link.

<a href="https://payrequest.me/yourname">Pay Now</a>

Frequently Asked Questions

Is payrequest.me free?

Yes. Creating your payrequest.me page is completely free. There are no monthly fees and no setup costs. PayRequest charges 2% per successful payment, capped at €25 per transaction. You only pay when you get paid.

Do my clients need an account to pay?

No. Your clients don't need to create a PayRequest account. They click your link, enter their payment details, and pay — just like any standard online checkout. There's zero friction for the person paying.

What's the difference between payrequest.me and PayPal.me?

Both give you a personal payment URL. The key difference is payment methods: PayPal.me only accepts PayPal, while payrequest.me accepts 20+ methods including cards, iDEAL, SEPA, Bancontact, Klarna, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. PayRequest also lets you add multiple products to your page and offers lower transaction fees (2% capped at €25 vs PayPal's 3.49% + fixed fee).

Can I use my own domain instead of payrequest.me?

Yes. PayRequest supports custom domains so your payment page can live at pay.yourbrand.com instead of payrequest.me/yourname. This is available on the free plan. You'll need to add a CNAME record in your DNS settings — the dashboard walks you through it.

How do I share my payrequest.me link on Instagram?

Go to Edit Profile → Website on Instagram and paste your payrequest.me/yourname URL. You can also mention it in your bio text (e.g., '👇 Pay here') and add it as a link sticker in Stories. Since Instagram only allows one clickable link in the bio, your payrequest.me page is often more effective than Linktree because it takes clients directly to payment.

What payment methods can I accept on my payrequest.me page?

The available payment methods depend on which payment provider you connect (Stripe, Mollie, or PayPal). Stripe enables cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and SEPA in most countries. Mollie adds iDEAL, Bancontact, Klarna, and Sofort for European sellers. You can connect multiple providers to maximise available methods.
