Solana payment link: get paid in under a second
Create a payment link that any Phantom, Backpack or Solflare user can pay in one tap. USDC settles on Solana in under a second at ~$0.00025 gas. No smart contracts, no code, no address copy-paste.
The fastest blockchain for business payments
Sub-second confirmation
Solana processes ~65,000 transactions per second. Your USDC payment confirms in 400ms–1 second — faster than tap-to-pay at a coffee shop, dramatically faster than any bank transfer.
~$0.00025 gas — effectively free
Solana gas costs are negligible. The customer pays from a tiny SOL balance in their wallet. Under $1 of SOL covers hundreds of transactions. You receive the full USDC amount you charged.
USDC — no volatility, global reach
USDC on Solana is dollar-pegged and issued by Circle. Invoice €500, receive €500 equivalent in USDC. No price swings, no FX risk, no exchange rate guessing between invoice and payment.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Solana payment link?
A Solana payment link is a shareable URL that opens a checkout page where the customer connects their Solana wallet (Phantom, Backpack, Solflare) and sends USDC directly to your wallet address on the Solana blockchain. PayRequest generates the link, handles wallet detection and transaction confirmation automatically.
Which Solana wallets can pay a PayRequest link?
Any wallet implementing the Solana Wallet Standard: Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, Trust Wallet (Solana support), and any WalletConnect-compatible Solana wallet. PayRequest detects the customer's wallet automatically — no per-wallet configuration needed on your end.
Why is Solana faster than Ethereum for payments?
Solana processes ~65,000 transactions per second using a Proof-of-History consensus mechanism. Transactions confirm in 400ms–1 second. Ethereum L1 confirms in 15–30 seconds at much higher gas costs. For payment links, this means a Phantom user completes their payment before a MetaMask user on Ethereum L1 has even seen the confirmation screen.
What does gas cost on Solana?
Approximately $0.00025 per transaction — effectively free. The customer pays this from a tiny SOL balance in their wallet. Remind clients who pay via Solana to hold a small amount of SOL for gas (less than $1 worth covers hundreds of transactions).
What does PayRequest charge for Solana payments?
2% per successful payment, capped at €25 per transaction. Customer pays Solana gas (~$0.00025) on top. No monthly fee, no setup cost. On a €500 invoice: PayRequest fee = €10. On a €2,000 invoice: fee = €25 (capped).
Can I accept SOL (native token) instead of USDC?
PayRequest currently focuses on USDC — the dollar-pegged stablecoin — for invoice payments. SOL itself is a volatile asset, so invoicing in SOL introduces price risk between when you send the link and when the client pays. USDC gives you predictable USD-value settlement. If a client specifically wants to pay in SOL, they can swap to USDC in their Phantom wallet in one tap before paying.
Do I need a Solana wallet to receive payments?
Yes — connect your Solana wallet address in PayRequest Provider Settings (Settings → Provider Settings → Solana). Phantom, Solflare, or any Solana wallet works. This takes about 60 seconds. Once connected, your payment links automatically offer Solana USDC as a payment option.
How does Solana compare to Base for payment links?
Both are fast and cheap — Solana (<1s, ~$0.00025 gas) is slightly faster and cheaper than Base (~2s, ~$0.01 gas). The main difference is wallet audience: Phantom/Backpack users expect Solana; Coinbase Wallet/MetaMask users expect Base. PayRequest supports both on the same payment link — customer picks their chain at checkout.
