Viber Payment Link Guide
Create a payment link in seconds and drop it into any Viber chat, group or community. Customers tap the link, choose their preferred payment method, and you get paid — no Viber Pay account, no app switch, no friction.
What Is a Viber Payment Link?
A Viber payment link is simply a short, branded URL (e.g. payrequest.me/yourname) that opens a hosted checkout when tapped. You paste it into a Viber message, group chat or community description — and any recipient with internet access can pay, regardless of country, device or whether they have Viber Pay.
It's just a URL
Viber treats it like any other link. Send it in a 1-on-1 chat, broadcast list, or community. The link previews automatically with title, description and image.
Hosted checkout, not Viber Pay
PayRequest hosts the payment page on your branded subdomain. Customers don't need a Viber Pay wallet — they pay with card, iDEAL, SEPA, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay or any of 20+ methods.
Works in 190+ countries
Viber Pay is limited to 7 SEPA countries. Payment links work everywhere Viber works — and everywhere customers have a browser.
Trackable and reusable
One link can be paid by many customers. Add UTM parameters to track which payments came from Viber communities vs DMs vs your bio.
How to Create a Viber Payment Link in 4 Steps
From signup to first payment in under five minutes — no developer required.
Sign up for PayRequest
Create a free PayRequest account. No credit card needed, no app to install. You'll be ready to create links in under a minute.
Create your payment link
Set the amount (fixed or customer-chooses), add a product name, optional description and image. Pick which payment methods you want enabled — cards, iDEAL, SEPA, PayPal, Bancontact, Apple Pay, Google Pay and more.
Copy and share in Viber
Hit copy on your link (e.g. payrequest.me/sarah-design). Open Viber, paste it in any chat, group or community. The link will auto-preview with your branding.
Get paid — funds land in your bank
Customer taps the link, chooses how to pay, completes checkout in seconds. Funds settle into your connected Stripe, Mollie or PayPal account, then payout to your bank on the standard schedule.
Types of Viber Payment Links You Can Create
Pick the link type that matches what you're selling.
Fixed-amount link
One product, one price. The customer can't change the amount. Best for selling specific items, services with set rates, or single-tier digital products.
Example: €49 logo design package
Customer-chooses-amount link
The customer enters how much to pay. Perfect for tips, donations, or pay-what-you-want content shared in Viber communities.
Example: tip jar, donation link
Subscription link
Recurring billing on a schedule (weekly, monthly, yearly). Customer pays once and is automatically charged on the cadence you set.
Example: €15/month coaching membership
Multi-product / store link
Link opens a hosted product list. Customers pick what they want and check out. Useful for Viber communities offering multiple items.
Example: design template store
Quantity-based link
Customer chooses how many units to buy. Price scales automatically.
Example: €8 per workshop seat
Custom-fields link
Collect extra info during checkout (size, color, address, custom message). Great for personalized orders booked through Viber chats.
Example: t-shirt order with size & color
Why Use a Payment Link Inside Viber?
Reach Eastern European customers
Viber dominates messenger usage in Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, Ukraine and Belarus. If your customers prefer Viber over WhatsApp, meet them where they already are.
No Viber Pay required
Viber Pay only works in 7 SEPA countries. A PayRequest link works for any customer in any country — they just need a browser.
More payment methods than the wallet
Viber Pay supports SEPA wallet-to-wallet only. PayRequest links accept 20+ methods including iDEAL, Bancontact, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal and Klarna.
Communities are a sales channel
Pin a payment link to your Viber community description. Every new member sees it. Use UTM tags to measure which community drives the most revenue.
Payment Link vs Viber Pay: Which Should You Use?
Both let you collect money inside Viber. Here's how they compare for businesses.
Best Practices for Sharing Payment Links on Viber
Small tweaks that meaningfully lift conversion when sharing payment links in messengers.
Add context above the link
Don't just paste a bare URL. Include a one-line product description and price, then the link. Customers tap on links they understand.
Use a custom domain or branded slug
payrequest.me/yourname looks more trustworthy than a random short URL. Customers are more likely to tap a link that matches your business name.
Pin the link in Viber Communities
If you run a paid community or sell through one, pin your payment link to the community description so it's the first thing new members see.
Track with UTM parameters
Add ?utm_source=viber&utm_medium=community to differentiate Viber traffic from other channels in your reports.
Always include local payment methods
Enable iDEAL for Dutch customers, Bancontact for Belgian, SEPA for German, Klarna for Scandinavian. Local methods convert 2-3x better than card-only checkout.
Send a follow-up message after payment
Use PayRequest webhooks to auto-trigger a thank-you message in Viber once payment lands. Closes the loop and feels professional.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is creating a Viber payment link free?
Yes. PayRequest has no setup fee and no monthly fee on the free tier. You only pay the underlying payment provider's processing fee (e.g. Stripe ~1.5% for European cards). Subscriptions, automation and team features are available on the €20/month plan.
Do my customers need a Viber Pay account to pay?
No. A PayRequest payment link is a regular web URL. Customers tap it, the checkout opens in their browser, and they pay with card, iDEAL, SEPA, PayPal or whatever method you've enabled. They don't even need to use Viber — the same link works in email, SMS or any other channel.
What's the difference between a Viber payment link and Viber Pay?
Viber Pay is Viber's native wallet for SEPA-country users to send each other money inside the app. A payment link is a hosted checkout URL that works for any customer in any country, accepts 20+ payment methods, and supports subscriptions and one-off sales. For businesses, payment links cover far more use cases.
Can I send a Viber payment link from a Viber Business account?
Yes. Viber Business Messages support links the same way as personal chats. You can include payment links in template messages, automated responses or broadcast campaigns to your verified subscriber list.
Will customers see my link preview in Viber?
Yes. Viber automatically generates a link preview when you paste a URL, including the page title, description and image you set in PayRequest. To get the cleanest preview, set a clear product name and a 1200x630 image in your link settings.
Can I track which payments came from my Viber community?
Yes. Append UTM parameters to your payment link — e.g. payrequest.me/yourname?utm_source=viber&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=summer-sale. Every payment captures the UTM data, and you can filter your reports by source.
What payment methods can I offer with a Viber payment link?
Through Stripe: cards, iDEAL, SEPA Direct Debit, Bancontact, Sofort, Klarna, Apple Pay, Google Pay and more. Through Mollie: all of the above plus EPS, giropay and Belfius. Through PayPal: PayPal balance and PayPal-linked cards. You can enable multiple providers and let customers pick.
Can I use one Viber payment link for multiple customers?
Yes. A PayRequest payment link is reusable — share it once, get paid as many times as you want. This is ideal for community memberships, tip jars, or selling a fixed-price product to many buyers from the same chat.
