Invoice with a payment link
Add a clickable payment link to your invoice so clients can pay the moment they open it. Paste your Stripe, PayPal or Wise link, optionally add a QR code, and download a free PDF — no signup, no watermark, and your data stays in your browser.
Make an invoice with a payment linkAn invoice that makes it easy to pay gets paid faster. Instead of asking a client to copy your bank details and set up a transfer, you put a single "Pay online" link on the invoice — they click it, land on your payment page, and the job is done. This tool adds that link (and an optional QR code) to a clean PDF in about a minute, with no account to create.
How to add a payment link to your invoice
1. Create a payment link in your provider
In Stripe, make a reusable Payment Link; in PayPal, use your PayPal.me URL; in Wise or Square, copy the payment page link. You only need to do this once — the same link can go on every invoice, or you can set a specific amount per link if your provider supports it. The money is collected in your own account; this tool never sees it.
2. Fill in the invoice and paste the link
Add your business and client details, line items, tax and any discount — the totals are calculated for you. In the Payment link field, paste your https payment URL. The tool checks it is a valid https link so a typo never reaches your client.
3. Turn on the QR code (optional)
Enable the QR option and a scannable code for the same payment link is added to the invoice. It is ideal for printed invoices or when the client is reading on a different screen — they point a phone camera at it and the payment page opens.
4. Download the PDF
Download the invoice as a PDF. The payment link is embedded as a real, clickable link annotation — your client opens the file and taps Pay online to go straight to checkout. No watermark, no branding but your own.
Clickable link and QR code, on one invoice
The link is not printed text that a client has to retype — it is a genuine PDF link, so a tap or click opens your payment page. The optional QR code points to the same destination, which covers the cases a link cannot: a printed invoice on a desk, or a PDF opened on a laptop while the client pays from their phone. Between the two, however your invoice is read, paying is one action away.
Which payment links work
| Provider | What to paste |
|---|---|
| Stripe | A reusable Payment Link (buy.stripe.com/…) |
| PayPal | Your PayPal.me link, optionally with an amount |
| Wise | A Wise payment request / payment page URL |
| Square, Revolut, GoCardless, others | Any shareable https payment page URL |
Why a payment link gets you paid sooner
Every extra step between "invoice received" and "payment sent" is a chance for an invoice to be set aside and forgotten. A clickable link removes the friction: there are no account numbers to copy, no sort codes to mistype and no separate app to open. For freelancers and small businesses, that often means the difference between getting paid the day the invoice lands and chasing it a week later. Add your logo and accent colour, switch the same details into a receipt once it is paid, and the whole cycle stays in one free, browser-based tool.
Frequently asked questions
Does this create the Stripe or PayPal payment link for me?
No — you bring your own payment link, and this tool puts it on the invoice. Create a reusable link once in your payment provider (a Stripe Payment Link, a PayPal.me URL, a Wise or Square payment page), then paste that URL into the Payment link field here. When you download the PDF, the link becomes a clickable "Pay online" button on the invoice, with an optional QR code. Keeping link creation in your own account means the money goes straight to you and we never touch your payment credentials.
Is the payment link actually clickable in the downloaded PDF?
Yes. The link is embedded as a real PDF link annotation, so when your client opens the invoice they can click "Pay online" and go straight to your payment page. It is not just printed text. If they have a paper copy or prefer their phone, switch on the QR code and they can scan it to open the same payment page.
Which payment providers work?
Any provider that gives you a shareable https payment URL. That covers Stripe Payment Links, PayPal.me, Wise, Square, Revolut, GoCardless and most "request a payment" pages. The field accepts any valid https link, so if your processor can hand you a URL, it will work here. The tool checks that the link starts with https:// so a broken address does not slip onto a sent invoice.
Can I add a QR code to the invoice as well as the link?
Yes. Turn on the QR option and the tool generates a QR code of your payment link and places it on the invoice. It is the same destination as the clickable link, which is handy when the invoice is printed or viewed on a different device — the client scans with their phone camera and lands on your payment page.
Is it free, and where does my data go?
It is free with no signup and no watermark, and your invoice data — including the payment link — stays in your browser. The PDF, the clickable link annotation and the QR code are all generated on your device, so the numbers and client details are never uploaded to build the document. You download a finished PDF and send it yourself.
