🧭 Step-by-Step: How to Create a One-Time Payment Link

1. Log in to your Modem Pay dashboard
   Head to modempay.com and log in to your merchant account.

2. Click on “Payment Links” in the sidebar
   This is where all your links will live.

3. Click “New Payment Link.”
   You’ll be prompted to choose a link type:

   • One-Time Payment

   • Donations

   • Subscription

For this guide, we’re selecting One-Time Payment.

4. Set the Title and Description
   This is what your customer sees. Make it clear and relevant.
   Example: “Pay for your school uniform”

5. Enter the amount (or leave it blank)

   • Enter a fixed amount if you're charging for a specific service.

   • Leave it blank to allow the customer to enter any amount they want (useful for donations or flexible pricing).
