# Payment Links

> What are Payment Links and how can I use them?

***

No need to have a website to start selling online! Simply create a Fapshi payment link and send to your customers to instantly receive your payment. Fapshi currently allows you to create payment links and donation links. Each of these links have different use cases for which they are best suited. See the [How to know which link to choose](https://www.fapshi.com/en/products/payment-links) section below for details:

## Donation Link

This is best suited for donations, crowdfunding, group contributions, njangi's, and any form of payment that involves more than one person paying.

### How to Create a Donation Link

**Step 1:** Log into your dashboard and navigate to **Collections > Donations**.

**Step 2:** Click the "Create Donation link" button at the top right.

**Step 3:** Fill in the required details; you can select a fixed amount for the donation or select the "let the donor decide" option so the donor can decide what amount to donate. Even so, you can optionally set a minimum amount for the donation.

<Info>If you select the "Show donations" option, donors will be able to see those who have donated or contributed before them, the date/time, and the amounts paid.</Info>
