Create & manage Pay Links
Select the Create payment button to create a Pay Link from scratch or choose one of the easy pre-defined templates optimised for specific workflows.
Dynamic Pricing
Choose “Dynamic pricing” if you want to use a single pay link and programmatically set its price via the "requestAmount"
field in the checkout widget configuration. This is useful for e-commerce and shopping experiences. You can find more information here.

- Step 3: Choose advanced options such as discounts, gated access, split payments & affiliate links.

- Step 4: Fully personalise your Pay Link by setting primary, neutral, and background colours, and choose between light or dark themes.
- Share your Pay Link anywhere or embed the link as a Checkout Widget in your website

Redirect URL on Success
Implement a redirect URL on a Pay Link to send a customer back to your app or URL after payment.

Manage your Payments from the dashboard or select Pay Links from the left hand nav. Edit, duplicate, disable (and re-enable) and share payments.

Managing Wallets
You can add a linked wallet - wallet connected directly to your Helio account - or an external wallet, which isn't directly connected to your Helio account (e.g. multi-sig wallet), by following the steps below:
Adding Wallets to Your Helio Account
- Go to Settings → Manage Wallets in the Helio Dashboard
- For linked wallets: go to the 'Linked' tab and click 'Link Wallet' to connect your wallet
- For external wallets: go to the 'External' tab and manually enter the wallet address
Choosing a Wallet for Payouts
When editing or creating a pay link:
- Navigate to the Pricing Options section, and in the wallet dropdown, select the wallet where you'd like to receive funds.
Enabling Multiple Chains
To enable multiple chains on a Helio Pay Link:
- Create or edit a pay link, go to Pricing Options, and under the Network section, select the chains you want to enable. We currently support Solana, Ethereum, Bitcoin, Base and Polygon.

Data can be exported easily via CSV (hit Download report in top right), automated into a Google Sheet or export your transactions via API.
In addition, your customers can access their receipts and manage subscriptions directly from the Buyer Dashboard.
