Step 1: Create a Payment Link 

‍

Here’s a simple guide to creating a payment link using Charge’s platform:

‍‍

‍

‍‍

2. Set Payment Options: Define the price in USDC and set the quantity, enabling a maximum limit if needed. Choose supported networks for payment. 

‍

‍‍

3. Design: Customize the link's appearance by selecting colors, fonts, and button styles.

‍

‍

4. Create Payment Link: Preview the design and finalize the link for sharing.

‍

‍

‍5. Send Payment Link: Copy and send the payment link to its intended recipient once created. 

‍

‍

‍

‍

6.  Receive Payment: As Charge is in beta, payees can pay with USDC and USDT stablecoins on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism, BNB Chain, and Base. 

‍

‍

After receiving a payment link, users connect to an existing blockchain wallet, such as Metamask or Phantom, and process the transaction. On the Charge side, funds are bridged through the Fuse Network Bridge, a secure and efficient way to transfer assets between different blockchains and arrive in your Charge wallet, where they can be stored or assigned to another wallet or cryptocurrency exchange to be traded for fiat currency.
