How it works​

Creating Hosted Checkout Pages via Revolut Business is a no-code solution that works with these components:

  1. Revolut Business: A graphic user interface (GUI) where you create and manage payment links
  2. Hosted Checkout Page: Revolut's secure payment page where customers complete their payment
  3. Dashboard tracking: View payment status and history in real-time
Understanding the terminology

Hosted Checkout Page refers to the complete checkout solution—the branded, secure payment page hosted by Revolut where your customers complete their purchases.

Payment links are the URLs you create that direct customers to your Hosted Checkout Page. Each link is a unique URL tied to a specific payment request (amount, description, etc.). You create and manage these links through the dashboard.

The payment flow is simple and straightforward:

  1. Log in to your Revolut Business dashboard.
  2. Navigate to Merchant > Payment links.
  3. Create a new payment link with amount and required details.
  4. Share the generated link with your customer (email, SMS, etc.).
  5. Track payment completion in your dashboard.
Info

Payment links created via the dashboard redirect customers to Revolut's default confirmation pages after payment completion.

If you need to redirect customers to your own branded confirmation pages or implement custom post-payment workflows, you'll need to use the API integration method with the redirect_url parameter. This feature is only available via API and cannot be configured through the dashboard.

Implementation overview​

This guide walks you through everything you need to accept payments via Hosted Checkout Pages:

  1. Create payment links: Set up payment links with custom amounts, advanced options, and share them with customers.
  2. Configure global settings: Set default expiry dates, customise checkout branding, and manage notifications.
  3. Manage your payment links: View, track, and control all your payment links from the dashboard.

Before you begin​

Before you start this tutorial, ensure that you have completed the following step:

Info

You don't need to generate API keys for this method, as everything is done through the dashboard interface.

Hosted Checkout Page - Create payment link

To create a payment link:

  1. Log in to Revolut Business.

  2. Navigate to Merchant > Payment link.

  3. Click the Create link button.

  4. Configure your payment details on the New payment link screen:

    • Title (required): The title appears in the transaction description and helps you identify the payment in your dashboard.
    • Amount: Select currency and enter the payment amount to create a payment link with fixed pricing.
    • Customer sets price: Enable this toggle to let customers choose how much to pay (ideal for donations, tips, or pay-what-you-want scenarios)
      • When enabled, customers see an extra step at checkout where they can enter the amount and add an optional note
      • After entering details, they click Continue to checkout to proceed to the payment page

  5. Optionally, configure Advanced options:

    • Accept multiple payments: By default, payment links accept 1 payment then automatically switch from Active to Completed state. Enable this toggle to accept multiple payments from the same link.
      • Payment limit: Specify the number of payments this link can accept (useful for fixed instalments, e.g., weekly payments). Without a limit, you can accept payments indefinitely until you manually deactivate the payment link.
    • Expiry date: Enable to set a specific date when the link stops working. This overrides the default expiry date. Useful for time-limited offers or seasonal promotions.
    • Custom field: Collect additional information from customers during checkout. Appears as a separate page before the payment page. Shows in your transaction overview with your chosen field name and the value entered by the customer.

  6. Check the Desktop and Mobile previews to see how your payment page appear to customers and verify everything looks as expected.

  7. Click Create to generate your payment link.

  8. A pop-up appears with sharing options. Choose your preferred method to share the link:

    • Copy link: Copy the URL and paste it anywhere (SMS, messaging apps, social media, etc.).
    • Send via email: Send the link directly from the dashboard to your customer's email.
    • QR code: Display a QR code for in-person scanning or print marketing materials.

  9. Complete the process:

    • Click New payment link to create another payment link immediately, or
    • Click Done to return to the Payment links page, where you can see your newly created link.
