# PayLinks

> A shareable checkout URL tied to a product. No code required.

A PayLink is a hosted checkout page Suby generates for your product. Share the URL, the customer pays, and Suby handles everything else, tax calculation, payment processing, and access delivery.

## Limitations

<Note>
  PayLinks cannot be set to expire, and customer details cannot be pre-filled via the URL. For pre-filled sessions or dynamic parameters, use the [Checkout Sessions API](/v2/api-reference/introduction) instead.
</Note>

## Combining PayLinks with the API

PayLinks and the API are not mutually exclusive. A common pattern is to use PayLinks for quick sales or marketing campaigns while using the API for subscription management, access control, and backend sync.
