Payment Link types

Rebill offers three types of Payment Links. Each one solves a different use case depending on how you want to collect payments.

Product Link

Reusable link with a fixed price. For products customers buy once.

What it's for: Selling physical or digital products where you want to use the same link multiple times. The link stays active and can be shared with different customers.

Common use cases:

• E-commerce products (physical goods, apparel, electronics)

• Digital products (courses, ebooks, templates)

• Event tickets

• Bootcamps or training programs

• Consulting packages with a fixed price

How it works:

• You create the link once with a fixed price

• Share it with as many customers as you want

• Each customer pays through the same link

• The link never expires unless you set an expiration date

Example: You sell access to a digital marketing course for $299 USD. You create one Product Link and share it on your website, social media, and email campaigns. Every customer who buys uses the same link.

Plan Link

Recurring subscription billing. For memberships and ongoing services.

What it's for: Charging customers on a recurring basis (monthly, quarterly, yearly). The customer subscribes once and gets charged automatically on each billing cycle.

Common use cases:

• Monthly or yearly subscriptions (SaaS, memberships, content platforms)

• Financing through installments — Some merchants use Plan Links as an alternative to credit card installments. The customer "subscribes" to pay a product in monthly installments instead of paying upfront.

How it works:

• You create a plan with a billing frequency (monthly, quarterly, yearly)

• Customer subscribes through the link

• Rebill charges them automatically on each billing cycle

• Subscription continues until the customer cancels or you cancel it

Example 1 — Subscription: You offer a premium membership for $50 USD/month. Customers subscribe once and get charged $50 every month automatically.

Example 2 — Financing: A product costs 1,200,000 ARS. Instead of charging it all at once, you create a 6-month plan where the customer pays 200,000 ARS/month. After 6 months, the subscription ends and they've paid the full amount.

Instant Link

One-time payment that disables after being paid. For unique invoices or custom charges.

What it's for: Collecting a specific payment from a specific customer. Once the payment is completed, the link stops working.

Key benefit: You don't need to create a product or plan first. Just set the amount and send the link.

Common use cases:

• Invoices for services already delivered (consulting, freelance work, agency retainers)

• Custom quotes or proposals

• One-off charges where you don't want the link reused

How it works:

• You create the link with the specific amount to charge

• Send it to the customer

• Customer pays once

• The link disables automatically after the payment is completed

Example: You delivered a consulting project and need to invoice the client for $5,000 USD. You create an Instant Link for that exact amount and send it to the client. Once they pay, the link stops working.

Which type should you use?

Can you change the link type after creating it?

No. Once you create a link, the type is locked. If you need a different type, create a new link.
