# Share a payment link

Share payment links across social media, emails, or your website.

After you create a [payment link](https://docs.stripe.com/payment-links.md), share it with your customers to accept payments without a digital storefront.

## Share your link 

Use the Dashboard to copy your payment link, and share it online. Click the copy icon next to an existing link on the [Payment Links](https://dashboard.stripe.com/payment-links) page, or go to the payment link’s details page. You can share your payment link multiple times and anywhere online, including:

- Emails
- Text messages
- Social media platforms

## Generate a QR code 

You can create a QR code for a payment link in the Dashboard. Choose an existing link from the **Payment Links** page, or [create a new link](https://dashboard.stripe.com/payment-links/create) and then click **QR code**. Copy or download a PNG image of the QR code.

The QR code doesn’t expire. If you deactivate the underlying payment link, the QR code redirects to an expiration page.

## Embed a button on your site 

Turn your payment link into an embeddable buy button to sell a product or subscription from your website. Select an existing link from the **Payment Links** page or create a new link and then click **Buy button**. Copy the code and paste it into your website. To learn more on how to embed and customize a button, see [Create a buy button](https://docs.stripe.com/payment-links/buy-button.md).

## Deactivate a link

You can use the Dashboard to deactivate a payment link. Click the overflow menu (⋯) to the right of the desired payment link, and then **Deactivate**. After you deactivate a link, customers are no longer able to make a purchase using it. You can choose to reactivate the payment link at any time. You can also use the [API](https://docs.stripe.com/payment-links/api.md#deactivate-link) to deactivate a payment link.
