<Ingress title="Pay Link Overview">
  The Pay Link offers a ready-to-pay Checkout session to be presented in a fully hosted environment. The page includes the cart with a summary, and the regular Checkout iframe in one single, responsive page.
  This allows you to prepare a Checkout session in advance and redirect the users browser to the Pay Link so the customer can complete their purchase there.
</Ingress>

It's also possible to use our distribution API to push the Pay Link to a users mobile phone by SMS.
