# P-Link User Flow

## P-Link User Flow

> Create a link → Share → Pay → Receive/Claim

***

### 1. Create a payment link

* **From the link wizard:**\
  <https://p-link.io/create>
* **Manual URL:**

  ```
  https://p-link.io/[email]/[amount][currency]
  ```
* **Example:**

  ```
  https://p-link.io/jane@example.com/10EUR
  ```

***

### 2. Share the link

* Social networks (Discord, X/Twitter, Instagram, Telegram, Facebook)
* Direct messages, email, or SMS
* QR code (on a website, poster, or POS)
* Rich preview with title, image, and description (Open Graph/Twitter cards)

***

### 3. Payment by the customer

* **Via crypto wallet:** Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, or any Solana Pay compatible app
* **Via credit card:** automatic conversion to USDC
* Instant confirmation and low network fees (Solana)
* **Tip:** Use fixed-amount links to avoid errors

***

### 4. Receive / Claim

* Payment is **credited automatically** to the recipient's account
* If no account exists: the recipient can create/claim their account via a secure link
* Unclaimed funds are **returned to the sender** after 3 days (configurable)

**Best practices:**

* Verify the recipient's address before sending
* Do not expose your API key
* Secure your private key exports
