# Payment Sessions

> Learn how collect payments from customers with shareable links.

You can accept payments quickly without having to create subscriptions or invoices with Payment Sessions. Share the link with your customer in emails, messages, or automatically.

Payment Sessions support all available [payment methods](/payments/payment-methods) and can be configured with
[Transfers](/owners/fund-flows).

## Create a payment session

To create a new payment session, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the customer you want to create a payment session for.
2. Click on the **Actions** menu and select **Create payment session**
3. Select the reporting type you’d like to use for the payment.
4. Enter the **Amount**, **Currency** and **Description**.
5. You can configure the payment methods you’d like to allow the customer to use.
6. Click **Create payment**.

We also support some advance options when creating a payment session:

### Advanced options

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Send email to customer">
    Choose whether to send an email to the customer with a link to the payment session.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Apply to customer balance">
    Optionally, you can configure whether the funds should be added to the customer’s balance after the payment succeeds, to be used to offset future invoices. Learn more about the [customer balance]().
  </Accordion>

## Share a payment session

After you create a payment session a Transaction record will be created to manage the payment status. While the payment session is unpaid you can navigate to the transaction and retrieve the link to share with your customer.
