Request

This endpoint expects an object.
payment_methodslist of enumsRequired
Payment methods to be displayed on the payment page. These payment methods must already be enabled for the entity. **Note:** Available payment methods vary per country, transaction type (B2B or B2C), and the payment link type (entity pays a bill or entity generates an invoice payment link for its counterpart). For more information, see [Payment methods](https://docs.monite.com/payments/payment-methods).
recipientobjectRequired

Specifies the invoice vendor - entity or counterpart. This is the payee, or the recipient of the payment.

amountintegerOptional>=1
The payment amount in [minor units](https://docs.monite.com/references/currencies#minor-units). The usage of the `amount` field depends on the type of the payment link you are creating: * If the `invoice` object is specified (that is, when creating a payment link for an external invoice), `amount` is required. * If `object` is specified: * If `object.type` is `payable`, `amount` must not be specified since it's taken from the payable. * If `object.type` is `receivable`, you can provide a custom `amount` value to create a partial payment link. In this case, the `amount` value must not exceed the invoice's `amount_to_pay` minus all active payment links.
currencyenumOptional

The payment currency. Mutually exclusive with object.

expires_atdatetimeOptional
Date and time (in the ISO 8601 format) when this payment link will expire. Can be up to 70 days from the current date and time. If omitted: * Payment links for payables and receivables expire 30 days after the invoice due date. * Payment links for external invoices expire 30 days after the link creation time. For more information, see [Payment link expiration](https://docs.monite.com/payments/payment-links#expiration).
invoiceobjectOptional

An object containing information about an external invoice to be paid. Mutually exclusive with object.

objectobjectOptional

If the invoice being paid is a payable or receivable stored in Monite, provide the object object containing the invoice type and ID. Otherwise, use the amount, currency, payment_reference, and (optionally) invoice fields to specify the invoice-related data.

payment_referencestringOptional

A payment reference number that the recipient can use to identify the payer or purpose of the transaction. Mutually exclusive with object.

return_urlstringOptionalformat: "uri">=1 character<=2083 characters
