What a payment request means (for Indie Hackers)

A payment request is a simple link you send after delivery so the client can pay immediately—without attaching PDFs, chasing signatures, or waiting for an accounting workflow.

The typical payment delay loop

• Deliver work
• Send invoice
• Wait
• Follow up

A faster workflow with a payment request link

1. Deliver the milestone
2. Send one clear payment request link
3. Client forwards it internally if needed
4. Payment happens faster because the action is obvious

Example use cases for Indie Hackers

• MVP build for a client
• Setup fee for onboarding
• One-off feature build
• Support + maintenance add-on

Why payment requests work better than invoices

• A link is easier to approve and pay
• Less friction for small and medium deliverables
• Works well with international clients
