Payment Request for Open Source Maintainers: Get Paid With a Simple Link

What a payment request means (for Open Source Maintainers)

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
  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 Open Source Maintainers

  • Sponsorship / recurring support
  • Paid support contract
  • Security fix / patch bounty
