# Delivery Payment Links

Delivery Payment Links are shareable URLs that allow a customer to initiate and pay for their own delivery — without requiring your system to create the delivery upfront. When a customer opens the link, they are presented with a Rendr-hosted experience where they can confirm their order details and complete the delivery booking themselves.

## Click and Deliver

The primary use case for Delivery Payment Links is Rendr's **Click and Deliver** product. This is designed for merchants who offer Click and Collect — where a customer places an order online for in-store pickup — but also want to give customers the option to convert that order into a home delivery at any point.

The link is generated by your system using the order details (reference, customer, address, items, parcels) and sent to the customer via SMS, email, or any channel of your choice. The customer clicks the link, reviews their delivery options, pays, and the delivery is booked automatically.

## How It Works

1. Your system calls the [Create Link](/api-reference/links/create-link) endpoint with the order details
2. Rendr returns a short URL — e.g. `https://rendr.link/oVI32gAE1mWaWeuQ0awJ`
3. You send the URL to the customer through your own communications
4. The customer opens the link, selects a delivery option, and completes payment
5. Rendr creates and books the delivery, triggering the standard delivery notifications and tracking

## Expiry

Links can be given an expiry time using the `expires_at` field. After this time the link will no longer be accessible. This is useful for time-sensitive offers or to align with your order cancellation window.

## Access

Click and Deliver must be enabled on your account before links can be created. Contact your Rendr implementation partner to provision access.
