Create a One-Time Payment Link

A one-time link requests a specific amount from a specific person — useful for invoices, one-off sales, or asking a particular person to pay you back. The person you send it to doesn’t need an Enta account to pay.
Starting a new payment link opens “Create payment link”“Set up a link to request or collect a payment” — with a stepper across the top: Link type, Payment details, Review. The first question is “What type of link do you need?”, with a banner reminding you: “Anyone can pay. No Shiga account needed.” Choose link type You’re offered two cards: One-time link“Request a specific amount from someone” — and Reusable link“Accept payments from anyone, for any amount”. Pick One-time link. With One-time link selected, two fields appear: Link title (placeholder “e.g., Design work payment”) and Who is this payment for? (optional). Fill in a title — for example “Inv24902 Payment” — and, if you like, the recipient’s name, e.g. “Timothy Adigun”. Tap Continue. Name the link

3. Set the amount and how you want to be notified

The “One-time link payment details” screen — “Set the amount you want to receive and how you’d like to be paid” — starts with an Amount field (currency prefix, e.g. , with a currency dropdown offering USDT, BTC, Naira, Euro, Pound) and an optional Description (placeholder “What is this payment for?”). Below that, a Notify the recipient (optional) section — “We’ll send them the link with payment instructions” — lets you toggle on Email, Telegram, and WhatsApp and fill in the corresponding email address, Telegram number, or WhatsApp number so Enta sends the link for you.

4. Choose where the money settles

The same screen’s Settle into section offers three cards: Shiga Wallet (“Receive as crypto”), External Wallet (“Your own address”), and Bank Account (“Auto-convert to fiat”). Which one you pick changes what shows up next. Choose settlement method Shiga Wallet — picking this reveals a Receive payment as dropdown where you choose the asset you want to be paid in, e.g. USDT on Optimism. Settle into Shiga Wallet External Wallet — picking this reveals a Wallet address field (with a Paste button), plus Asset and Network dropdowns — for example an address like 0x94b008aa00579c1307b0ef2c499ad98a8ce58e58, asset USDT, network Optimism. Settle into external wallet Bank Account — picking this reveals a Receive payment into panel with two buttons: New Bank Account and Beneficiary. Settle into bank account Tapping New Bank Account opens an Add Bank Account modal scoped to your chosen currency — for Euro this asks for Currency, Account name, Country, Bank name, and International Bank Account Number (IBAN) (e.g. Maria Tunji, Portugal, Banco Comercial Português (BCP)); for Pound it asks for Account number and Sort code instead of an IBAN (e.g. James Wilson, United Kingdom, Barclays Bank). Tap Add Account to save it, or Cancel to back out. Add a new bank account Tapping Beneficiary instead opens a Beneficiaries drawer with NGN / EUR / GBP tabs listing your saved bank accounts by name, currency, account number, and bank — pick one instead of adding a new one. Choose a saved beneficiary Once a bank account is chosen (new or saved), it appears as a summary card — e.g. “Maria Tunji, Euro” / masked IBAN / “Banco Comercial Português (BCP)” — with a Remove option. Tap Continue. Bank account selected The Review screen summarizes everything: Amount (e.g. ₦200,000), your title and reference (e.g. “iPhone 14 payment” / “#Inv24902”), Type (“One-time link”“Expires after payment is received”), Settle payment into (a badge showing your chosen destination — Shiga Wallet, an external address, or a bank account), and Recipient details (name, email, Telegram, WhatsApp, if you filled them in). Tap Back to change anything, or Create Payment Link to finish. Review before creating Once created, “Payment link created” shows your shareable Payment link (e.g. shiga.com/pay/394949t90) with a copy icon, plus a summary of the Amount, Settle payment into destination, and Recipient. Tap Go to Payment Link to view it. Payment link created
