Cashfree Payment Links vs DePay Payment Links

Cashfree Payment Links lets businesses collect payments through a branded checkout without a website or coding. Merchants can share links through WhatsApp, SMS, email, QR codes, social channels, and invoices. WhatsApp-native links display a branded widget inside the chat instead of sending customers to a browser. Customers can pay with UPI, cards, net banking, wallets, and more than 180 payment methods. Merchants can permit partial payments, set an expiry date, or leave links active until deactivation. CSV or Excel uploads can create hundreds of links at once, while APIs can create, manage, and track them; dashboard creation is also available. Eligible businesses may receive settlements starting from 15 minutes. The free plan lists free for link creation and reminders, while standard Payment Gateway charges apply. Cashfree lists Shopify, Wix, WooCommerce, PayPal, WordPress, and Zoho integrations.

DePay Payment Links lets sellers create and share crypto payment links without code. Payments go directly to the seller’s wallet in a peer-to-peer, non-custodial flow. Sellers can price a link in fiat or cryptocurrency, with a conversion rate calculated when a customer visits, and choose accepted tokens on configured blockchains as well as the tokens they receive. DePay says customers can pay with thousands of tokens across multiple blockchains. Checkout fields can collect a customer’s name, email, shipping address, country, and quantity. Sellers can set the primary color, choose a redirect or confirmation page after payment, and apply percentage discounts based on a code, token ownership, or NFT ownership. Successful payment emails and callback requests can notify customers and seller systems. DePay lists Shopify, WooCommerce, and WordPress plugins, plus managed integrations and APIs. The Open Source plan is free and has 0% transaction fees, but excludes platform features. Standard has a 1.5% transaction fee and up to two links; Pro also lists a 1.5% fee and can be unlocked with 1,000 DEPAY tokens or 1 Pro NFT.
