# Managing Payment Links

> Find, filter, edit, deactivate and reactivate storekit payment links from the dashboard, and understand how expiry dates and payment caps close a link.

All of a store's payment links live under **Payment Links** in the left-hand navigation.

## The Payment Links List

Choose a store from the selector at the top of the page. Each row shows **Title**, **Type**, **Amount**, **Status**, **Store**, **Payments** (successful payments so far) and **Created**. Click a row to open the link.

Two sets of filters sit above the list:

* Status: **All**, **Active**, **Inactive**, **Expired**
* Type: **All**, **One-off**, **Reusable**

## Statuses

| Status        | Meaning                                                                                                   | Customer opening the link                                                  |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Active**    | Accepting payments                                                                                        | Checkout page                                                              |
| **Inactive**  | Deactivated by you                                                                                        | **Link expired** — "This payment link has expired or is no longer active." |
| **Expired**   | The **Link expiry date** has passed                                                                       | **Link expired**                                                           |
| **Completed** | A one-off link that has been paid, or a reusable link that has reached its **Maximum number of payments** | **Already paid** — "This payment link has already been used."              |

The status filter has no **Completed** option; choose **All** and look at the **Status** column.

## Edit a Link

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the link">
    Click **Payment Links**, then click the link in the list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Change the fields">
    Edit the fields in the form on the left. The **Store**, **Link Type**, **Amount Type** and set amount are locked; everything else — **Title**, **Description**, **Reference**, **Min Amount**, **Max Amount**, **Max Payments**, **Image**, **Expiry Date** and **After Payment** — can change.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Save** in the bar at the top. Changes apply to the live link immediately; anyone who opens it afterwards sees the new details.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Deactivate a Link

Deactivate a link when it has been shared too widely, the price is wrong, or the thing it paid for is no longer on offer.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the link">
    Click **Payment Links**, then click the link in the list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Deactivate">
    Click **Deactivate** in the bar at the top and confirm. The link's status becomes **Inactive**; anyone opening the URL sees that it is no longer available.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Deactivating does not affect payments already taken. You can still view and refund them.

## Reactivate a Link

Open an **Inactive** link and click **Activate**. The button only appears on links you deactivated yourself.

**Expired** and **Completed** links cannot be reactivated from the dashboard. Create a new link instead.

## Expiry Dates and Payment Caps

Two settings close a link without you doing anything:

* **Link expiry date** — a date and time after which the link shows **Expired**. Useful for deposits that must be paid by a deadline, or an early-bird price.
* **Maximum number of payments** — reusable links only. After this many successful payments the link becomes **Completed**. Useful for events with a fixed number of places.

Both can be edited while the link is still **Active**. Raise the cap or push the date back before the link closes; once it is **Completed** or **Expired** it stays that way.

## Delete a Link

Payment links cannot be deleted from the dashboard. Deactivate the link instead; it stays in the list under the **Inactive** filter with its payment history intact.
