How to share payment links and QR codes payments and review payments in Perno Creators

1. Find the payment option

Go to Perno Creators and select Payments and tips from the menu on the left.

Find the payment option you want to share. Next to it, you will see the direct payment address, the Copy button, the amount or amount range, and the status.

Click the three-dot menu on the right of the selected option.

2. Copy and share the payment link

Click Copy next to the address of the selected payment.

You can include the copied link in:

• a social media post;

• a video description;

• a newsletter;

• a private message;

• a livestream chat;

• an invoice or digital material.

The link leads directly to the page for that payment.

3. Check the payment page

Select Open payment page from the selected option’s menu.

The page shows the payment recipient in Payment for, the title, description and information needed to make a payment. The footer identifies Perno Creators as the application.

For tips, supporters can select a suggested amount or use Other amount to enter another value within the permitted range.

The form also includes Your name and Email address. After entering the required information, the visitor clicks Continue to secure payment to proceed to the next payment step.

You can change the page language using the menu in the upper-right corner.

4. Display, download or print the QR code

Return to Payments and tips, open the selected option’s menu and click Show QR code.

The Payment QR code page shows the QR code, payment name and information about the amount or the payer’s ability to choose it.

The following buttons are available below the code:

The payment address is also displayed in Payment link.

You can display the QR code during a livestream, meeting or event, or place it on a poster or flyer. Scanning it opens the same payment flow as the direct link.

5. Edit the payment option

Select Edit from the option’s menu.

In the Payment option form, you can change the settings available for that payment type, such as the title, description, button text and amounts. For tips, these include:

• Minimum amount — the minimum payment amount;

• Maximum amount — the maximum payment amount;

• Suggested tip amounts — suggested tip values.

After making your changes, click Save.

6. Distinguish between hiding and deactivating an option

Visibility on your public profile is independent of whether the payment link is active.

Hide the option if you want to share it only with selected people through a link or QR code. Deactivate it when you want to stop accepting new payments.

Delete removes the option — it should not be treated as a button for hiding it.

7. Review payments and their statuses

On the Payments and tips page, go to Payments received. The list includes both completed payments and payment attempts.

Pending means that the payment is awaiting completion. An entry appearing in the list does not confirm receipt of funds — check its status.
