ChargeLink: Smart Payment Links & Invoicing Without the Overhead

Published: 2025-05-17

← Back to Articles

Freelancers don’t need an accounting platform.
They need to get paid — fast, clearly, and globally.

That’s what ChargeLink solves:
A compact SaaS tool that lets you create branded payment links, auto-generate PDF invoices, and send them directly to clients — with full Stripe integration and zero bloat.


Why I Built It

Every invoicing tool today assumes you want dashboards, ledgers, taxes, currency conversion, recurring billing, client CRMs — and before you know it, you’re configuring 50 settings just to get $100 from a client.

I wanted the opposite:

  • Create a payment request in under 30 seconds
  • Add line items, due date, and email
  • Done — the system handles Stripe session creation, PDF generation, and email delivery

No login required for clients. No chasing payments manually.
Just a fast, branded experience that works.


How It Works

  • ⚡️ Instant payment link via Stripe
  • 🧾 PDF invoice auto-generated (logo, items, due date)
  • 📬 Email sent to the client with embedded pay link
  • 🔁 Session tracking + resend log + status updates

All data is securely stored in Supabase, and the platform is hosted on Vercel for speed and scalability.


What's Next?

ChargeLink is in private preview — I’m onboarding early users to refine the UX and cover edge cases.

Coming soon:

  • Client portal (for pay history)
  • Multiple currency support
  • Smart templates for repeat use
