# Overview

The **Payment Requests API** provides a simple, shareable, and secure way for merchants to collect payments from their customers. With a single API, you can generate unique **links** or trigger a **bank push** that directs customers to complete payment—no website or heavy integration required.

## **Webhooks**

The **Payment Requests API** emits webhook events so you can track the lifecycle of a Payment Request (Link or Push) in real time and automate downstream actions like updating internal systems, notifying customers, or triggering workflows.
