# Create a payment link via QR code

In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the Request to Pay via QR Code API to create a Payment Link. By the end of this tutorial, you will know how to:

- Create a pre-printed or offline QR code for point-of-sale and bill payment

- Interpret the API response

## Before you begin

To use the Request to Pay API, you will need:

- A [registered and fully onboarded](/docs/quick-start) Developer Account on the J.P. Morgan Payments Developer Portal.

- An active project that provides you with the credentials used to make a request.

- Familiarize yourself with [QR codes](/docs/treasury/receivables/capabilities/request-to-pay-via-qr-code/qr-code) concepts.

## Create a Payment Link via QR code

If you need a pre-printed or offline QR Code to support request to pay, use the Payment Link endpoint. This endpoint will allow you to: 

- Link and Unlink payment request to Physical Stores or due dated utility bills collections.

- Retrieve all Payments links register with J.P. Morgan.

### Create a request

Create a `POST` request to the `/payment-links` endpoint and specify the expiration. Here's an example:

```curl
curl --request POST \
  --url https://api-mock.payments.jpmorgan.com/receivables/request-to-pay/v1/payment-links \
  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "expirationType": "IMMEDIATE",
  "country": "BR"
}'
```

```json
{
  "expirationType": "IMMEDIATE",
  "country": "BR"
}
```

### Confirm the response

A successful response will return a payload with the payment link and QR code details. Here's an example:

```json
{
  "id": "a901840f-2a0c-4f79-ae17-6d21ce75d58c",
  "expirationType": "IMMEDIATE",
  "country": "BR",
  "url": "https://jpmorgan.net/pix/4a110822-9c0a-4e3f-a36b-7c6578cddd1f",
  "createdAt": "2024-10-01T02:00:56Z"
}
```
