One link to get paid by card, bank or crypto

Who is a Get paid link for?

It suits freelancers, contractors and gig workers who send a different payment handle to every client. You share one link instead. Once you turn cards on, a client with a card and no crypto can pay it, and so can a client who pays everything in crypto.

Your client does not need an Artisan account. They open the page, pick a way to pay and pay.

How does a Get paid link work?

• First. Verify your account in Artisan, which you do once. Then open Get paid, give your page a title and turn it on.
• Second. Share the link or show the QR code. For a link with your own name, claim a cash tag in Settings.
• Third. Your client picks a way to pay. You can set a fixed amount, or leave it blank so the client types it.
• Fourth. The payment lands in your Artisan account as USDC.

What does the person paying see?

Your page draws only the ways that work for your account.

• Card. A debit or credit card, or Apple Pay or Google Pay where the phone or browser offers them.
• Bank. The client links their bank, or sends to the account numbers the page shows.
• USDC. The page shows an address on Base, a network that wallets use, and a QR code that a wallet app scans.
• Another network. A client who holds a different coin on a different network picks it from a list.

Card and bank payments have a range of amounts, shown on the page, and the page points to another way to pay outside it.

What do you set up first?

Artisan asks only for what it does not already have, so you do not repeat your verification.

Cards are a separate switch. They stay off until you turn them on, which asks for your mobile number and your agreement to the card terms. If Artisan does not hold them, it also asks for the last 4 digits of your Social Security number. Review usually takes a few minutes.

Cards and bank transfers to account numbers are not available in every state yet. USDC works on every page that is on.

How soon does the money arrive?

A card payment usually takes a few business days to reach your account, and your first can take longer. A bank payment arrives a few business days after the bank confirms it. A USDC payment has no bank step.

Your Get paid screen lists recent payments and shows where each one stands. You receive a card or bank payment less the fee, as USDC. Bank payments open once you turn on cards. The app shows the fee for card and bank payments before you turn them on.

Can you pay a contractor with crypto?

Yes. Open the contractor’s Artisan link and pick USDC on Base, or choose another coin and network from the list. They receive USDC in their Artisan account.

You do not need an Artisan account to pay. You send from your own wallet, the same way you would to any address.

Do you need crypto to get paid or to pay?

No. A client can pay by card or bank, and crypto is one option among them. You receive USDC, a stablecoin, and you can pay bills straight from it. Pay bills with USDC shows how.

Is there a QR code for the link?

Yes. Your Get paid screen shows a QR code for your link beside Share link. A client scans it with a phone camera and lands on your page. You can print it or show it on a screen.

How do you turn USDC into cash?

Cashing out is a separate step. From Send in the app, you can cash out to a US bank account in your name, and the review screen shows the fee before you approve. Cash out to a bank is not available in New York.

Cash out USDC to your bank covers both speeds.

Who can use it?

Artisan is for US residents aged 18 or older. New members join from the waitlist and are told when their spot opens.

Artisan is a software company, not a bank, and a USDC balance is not a deposit and is not FDIC or SIPC insured. Read where your money is and the risk disclosures before you share your link.
