# How can a coach or freelancer take payments with a link?

URL: https://gocutline.com/answers/payment-links-for-coaches/

Connect your own Stripe account to Cutline, then create a payment link for a session, a package or an invoice and send it to the client. Payments land in Cutline's Revenue the moment they happen. Cutline's fee is 5% on Free, 2% on Verified and Crew, and 0% on Pro and Brand; Stripe's normal card fees apply.

## How it works
1. In Revenue, connect your Stripe account (you own it; Cutline never holds your money).
2. Create a link: a title and an amount.
3. Send it by message, email or text. The client pays by card.
4. See the payment in Revenue at once.

## Fees
| Plan | Cutline fee |
|---|---|
| Free | 5% |
| Verified, Crew | 2% |
| Pro, Brand | 0% |
Stripe's own card fees apply on every plan. See [get paid](https://gocutline.com/get-paid/).

## Questions

**Do clients need a Cutline account?**
No. They open the link and pay with a card.
