How to Get Paid From Anywhere in the World with Your Hutpage or HutPay Link

Guides · Linkhut Team · 2026-10-28 · 8 min read

Receive payments in Naira and dollars from customers in Nigeria and abroad, straight into your Nigerian bank account. Step-by-step guides for your Hutpage and your HutPay link.

<p>You have a customer in London, a client in Houston, a fan in Accra and a buyer in Lagos. All of them want to pay you. With Linkhut, all of them can, and the money lands in your Nigerian bank account.</p>

<p>This guide explains how it works, the two ways to receive payments, and gives you a step-by-step walkthrough for each one.</p>

<h2>Yes, you can receive payments from anywhere in the world</h2>

<p>Linkhut works out where your buyer is paying from and shows them the right checkout:</p>

<ul>

<li><strong>Buyers in Nigeria</strong> pay in Naira by bank transfer, OPay or debit card.</li>

<li><strong>Buyers outside Nigeria</strong> (UK, US, Canada, Europe, Ghana, Kenya and more) pay in US dollars with their Visa, Mastercard or other international card.</li>

<li><strong>You</strong> get paid into your verified Nigerian bank account. You don't need a domiciliary account, PayPal or a foreign bank account.</li>

</ul>

<p>Buyers abroad never have to send money to an account number or work out an exchange rate. They see a dollar price, pay with the card already in their wallet, and you both get a receipt.</p>

<h2>The two ways to receive payment</h2>

<table>

<thead><tr><th></th><th>Hutpage</th><th>HutPay link</th></tr></thead>

<tbody>

<tr><td><strong>What it is</strong></td><td>Your full online storefront at linkhut.co/yourname</td><td>A single payment link you send in any chat</td></tr>

<tr><td><strong>Best for</strong></td><td>Creators, shops, event hosts, food vendors, coaches with several things to sell</td><td>Freelancers, consultants, agencies, and anyone closing deals in DMs</td></tr>

<tr><td><strong>What you can sell</strong></td><td>Products, digital downloads, tickets, menus, bookings, stays, memberships and more</td><td>One product or service per link</td></tr>

<tr><td><strong>Payment options</strong></td><td>One-off checkout per widget</td><td>Pay once, installments, progress payments or recurring</td></tr>

<tr><td><strong>Do you need the other?</strong></td><td>No</td><td>No. A HutPay link works without a Hutpage</td></tr>

</tbody>

</table>

<p>Many sellers use both. The Hutpage goes in their bio, and they send HutPay links for custom quotes.</p>

<h2>Before you start: add your bank account</h2>

<p>Every payment goes straight to your bank, so set this up first:</p>

<ol>

<li>Sign up or log in at <a href="https://linkhut.co">linkhut.co</a>.</li>

<li>Go to <strong>Profile</strong> (or the <strong>Payments</strong> tab of any Hutpage) and add your bank details.</li>

<li>Your account name is checked instantly. Once it's verified, you can take payments in Naira and in dollars.</li>

</ol>

<p>Payouts usually arrive within 26 hours, except on weekends.</p>

<h2>Method 1: Step-by-step guide to creating your Hutpage</h2>

<p>Your Hutpage is one link that holds everything you do. It goes in your Instagram, TikTok, X or WhatsApp bio.</p>

<ol>

<li><strong>Open Hutpages.</strong> In the app, tap <strong>Hutpages</strong> in the bottom menu.</li>

<li><strong>Pick a template or start blank.</strong> Templates come ready for musicians, shops, food vendors, coaches, event hosts and more. You can change everything later.</li>

<li><strong>Choose your page link.</strong> For example, <em>linkhut.co/yourname</em>. Keep it short and easy to say out loud.</li>

<li><strong>Add your photo, name and bio.</strong> Tell visitors who you are and what you sell in one line.</li>

<li><strong>Add widgets in Live Edit.</strong> Pick the ones that match your business:

<ul>

<li><strong>Store</strong> for physical or digital products</li>

<li><strong>Events</strong> for tickets</li>

<li><strong>Menu</strong> for food orders</li>

<li><strong>Bookings, Rate card, Stays or Memberships</strong> for services</li>

</ul></li>

<li><strong>Set your prices.</strong> Enter your Naira price. You can also set your own dollar price for buyers abroad. If you don't, Linkhut converts it at the platform rate.</li>

<li><strong>Check the Payments tab.</strong> Confirm your bank account and choose whether you or the buyer covers the transaction charges.</li>

<li><strong>Publish and share.</strong> Copy your link and put it in your bio, status and posts.</li>

</ol>

<p><strong>Tip:</strong> Open your page on your phone the way a customer would before you share it, and tap through one checkout.</p>

<h2>Method 2: Step-by-step guide to creating a HutPay link</h2>

<p>A HutPay link is the fastest way to get paid for one thing. Instead of sending bank details in a DM, you send a link.</p>

<ol>

<li><strong>Open HutPay</strong> from the bottom menu and tap <strong>Create payment link</strong>.</li>

<li><strong>Choose Products or Services.</strong> Pick Services for things like design work, consulting, coaching or retainers.</li>

<li><strong>Add the details:</strong> a clear name (for example, "UI/UX design: 3 screens"), a photo, a short description and the price.</li>

<li><strong>Set a dollar price if you work with clients abroad</strong>, for example $100. International buyers see only this dollar amount.</li>

<li><strong>Pick how the buyer pays:</strong>

<ul>

<li><strong>Pay once</strong>: the full amount in one go</li>

<li><strong>Payment plan</strong>: installments, with a minimum first payment you choose</li>

<li><strong>Progress payments</strong>: the client pays as each piece of work is delivered</li>

<li><strong>Recurring</strong>: weekly, monthly or yearly, which suits retainers and subscriptions</li>

</ul></li>

<li><strong>Save and share.</strong> Send it by WhatsApp, Instagram, X or email, copy it, or show a QR code.</li>

<li><strong>Track it in HutPay.</strong> You'll see every payment, every active plan and what's still outstanding. Buyers can check their own balance with just their email.</li>

</ol>

<p><strong>Tip:</strong> Turn on <em>Show on a Hutpage</em> if you also want the item listed on your storefront.</p>

<h2>What your buyer sees</h2>

<ul>

<li><strong>In Nigeria:</strong> the Naira price, then a simple checkout with Transfer, OPay or Card.</li>

<li><strong>Abroad:</strong> the dollar price and a card checkout. They don't see any conversion maths or Nigerian bank details.</li>

<li><strong>Charges:</strong> if you choose to pass them on, the buyer sees one clear "Transaction fee" line before paying, with no surprise extras.</li>

<li><strong>After paying:</strong> an instant receipt by email, plus a WhatsApp confirmation if they opt in.</li>

</ul>

<h2>Why this beats bank details in DMs</h2>

<ul>

<li><strong>No fake alerts.</strong> A payment only counts once it's confirmed, so you're not relying on a screenshot.</li>

<li><strong>No lost foreign sales.</strong> "I don't have a Nigerian account" stops being a problem.</li>

<li><strong>No chasing.</strong> Installment and recurring reminders go out automatically.</li>

<li><strong>A professional look.</strong> A branded checkout builds trust with new customers.</li>

</ul>
