First and Third Party Support

LINK supports both first-party and third-party payments on the Retail API and the LINK Business Dashboard.

⚠️

NOTE: First-party and third-party functionality is currently available only for withdrawals.

First Party and Third Party Support

  • First Party: The payment is made directly from or to the customer’s own account or wallet.
  • Third Party: The payment is made from or to an external account or wallet that belongs to a third party, as authorized by the customer.

First Party Support Only

The LINK B2B API supports first-party withdrawals only. Each business end-user created by a merchant is KYB-verified by LINK to enable compliant payment flows.
