# Tracking Payment Links

Monitor your payment links to see their state, view payment attempts, and track completed transactions.

## Refunds
Refunds on payments made through payment links are handled the same way as other payments. For more information, see [Refunds](https://docs.finix.com/guides/after-the-payment/refunds).

## Payment Link States

Payment links move through different states as buyers interact with them. Filter the payment links list by state to quickly find what you're looking for.

| Status      | Description                                                |
|-------------|------------------------------------------------------------|
| **Active**  | The payment link is available for buyers to use.          |
| **Completed** | A payment has been successfully made (single-use links only). |
| **Expired**  | The link validity period has passed and the link can no longer be used. |
| **Deactivated** | The payment link was manually deactivated and can no longer be used. |

## View Payment Link States

To check the state of your payment links:

1. In the Dashboard, navigate to **Tools** in the left navigation.
2. Click **Payment Links**.

The list shows each payment link's state, amount, and creation date. Use the state filter to narrow down the list.

## View Payment Attempts

To see all payment attempts for a specific payment link:

1. Select a payment link from the list to open its details page.
2. Click the **Payment Attempts** tab.

Each payment attempt shows:

- Buyer information
- Amount
- State (Succeeded, Failed, Pending)
- Payment instrument and type
- Created timestamp

Click any attempt to view the full payment attempt details page.

## View Payment Details

From a payment attempt, you can navigate to the associated payment:

1. Open a payment attempt from the **Payment Attempts** tab.
2. Click the **Payment** link to open the payment details page.

The payment details page shows complete transaction information, including the payment link that generated it.
