This article explains how payment links work in KAST and how to use them to send money to other people. You’ll learn how to create a payment link, how recipients can claim it, what different link statuses mean, and what to do if something goes wrong.
What Is a Payment Link in KAST?
A payment link is a shareable payment link that lets you send money to someone, even if they do not have a KAST account yet.
The recipient can open the link on their phone and follow the steps to claim the money. Payment links can be shared through text messages, WhatsApp, email, or other messaging platforms.
Who Can Use Payment Links?
To send a payment link:
- You need an active KAST account
- You must have enough balance to complete the transfer
To receive a payment link:
- You can already have a KAST account
- Or you can create a new KAST account during the claim process
If you are new to KAST, you need to complete verification steps before accessing the funds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I earn anything when someone new joins KAST via my link?
Yes. You earn $20 when the recipient joins KAST and spends $100 within 45 days.
Does the new user get anything?
Yes. New users who join via a Payment Link get 10% off a Premium or Luxe membership (20% if you're an affiliate).
Why does my KAST payment link say it isn’t available?
The payment link may have already been claimed, expired, cancelled, or rejected. Check the link status in the app for more details.
Why can’t the receiver claim my KAST payment link after signing up?
Make sure they are signing in with the same phone number or email address they used when starting the claim process. Using different details may prevent the claim from completing successfully.
What should I do if I shared my KAST payment link with the wrong person?
Cancel the payment link immediately if cancellation is still available. Once a link is claimed, the transfer cannot be reversed.
Can someone without KAST receive a payment link?
People without KAST can still receive a payment link. They will be guided through account creation and any required verification steps before claiming the funds.
Do payment links expire?
Payment links expire if they are not claimed within 5 days. Reserved links also expire in 20 days. Expired links can no longer be claimed by recipients.
