A Payment Link starts in the `issued` state and moves through several states in its life cycle.

## Standard Payment Links

After a Standard Payment Link is created, you can track its status on your Dashboard on the Payment Link page. The diagram given below illustrates the life cycle of a Payment Link.

  **Handy Tips**

  * You cannot delete a Payment Link. However, you can cancel it. Know more about [cancelling Payment Links](/docs/payments/payment-links/cancel).
  * You can cancel a Payment Link only if it is in the `issued` state. You cannot cancel Payment Links in the `partially_paid` or `paid` state.
