By sharing your Venmo link, you allow others to immediately access your profile and send money without needing to search or add your username. According to Venmo‘s 2022 annual numbers, over $330 billion was transferred on Venmo between users last year. So being able to conveniently share your link makes receiving payments easier than ever.

Sending the Link in Texts or Email

Embed on Websites, Profiles or Blogs
If you have any websites, online profiles or blogs under your name, you can embed your Venmo link directly on those pages too. Simply copy your account link and use your site‘s embed tool to add the live link anywhere visitors can easily see and click it.
This allows website traffic, blog readers or profile visitors to seamlessly send you money. Just make sure your site supports embedding external links.

Then anyone in that messaging app can access your Venmo profile straight from the shared link.
