What is the Best way to Link to your Bitcoin Wallet to receive a Payment

Hi

What is the best way to construct a link on your site so someone who clicks that link can send you a Bitcoin Payment?

Thank you..

They will need to be running a bitcoin client to send money. As far as I know there isn't a way to link to a bitcoin transaction like you can use a "mailto:" link to send an email. Just include your bitcoin address, or if you are planning to take multiple payments, generate a unique address for each payment to keep track of the payments.

Not exactly what your looking for but its a stamaybe if he gets donations he can work on it some more.

Mybitcoin works nice too.

Would it just be best to give them this number



that the bitcoin apps give you..

Thank you

That works if you don't mind everyone knowing how much BTC is going to your address.  Otherwise, you have to generate a new address for each transfer and pass it privately.

Here's two different ways I set up

This links to my shortened bitcoin addy.

This links to my mybitcoin payment.  Redirect on payment or cancel is set to goto a btc penny/cent dish I setup, it also has a banner add so I get a little money when people click cancel or buy.
