# Send payment requests via Chat 2 Pay
As an agent, you can use the Chat 2 Pay extension to send a payment request to a customer directly from Chat Desk.

Currently, only agents on Chat Desk can send a Chat 2 Pay link to end-users. A Supervisor can see all the details of Chat 2 Pay transactions (e.g., how many Chat 2 Pay payment links were sent, which agent(s) sent the Chat 2 Pay payment links, what the current and past statuses of a Chat 2 Pay transaction are, etc.) in the Supervisor Desk.
