## Widgets

Our set of widgets are easy to install, and are the quickest way to implement Optty on a non-ecommerce platform.

These widgets include additional CTA information that can be configured from the UPP.

{% tab title="Hosted Payment Page" %}

## Hosted Payment Page

By implementing Optty's hosted payment page (Optty Direct), you can accept payments without needing to write any code. Payment links can be generated and shared directly from the UPP.

Additionally, the API allows for various use cases, such as attaching payment links to invoices or processing in-store payments.
