There is no such thing as a Bitcoin transaction URL. Bitcoin transactions are identified by a transaction-ID which looks like 31144ef6faaad902f3ec4e6f6241aa09f9ea08374abb67242039f3285414cd2e

There exist web sites run by various organisations that allow you to search for Bitcoin transaction data by transaction-ID.

However, any honest recipient only needs the transaction-ID, they don't need you to tell them which blockchain explorer they should be using.

Dishonest recipients will often mis-use technical terms to try and confuse you into paying them more money.
