Description
### Impacted plugin
Jetpack
### Quick summary
When in the Jetpack > Settings > Monetize dashboard, the `Enable payment button` and `Enable donation form` links redirect to an unexpected place.
### Steps to reproduce
1. On an ads-enabled Jetpack site, go to Jetpack > Settings > Monetize.
2. Scroll to Collect Payments and click `Enable Payment Button` OR
3. Scroll to Accept donation and tips and click `Enable donations form.`
### A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
Each link should go to a page specific to that setting, or maybe the main `Monetization Options` tab.
### What actually happened
Redirect goes to the `Payment Settings` tab (https://wordpress.com/earn/payments/URL), which is not related to either of above mentioned options. Might make the user feel lost.
### Impact
Most (> 50%)
### Available workarounds?
Yes, difficult to implement
### Platform (Simple and/or Atomic)
Self-hosted
### Logs or notes

Contributor guide
Research direction
The affected entry point is Jetpack > Settings > Monetize, specifically Collect Payments and Accept donation and tips. Reproduce both links, trace their configured destinations, and verify that each reaches the relevant setting or Monetization Options tab rather than Payment Settings.
