Hi 👋

#

The API does not allow changing the "name" of a payment link because that isn't an actual property of the payment link object: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_links/payment_links/object

#

bummer. that'd be a nice feature to enable easier searching in the Stripe Dashboard for non-engineering teams 😃

For 2), do you have an example?

#

not exactly. maybe i can provide a better explanation instead.

if i create a payment link with 1 product - which has 1 line item that charges a "recurring" fee of 2000/mo - how do i cancel that recurring fee if a user wants to do something like "Cancel Subscription"? meaning, I created a payment_link via the api, but not a subscription. does a subscription get created under the hood?

#

The subscription will get created as a result of the user completing the Checkout form that the payment link takes them to.

#

So you can use the /cancel endpoint for Subscriptions to cancel the resulting subscription.

#

ah!

#

is the subscription id the subscription field in the 'checkout.session.completed' webhook event?

#

Yup, that's the one: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/object#checkout_session_object-subscription

#

If you need more details you can retrieve the Checkout Session and expand the Subscription to get the full object
