#CreativeMutation - Custom Field in Payment Links
gleaming leaf
Hi 👋
Nope I don't think that is possible. Your closest approximation is to add this info to the metadata property.

Thanks for replying. I am not using API, but just payment links
gleaming leaf
Ah, you mean you are creating payment links via the Dashboard? ( You can create them with the API too)
In that case no, we currently do not expose a way to add this information to payment links
hoary zinc
if I make a payment link using API, is it possible to add an obligatory custom field?
gleaming leaf
No, as I said, but you can add a key:value pair to the metadata which will get copied to the Checkout Session created when a customer uses the payment link
hoary zinc
can this key:value be an input by the user?
gleaming leaf
Your integration would need to capture it and provide it to the API. However you get that information is up to you

ok
one last question
is there a way to make this option obligatory?
see, what I need is just this, it is already built into the dashboard payment link. And the tax authorities require us to collect the tax number of all the payers on our platform.
so what i want is anyone paying on our platform needs to fill up this detial.

You can allow the customer to provide their tax ID but you cannot require it

okay, I understand
is it possible to limit the number of monthly payment for a subscription product? Let's say that in 3 months the subscription ends automatically?
gleaming leaf
You can achieve that with subscription schedules. But I don't think Payment Links have support for Subscription Schedules currently.

i am looking for no code solutions. SO in this case shall I create a subscritpion prodict manually?
gleaming leaf
No code solutions are, by their nature, less configurable than API based solutions. In this case you could simply use the Payment Links approach but you would need to manually cancel those subscriptions after the 3rd paid invoice.
