Hi! Let me help you with this.

#

We want to have dynamic products for each payment link and it's going to be hard for us to create products on the fly for each payment link.

#

Maybe I'm missing something and there is another way to create payment links or something like that.

👋 taking over for my colleague. Let me catch up.

If you want to create links on the fly it is much better to use Checkout Sessions: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/how-checkout-works

Here you can specify an amount or use line_items.price_data: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items-price_data

Does it support standard account?

light swan Nov 16, 2022, 10:17 AM

#

What do you mean by "standard account"?

fierce flower Nov 16, 2022, 10:17 AM

#

Oh, it's not Stripe Connect

#

It's stripe checkout

#

I mean our platform is not the merchant we provide to our merchant methods for creation of invoices and want to use Stripe for paying-out

#

Sure, every type of account can create Checkout Sessions.

fierce flower Nov 16, 2022, 10:20 AM

#

just like invoice2go

#

With checkout sessions we need to create products anyway :/

#

Or we don't need to pass items there?

#

Just set the amount and we good?

light swan Nov 16, 2022, 10:30 AM

#

Sorry, my bad, I misunderstood.

What you can do with CheckoutSessions is use price_data, where you dynamically specify the price for an item: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items-price_data

fierce flower Nov 16, 2022, 10:31 AM

#

so I need to still call the products api beforehand?

#

to create products I mean

light swan Nov 16, 2022, 10:32 AM

#

No, you can specify product_data inside of price_data, like this:

const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
  ...,
  line_items: [{
    price_data: {
      unit_amount: 1000,
      currency: 'usd',
      product_data: {
        name: 'Product name'
      }
    },
    quantity: 1
  }],
})

fierce flower Nov 16, 2022, 10:33 AM

#

hmm

light swan Nov 16, 2022, 10:33 AM

#

No products/prices will be created in your Dashboard

fierce flower Nov 16, 2022, 10:33 AM

#

yeah, that's what I need I think

#

Oh, wait

#

But I can't use linked accounts with that?

#

That's only for my account?

light swan Nov 16, 2022, 10:35 AM

#

You can, by specifying the Stripe-Account header/stripeAccount property: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/authentication

#

I understand, you are talking about Stripe Connect?

fierce flower Nov 16, 2022, 10:35 AM

#

yeah

light swan Nov 16, 2022, 10:36 AM

#

It will look like this, if you're using Node.js SDK:

const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
  ...,
  line_items: [{
    price_data: {
      unit_amount: 1000,
      currency: 'usd',
      product_data: {
        name: 'Product name'
      }
    },
    quantity: 1
  }],
}, { stripeAccount: '{{CONNECTED_ACCOUNT_ID}}' })

fierce flower Nov 16, 2022, 10:37 AM

#

great

#

and it returns the url to the checkout/payment page

#

that's what I need

#

thank you
