You can't. Payment Links require that a Product and Price already be created, and they additionally are not customer-specific.
What is the flow that you're trying to build?

i just want to send an link to an payment let's say $500 USD to an client...
how that can't be possible 😦

Do you want it to be single-use?
weak ivy
yeah, i want to charge him and store his cc, so I can later automatically charge the card.
ofc he would not tell his data like cvc number etc, i saw the other option

Hey Hakan, I have a sub solution I've used in the past via Stripe happy to share it, just sent a DM

If you want single-use, then Payment Links are not the right approach. Payment Links are designed to be made publicly accessible so many customers can use them.
If you need an Invoice to be associated with the payment, then you'll likely want to create an Invoice object and direct your client to our Hosted Invoice Page that is generated for Invoices.

If you don't need an Invoice, and still want to use a hosted experience, then you'll want to look into Checkout Sessions.

checkout sessions?
what you mean
how can I do that
that sounds like it would be useful for my case
digital walrus
The last link in my above message (pasting again for convenience and clarity) walks through how to use them, is there something specific in there that is giving you trouble?
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=web&ui=checkout
weak ivy
ahhh, that one is bascially for collecting payments and address. so i will be able later to retrieve this client and send invoice and charge automatically his cc right?
if yes, it is what i am searching
hm, that is code though. can I do exaclty that in the dashboard?
digital walrus
I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think so. This is a developer forum so we primarily focus on helping developers who are writing code to integrate Stripe with their project, and I'm not too familiar with the Stripe dashboard.

weak ivy

dont want to spin up a full blown server pipeline 😄 to just do one invoice
digital walrus
An Invoice via the dashboard probably is the way then.
weak ivy
