Hi there!

#

I'm not sure I understand your question. You want to send a Payment Link to your customer once per month?

tight talon Jan 18, 2023, 10:09 AM

#

Hi @untold wedge Yes I need to send the payment link after that I need to know who is the user paid and other details(in API)

#

@untold wedge ?

#

I'm not sure that our products work the way you're expecting them to work

tight talon Jan 18, 2023, 10:37 AM

#

Okay. Is there any option can I create a payment link with the email of the customer?

unreal hill Jan 18, 2023, 10:39 AM

#

no that' not possible

#

Payment Links are meant to be used for campaigns when you don't know the customer

tight talon Jan 18, 2023, 10:40 AM

#

okay. Thanks for your support!

unreal hill Jan 18, 2023, 10:40 AM

@unreal hill

We want to use the stripe subscription for a monthly billing but only problem is that we don't have payment to be automated, instead we want a URL from where customer should be able to pay as per their availability.

So, we are working with some corporates from whom we can't get the payment on exact time every month, so need a flexibility for the the same.

Do, let us know what solution Stripe can provide us in this regards.

Thank you

#

you can use collection_method:send_invoice for subscriptions

tight talon Jan 18, 2023, 11:11 AM

#

@next fulcrum But we have to provide the payment link after they're done with the payment we need to update some records in our database.

#

not sure what you mean by that, what is a 'payment link' in your description?

#

https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-collection_method is how you create a subscription that will email the customer each month to ask for payment

tight talon Jan 18, 2023, 11:15 AM

#

I got your point. We don't want to charge automatically, instead we have to send a link to customer they can pay anytime (https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-links/api)

next fulcrum Jan 18, 2023, 11:17 AM

#

then either :

use the Subscription API and send_invoice , the customer is sent a link to the Hosted Invoice Page to pay on (https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/hosted-invoice-page); you wouldn't be using PaymentLinks
don't use our Subscriptions and build the recurring logic yourself and directly email the customers a PaymentLink each month

tight talon Jan 18, 2023, 11:19 AM

#

Okay @next fulcrum Thanks. I'll try with the first step.
