Hi
What price/product you are willing to use then ? the platform ?

[unkempt plank]

Currently, we're using Stripe Connect in a combination with Express accounts + Direct charges (capture_method = manual), and since we have products + prices defined on our separate system, we'd like generate a PaymentLink when order is being processed already but the customer would like to use different payment method to pay for the order.

we're using Stripe Connect in a combination with Express accounts + Direct charges
First of all you should be using Standard Accounts with Direct Charges
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/direct-charges#:~:text=Using direct charges is recommended for Standard accounts

You can't create a PaymentLink without products. You want to use PaymentLink just for collecting payment details ?

If so, then you can't do that using PaymentLinks, you should be using Checkout Session:

I see.
We're already collecting payment methods through Checkout, however, due to our use case, we're later creating new PaymentIntents and capturing them on the backend. Sometimes customers would like to use a different payment method then the one they used when placing an order.

In these cases, we'd create a PaymentLink on behalf of Connected account for set amount and send the link to the customer.

Why not creating a new CheckoutSession in order to collect that new PaymentMethod and use it ? you can ask your customer what is the default PaymentMethod to be used in future too.

Good point. Will take that into consideration.

Thanks for your time 🙂
