Hello 👋
I don't think we support that usecase with PaymentLinks really. If you just want to send users the page where they can add a new payment method and pay the invoice, you have several options. The easiest one,

You can enable Customer emails under "Manage failed payments" in your billing settings
https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/automatic
This would send the customer an email with hosted invoice page link where they can add a new PaymentMethod and pay the invoice

Is it possible to create a new invoice (using the failed invoice as a template, for example), and send the customer a link to that invoice so that the customer can both update the payment method and pay the invoice?

#

Also, can you briefly describe some of the other several options you mentioned above?

Taking a step back, why would you want to create a new invoice here when you already have one that's open and ready to be paid? Trying to make sure I am on the same page.

Sure thing, the other option would be for you to integrate customer portal
https://stripe.com/docs/customer-management
It will allow your customers to add a new payment method and pay past invoices

#

If you want to handle everything in your UI via the API then you can retrieve clientSecret from subscription.latest_invoice.payment_intent & render Stripe Elements to collect a new PaymentMethod and pay the invoice

#

The reasoning for creating a new invoice was that the last one failed payment. If I can reuse it that's great.

#

So if I can reuse it, I already have an invoice. So all I have to to do is to redirect the customer to a place he can pay that invoice after updating the payment methods.

Yup

#

You can use invoice.hosted_invoice_url for that
https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-hosted_invoice_url

#

The hosted invoice page is on our frontend, or stripe's?

merry sluice Mar 3, 2023, 3:03 PM

#

Stripe's. If you want to handle it all on your own then you can use the API based approach I mentioned above

No, I want to offload as much as possible to Stripe

#

Gotcha 👍

I will experiment with that URL and come back if I have any questions. Thank you for your help, it's very much appreciated
