hello! i'm afraid i don't quite understand, can you describe with an example?

inland carbon Mar 7, 2023, 2:38 AM

#

hello and thanks! Yes. I understand how to create a payment link. It makes complete sense that if I set up a product with a specific price I can create a payment link.

#

as I am typing I think there might be some logic I can use graduated or volume pricing....

#

but...

#

is it possible to have one product that has different prices? And I can set the price based on the payment link I create?

#

I am still thinking my way through this so if you're confused it's ok!

#

I think what I am I looking for is to create payment links on the fly...for a generic product but with different prices

#

yes, you can set different Prices under a Product. And yes, you can decide what Price to be used in the Payment Link you create : https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_links/payment_links/create#create_payment_link-line_items

ok I see that if I create multiple prices for the product it keeps the same API ID

#

I am looking to see how I can present the correct link to the customer. I dont want them to choose. I want to guarantee they pay the correct amount

#

ok I see that if I create multiple prices for the product it keeps the same API ID - what does this mean? Each Price has it's own Price ID.

#

you're passing in the Price ID when creating the Payment Link

#

which object ID are you referring to when you say it keeps the same API ID?

inland carbon Mar 7, 2023, 2:50 AM

#

nope- I am mistaken

#

when I create multiple prices for a product there are different API IDs

#

It looks like there is no way to pass a specific price with a product to create a payment link.

#

It's possible that the price could be, for example, anything between 1 and 100 including cents e.g between 1.00 and 99.99

#

its a difficult customer 🙂

fathom forum Mar 7, 2023, 2:56 AM

#

so are you saying that you want to define an amount range for a particular Price object? and let the customer choose how much to pay between that range?

inland carbon Mar 7, 2023, 2:57 AM

#

yes and pass it in at the time of creating a payment link - but no I need to make sure they pay the exact amount that I specify

#

yes to a range, no to letting them decide

#

I think the only way this works is whatever logic they use to determine the price, I would need to reproduce that logic within the stripe product

#

is this what you're looking for? think it may not be possible to achieve this via the API though

inland carbon Mar 7, 2023, 3:02 AM

#

no, because I cannot let them choose. Sometimes the price of the product might be 12.50, sometimes 13.75, sometimes 22.25...it differs from customer to customer.

#

more typically it will be the same price 90% of the time. The other 10% it can vary quite a bit.

i think i understand what you're trying to do - you would want to use Checkout Sessions instead to generate the Price inline / adhoc and define the amount : https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items-price_data

inland carbon Mar 7, 2023, 3:06 AM

#

hmm let me run that through postman rn

#

cool we might be on to something here.

fathom forum Mar 7, 2023, 3:08 AM

#

I would send the customer a link to your app, and your app would then generate a Checkout Session when the customer loads the page
