thanks two-shoes
similary is it possible to generate a Payment Link via an API by sending in a price and product?

The answer is complicated but it boils down to: sort of, but it's probably better to use one-off Invoices instead of any of Stripe's Subscriptions
keen badger
oooo didn't even think of Invoice
and I found the other answer https://stripe.com/docs/payment-links/api
sweeet thanks two-shoes

Can you give a bit more information about how the variable amount is decided?
keen badger
basically total / months
so if we have a computer at $100 with a 10 month payment plan of $10/mo
obtuse plank
So each payment would be exactly $10?
obtuse plank
I mean, you would probably want to use Subscriptions in this case, since the amount is the same. You would just create a Subscription that cancels itself after 10 successful payments

quick question as to your point two-shoes, if the $10 month was variable per month, could you still do that via subscriptions or would you wnat to pivot to charges then?

Hi there. Taking over for two-shoes
What will the amount be variable on?
You could rely on invoice items to achieve this
keen badger
so the agent would be allowed to "override" the monthly amount, basically
agent would select a product
agent would select 6 months
react makes 6 fields
agent can overwrite the field with a amount
and side question - can invoices charge SetupIntents?
solar bronze
That doesn't make sense
SetupIntents aren't charges
They just set up payment methods for future usage. That's all they do
keen badger
sorry - can you charge based on a card saved from a SetUpIntent
solar bronze
Yes you can
