For 3, here is the payment link's id
where would i find the cs live id?

Ah I think you have misunderstood something important about all of this
Your PromotionCode is limited to a specific Customer object in your account. The Customer cus_OOE5pd6YstNxfK.
But when you use PaymentLink, we have no idea who the end customer is and we have no way to "map them" to the existing Customer object in your account. There's no match on email addresses or anything (or it could be abused)
So basically this will never work
If you want to offer a discount to only one specific Customer you can not use PaymentLink. You have to write real code that will call the Create Checkout Session API https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create and explicitly pass customer: 'cus_123' to tell us this specific Customer you already created is the one buying so that we can validate that PromotionCode for them
Does that make sense?

So I would have to code it myself directly?
pseudo mirage
Yes
