@real radish I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you an experienced developer writing your own code?

real radish Sep 26, 2023, 5:06 PM

#

just a mid level developer writing my own code

#

I am taking about this https://stripe.com/docs/payment-links/create

Why are you creating a PaymentLink for one customer though? That's not a really common integration. Those are usually used to be sent to many customers. Like a PaymentLink for ordering your book for $19.99 and then you tweet the PaymentLink's URL

#

if you have one Customer, you should get them on your website/app first for them to sign up and pay

I have a website and mobile app only, using future payments I am asking my user to give his credit card credentials and I save it for future off session payments. and when the services are completed I charge the customer but for some reason if payment fails what should i do next? and one thing if my customer didn't download the app and just order the services from website I cannot ask him for an onsession transaction. Is there any way that I can send something through email, so he could pay the amount onsession without downloading the app??

👋 hi there, stepping in.

if payment fails what should i do next?
So it sounds like you're already ina situation where you can accept payments? What are you using to accept them currently? Payment Links? There are a lot of options, so it's worth being explicit here.

#

Is there any way that I can send something through email, so he could pay the amount onsession without downloading the app??
There are a couple of ways to do this. You could create an Invoice with collection_method: "charge_automatically", or send a Payment Link or Checkout URL via your own email account (as opposed to Stripe's). A lot of solutions here.

I have a few questions about this, By payment link you mean Stripe generated payment link and using my own email address means the email address that I integrated with the backend to send different emails to customer. Right?

#

I want to use code for this process not some manual stuff. I will send request to stripe Api to create a payment link and then I will email that link to my customer. How does that sound?

Payment Link refers to Stripe's Payment Links (hence the capitalization): https://stripe.com/docs/payment-links

If you want Stripe to send the emails for you, then you will want to look into Invoicing using the above-mentioned collection_method parameter: https://stripe.com/docs/payment-links

Otherwise, you would need to include a link to either a Checkout URL or Payment Link URL in an email that you send from your own email client (e.g. not Stripe).

Payment links

Sell online without building a digital storefront.

#

and one last thing to generate a payment link I have to create a product first as mentioned here https://stripe.com/docs/payment-links/create
is there anyway that i can do it without creating product because i am charging for services?

Create a payment link

Create a custom payment page without using code.

No, but your product could be a service. You could just create a product called "My Service" and it would work just fine
