Hi,
After a customer is created you can create a Customer Portal for them

Good, I know this. But help me to understand flow. Is this flow is correct:

Customer subscribe via payment link;
Upon subscription I receive webhook and add Stripe customer ID to my system DB;
Now customer can manage his subscription via customer portal (change plan, cancel etc.);

#

I don't understand -> in future, how to add new subscriptions to the same customer? All order are via payment links.

You can't achieve this using Payment Links, for existing customer you need to use Stripe Checkout with the customerId you stored previously

aha, so this is payment link limitation...

#

gotcha

#

last question: does the payment link URL params such "reference_customer_id" is visible in any webhook info?
