Hello! What you're describing is not possible. Payment Links are designed to be shared with many different people, but Customers are designed to represent a single person. Once a Payment Link creates a Checkout Session for a specific transaction it might create a Customer and asssociate it with that Checkout Session, but you can't specify an existing Customer.
If you want to associate existing Customers with Checkout Sessions you should not use Payment Links. Instead you can create Checkout Sessions directly and specify the Customer when you create them: https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-customer

If you want to associate existing Customers with Checkout Sessions you should no...
interesting ok let me look into that real quick
so once i make a session how would i start a payment?
would this work for passing in the customer id?
orchid warren
No, buy buttons aren't going to work, those use Payment Links.
You'll need to write custom code to use Checkout Sessions directly.
Once you create the Checkout Session there will be a url property that you redirect your customer to.
atomic pecan
ahh i see
so im using react,
I could make a hook which returns a url that I could attach to the button ibe been using and then since im using the api I can add customer id and stuff like that?
orchid warren
Yeah, have a look at this guide: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=web&ui=checkout
atomic pecan
cool ill check that out
it looks like i need to set the quantity. Can I pass a flag that allows the user to change it?
https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create
also im not seeing and fields about product how would I include what they are buying? Do i need to fetch that info and manually include that?
orchid warren
Checkout does give you the ability to let your customers adjust the quanity, yeah, you can set that if you want.
You specify what's being purchased in the Checkout Session's line_items: https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items
