Hi, let me help you with this.
Stripe Checkout and Payment Links are 2 different products. I assume you're using the Stripe Checkout.
The main difference is that Payment Links generate multi-use, non-expiring payment URLs. However, they are mostly created as a no-code solution.
For your use case, you probably need to still use Stripe Checkout, which generates individual, short-lived URLs, but use it a little differently.
What you could do instead, share a link with your customers to your own server endpoint, which in turns generates a fresh Checkout Session, and redirects the customer to it. This way, each customer will get an individual customized Session, but you won't need to worry about expiry.
As a rule of thumb I use, deciding between Payment Links and Stripe Checkout: if you generate it automatically - use Stripe Checkout. But you're not supposed to send Checkout Session URLs in emails etc, but use the approach I suggested above.

In that case, you could probably adapt Payment Links for your situation.
