If you need to create a customer every time, you should set up the payment link to do so: https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment-link/create#create_payment_link-customer_creation

Pyament link does'nt have a parameter to create a customer
west marsh
What i need to achieve is we alredy have a customer created on stripe and we will be sending apayment link to this customer at certain days of the month.
So for every payment they make using the payment link, I would like it to link to the customer already created on stripe
grand ore
Ah yeah the Payment Link doesn't support re-using a customer id
If you want a Stripe-hosted page that supports this, you'd need to use Checkout Sessions or Invoicing
west marsh
So what do you suggest for my case because i saw that checkout session has an expiry of 24 hours nad we are not considerring the Invoicing or subscription for now since i mentioned we will be creating our own invoicess
grand ore
yeah you'd need to build some intermediary page on your site that the customer goes to to click a button or something to create and redirect them to the checkout session if expiry is a concern
Or just build your own payment page with elements
west marsh
First we create the cutomer on stripe on Signup. We the click on button to send the payment link to the customer they pay using the link and the customer is creted on stripe. So when we send the link we expect not to send again after 24 hours because there might be several customers
grand ore
Not sure I understand. What's the question?

As i said my case is that we are creating our own invoice file and we will be using stripe for payment but with the payment links it doesn't attach the customer to the payment on stripe

Hi there 👋 jumping in as my teammate needs to step away soon. As my teammate suggested, I wouldn't use Payment Links if you already have Customers created within your Stripe account, I'd recommend creating a Checkout Session instead.
If you don't want to use Stripe Billing, then you'd set mode to payment when creating the Checkout Session.
west marsh
and for me to enable the the checkout link to last more, Because i noted that it expires AT 24hours
knotty anvil
It's not possible to extend that longer than 24 hours, but you can create a new session if the previous one expires.
west marsh
since for our case we will be sending to a number of customers and they have a grace period of around a week to pay. What can you advice on that
