Hello
limpid fern
Hi
karmic sentinel
Yes Payment Links do create Checkout Sessions
limpid fern
and 1, and 3?
karmic sentinel
Yes you can use certain URL parameters with Payment Links, see: https://docs.stripe.com/payment-links/url-parameters
3/ No -- when your customer visits your Payment Link that will trigger the necessary calls. You don't have to do anything here.
limpid fern
I need to return parameters, sending them to stripe doesn't helo
help
I want to pass the affiliate ID over a payment link and get it back after checkout completed
karmic sentinel
Sure then you want to use the client_reference_id most likely
limpid fern
that's not possible without checkouts?
karmic sentinel
See the above doc
limpid fern
I read the doc link 12 times haha
karmic sentinel
https://docs.stripe.com/payment-links/url-parameters#streamline-reconciliation-with-a-url-parameter discusses how you pass client_reference_id as a URL parameter
limpid fern
sorry, don't get it. For me, the doc says client_reference_id can only be used with checkout.sesssion.completed
karmic sentinel
And that will come through your Webhook endpoint via the checkout.session.completed Event
Yes that is how you receive that data
You create a Webhook endpoint and listen for checkout.session.completed
See: https://docs.stripe.com/webhooks for info on Webhooks
limpid fern
yeah... but then I can't just use payment links, right?
as you said, payment link doesn't create a checkout
sorry, english is not my mother tongue. to be ABSOLUTELY sure, kindly reply this once again: can I ONLY return UTM parameters by using checkout sessions?
karmic sentinel
Payment Links do create Checkout Sessions
When a customer clicks on your Payment Link that creates a Checkout Session
I'd recommend testing it out!
It takes 2 minutes to test in test mode!
limpid fern
Yes Payment Links do create Checkout Sessions
my fault, didn't read carefully.
karmic sentinel
All good
limpid fern
actually I tested it, and my webhook didn't receive anything, that's why I came here 😄
I'll test again
thank oyu bud
