When I create a payment link and test the lifetime product - no invoice is created, only payment, is this correct?
You need to opt in to invoices for one-time (non-recurring) payments: https://docs.stripe.com/receipts?payment-ui=payment-links#paid-invoices
When I create payment link and create a monthly subscription and then with the same email and payment link I create yearly subscription it creates a new customer and new subscription. Should it link to same customer or no?
No that is not supported today. Each subscription will create a new customer when using Payment Links

Hi ynnoj, thanks a lot for your answer. Is there an other way of purchasing subscription except payment links? Or rather, lets say user buys a monthly subscription and then wants to upgrade to yearly, is there a way to do this natively using stripe? Or we need to implement this on our side?

Sure, you can use Checkout which is the underlying UI behind Payment Links but you have more control with the sessions API (like reusing cus_xxx IDs). Or you can build a custom UI entirely with Elements: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions
Depends on your needs, really

Thanks a lot! I found that there is a self-service portal which is exactly what we currently need. https://docs.stripe.com/customer-management Thanks again for your help and have a nice day 🙂
