hello! sorry but unfortunately not, you can't create arbitrary product info on the fly using Payment Links. You would need to create a Product (if it doesn't already exist) and a Price

is there any possible alternative to make the "push checkout to customer" concept work?
agile imp
Not if you want your customer service staff to be able to do everything via the Stripe Dashboard.
If you're willing to implement your own solution, you can consider using Checkout Sessions as well I guess : https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create. The reason why I didn't originally suggest this is because it needs to be implemented entirely via the API

That's fine. This is going to be built into a proprietary dashboard. The key part is getting something to the customer.

ah, then Checkout Sessions is also an option, you can look at the Stripe hosted page :
- https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/how-checkout-works
- https://docs.stripe.com/checkout/quickstart
I'd like to point out that the limitation with Checkout Sessions is that there is a max expiry time : https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-expires_at
simple solstice
most of these issues will be customers that call on the phone needing guidance but are not 100% ready to commit to payment yet
