Payment Links are designed to be re-usable, and require a defined price object to be specified
https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment-link/create#create_payment_link-line_items-price
If you want to send a link for payment with an ad-hoc price specific to one customer transaction, you should instead use Checkout Sessions, which are one-time use and allow you to declare ad-hoc pricing in the creation request using price_data:

AD hoc ? What does that mean ?

👋 stepping in here
Ad hoc just refers to the dynamic nature that you are talking about.
Meaning a different price for each customer
Overall you should use Checkout as stated above, but you can also just create a new Price each time before creating a new Payment Link and then send that Link... there are no limits on amount of Prices/Products/Payment Links

Correct
It creates the Price inline when you create the Checkout Session
So just 1 API call instead of 2
