I need a static payment link which is sent to thousands of customers to redirect to different urls based on the user id.

Ex.:

User 42 will be redirected to https://myurl/?id=42 after payment
User 57 will be redirected to https://myurl/?id=57 after payment and so on

I know that i can create dynamic payment links programatically, but this is an issue for me, we have a team which go through the payment links to send the orders

[frank gorge]

As I have a big user base, it would generate thousands of payment links

This isn't supported by Stripe. I'd recommend managing this by your own using Checkout Session (one-time hosted page): https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/build-integration

Each customer will have its own hosted payment page to complete the payment.

[frank gorge]

I've tried that approach and got 2 issues:

1. I have to get the address data to confirm the user has requested the item
2. I have cases in which the customer will get a 100% discount, and apparently the checkout session doesn't support it

[flat rose]

Payment Link uses Checkout Session under the hood. Does your current Payment Link support 100% discount while Checkout Session doesn't?

I have to get the address data to confirm the user has requested the item
I'm not too sure what you meant by this. How is it related to Stripe's integration?

[frank gorge]

@flat rose take a look here:
https://buy.stripe.com/8x214n1A8eHwdHtfwjfbq04

in the payment link I'm able to get the address during the payment

With a checkout session, I'd have to provide the address before, instead of asking the user input

This link i showed you also works with 100% discount

You can collect the address on Checkout Session by setting shipping_address_collection to the countries you wish to accept: https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create?api-version=2025-09-30.clover&rds=1#create_checkout_session-shipping_address_collection-allowed_countries

Do you have a promo code with 100% off promo code for me to try?

[frank gorge]

NEWSCOPE

please insert "test" in one of the fields

[frank gorge]

That's a good reference. Thank you

[flat rose]

In my own testing! I can apply 100% off discount in Checkout Session and complete the order. Are you facing any challenge?

[frank gorge]

Do you have any code reference for that?

I tried creating a payment checkout session programatically, but would always get an error when used the coupon code, because the total value could not be $0

[frank gorge]

Question: is this specific to that api version? The one I current use is older

[flat rose]

Could you share the Checkout Session ID (cs_123) that doesn't work, so that I can take a look?

[frank gorge]

Oh, I don't have them atm, since I was working on that a few weeks ago

I'll generate a new one

[frank gorge]

Working on it

[valid cobalt]

Hi taking over here

No cost orders wasn't added until api version https://docs.stripe.com/upgrades#2023-08-16

So if you're on a version older than that, then that's why

[frank gorge]

Yes, mine's older than that

[valid cobalt]

Yeah that'd do it then

You'd just need to switch to a newer version to take advantage of this functionality

[frank gorge]

Thank you, let me try that

@valid cobalt would there be a problem if I used the newer version in one service without changing others?

[valid cobalt]

I don't know enough about your integration to say

You can also use a different api version on a per-request basis

So you could just do it for the create checkout session call and that's it if you like

[frank gorge]

and for the other parts i could use the current version?

[valid cobalt]

yeah

What sdk are you using?

Which language

[frank gorge]

JS

[valid cobalt]

Gotcha yeah you could initialize a separate client passing in a newer api version just for the checkout session request: https://docs.stripe.com/api/versioning?lang=node

And leave the rest of your integration the same
