Hi there 👋 is it possible to know the amount before creating the Payment Link, that's going to be the smooth option here? There isn't a good flow to update the amount these hosted surfaces charge programmatically.
It's not possible to preserve the URL that is used from one Payment Link to the next.

Hey! Thanks for the response.
Sorry I should've been more clear! For the majority of cases, we calculate the price once when we create the link and send it to our customer. Everything is working fine in that flow. There is just an edge case where we have to recalculate the price and I was hoping for a way to update the original payment link with a new price.
It didn't seem possible in the way that we have it set up (creating ad-hoc products/prices upon payment link creation) and I was wondering if there's a suggested way to do this (e.g. create a product + price object for each payment link, update the price object when needed, etc.)

You can't build a flow to do this. The closest you can get is creating a new Payment Link to provide to your customer.

Gotcha. Thank you for looking into it, your insight here is much appreciated!
