so the reason you're getting the error is because you're trying to pass a discounts property to the Create Payment Link API, which doesn't support this
you can see that discounts isn't mentioned as a supported property here: https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment-link/create
it's important to understand the distinction between creating a Payment Link vs creating a Checkout Session
because, the Create Checkout Session API does support setting a discounts array directly:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-discounts
the Payment Links API is used to create reusable links to share with multiple customers, while the Checkout Session API is used to create a single-use session, which is why they're different here
if you want to share a Payment Link with a customer, and pre-fill a coupon/discount, you can use a prefilled_promo_code URL parameter when sharing the URL with the customer: https://docs.stripe.com/payment-links/customize#customize-checkout-with-url-parameters
otherwise, if you want to create a single-use payment page, then the Checkout Sessions API might be more suitable
