Got it, you can use the price_data parameter to create ad-hoc prices: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items-price_data

If you didn't have a prod_xxx ID you'd use product_data: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items-price_data

i wanted dynamic pricing

#

which can't be done in a product ig

#

Yep, but you can use price_data and product_data parameters to create the dynamic pricing/donation system you need

#

So you'd have some form/UI on your page where users can input/select their amount, then you pass those values to the parameters when creating the Session
