Hey, that's not really how you'd use a Payment Link. What exactly are you trying to do?

turbid star Apr 7, 2022, 10:37 AM

#

In the website, we are showing the subscription status and if for some reason it is past due, we would like the user to navigate to the payment page and pay their dues

celest hill Apr 7, 2022, 10:39 AM

#

Got it. You pay/renew existing subscription invoices with a Payment Link – that will jsut start a new subscription

turbid star Apr 7, 2022, 10:39 AM

#

We would like to show the payment route in the webpage so that the customer doesnt have to scramble and check their invoice emails

#

the payment link in invoice does that but we are looking for a straightforward apporach on the webpage

What you likely want to do is implement the Customer Portal: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/integrating-customer-portal

Integrate the customer portal

Learn how to integrate the customer portal.

#

There they can pay overdue invoices

#

ohhh like open the invoice from customer portal and do the payment ?

#

"Hey your subscription is currently inactive ! you can pay for the subscription using this link!"

#

where the link is the subscription renewal payment link

#

is that possible today ?

celest hill Apr 7, 2022, 10:45 AM

#

Yep! You can integrate that

turbid star Apr 7, 2022, 10:46 AM

#

#

so, the customer has to open the unpaid invoice and then pay right ?

#

from customer portal

celest hill Apr 7, 2022, 10:51 AM

#

You'd create a Customer Portal link using the cus_xxx ID, and from there they can manage their subscriptions and invoices, including paying any overdue invoices

turbid star Apr 7, 2022, 10:51 AM

#

in the customer portal, against the subscription i can only see update/cancel plan option

#

Where are you looking?

turbid star Apr 7, 2022, 10:54 AM

#

celest hill Apr 7, 2022, 10:56 AM

#

You can scroll down to Invoice History

#

They can open the Hosted Invoice Page from there and pay any open/overdue

turbid star Apr 7, 2022, 10:57 AM

#

aaahhhh thats what i was asking earlier 😄

#

that payment link can only be seen from an invoice right ?

#

its not possible to get that link and show it up somewhere in my webpage

celest hill Apr 7, 2022, 11:01 AM

#

Ah, I misunderstood. I assumed you meant our Payment Links product: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-links/overview
