Hi there! Payment Links are really designed for a one to many approach. Stripe Checkout is more for the one-to-one relationship.

#

That said, you can still use Payment Links here if you like

#

And we just did add some customization, one sec.

#

Ok, thank you for taking the time to reply as well

#

I really appreciate it

#

#

Here is an example of my problem

autumn moth May 5, 2022, 5:20 PM

#

Okay so we just recently introduced client_reference_id which I think is what you want here

heady marsh May 5, 2022, 5:20 PM

#

I have three separate orders, sometimes different names, but they all use the same phone and mail which I can theoretically collect from a payment link through a webhook

#

A unique string to reference the Checkout Session. This can be a customer ID, a cart ID, or similar, and can be used to reconcile the Session with your internal systems.

#

Oooh ok interesting

#

Is this then used together with payment links or is it unrelated?

#

I can see that in the response there's an url with checkout instead of buy

#

Oh wait I think I get it

#

So if I'm understanding it right, I first call the stripe api with Session.create which will then give me the response with the id and payment_intent which seem to be identifiers

#

Then I just need to store that and send over the url for the customer to pay?

#

Sorry, bouncing between a few threads

heady marsh May 5, 2022, 5:26 PM

#

It's alright

autumn moth May 5, 2022, 5:26 PM

#

Nope! Not quite

#

You still use a Payment Link here

heady marsh May 5, 2022, 5:26 PM

#

Oooh ok

autumn moth May 5, 2022, 5:27 PM

#

So you generate the link

#

Then you append the client_reference_id

#

Like https://buy.stripe.com/xxxxxxxx?client_reference_id=my_customer_123

heady marsh May 5, 2022, 5:27 PM

#

e

#

Wait wait wait

#

"url": "https://checkout.stripe.com/pay/..."

#

Is there an example in the docs of what the ... would generate to?

#

/Does it generate without arguments

autumn moth May 5, 2022, 5:28 PM

#

Are you using Stripe Checkout? or are you using Payment Links?

heady marsh May 5, 2022, 5:28 PM

#

I'm looking at the docs for the client_reference_id which you sent

#

#

Where I see that the response gives anurl

lost sand May 5, 2022, 5:29 PM

#

that's a screenshot of our doc though

#

What's blocking you?

#

is it about accessing the url property?

heady marsh May 5, 2022, 5:29 PM

#

autumn moth Like `https://buy.stripe.com/xxxxxxxx?client_reference_id=my_customer_123`

It's about the parameters in here

#

/xxxxxxxx?client_reference_id=my_customer_123

lost sand May 5, 2022, 5:29 PM

#

what those parameters?

#

Sorry can you be a bit more specific?

heady marsh May 5, 2022, 5:30 PM

#

Yes, I apologize

#

all good, just try to write one full question in one entire message

heady marsh May 5, 2022, 5:33 PM

#

Objective: Create a link as a way for a customer to pay, store the unique identifier of that specific link in a database in a way where I can then later perform an action on the user related to the unique identifier once I have received a charge complete from a webhook

Problems: How can this be done? I'm looking at the docs for client_reference_id that bismarck mentioned and I can see that I can create a checkout session (which I am still not entirely sure is the same thing as a payment link) which returns a bunch of unique looking identifiers like payment_intent and id. Which of these two would be returned to the webhook once the charge is complete through the url that gets returned?

#

So from my understanding:
Use stripe.checkout.Session.create to create the checkout session / payment link -> Store the returned id/payment_intent as a unique identifier in the database row related to the customer I am trying to create the payment/checkout link for -> Send them the url that is returned in the response and wait for a charge complete from the webhook which will then return the id or payment_intent to then do something?

#

Use stripe.checkout.Session.create to create the checkout session / payment link
Payment Link is a separate product. IF you use stripe.checkout.Session.create then you are not using Payment Links and they are not relevant

#

Send them the url that is returned in the response and wait for a charge complete from the webhook which will then return the id or payment_intent to then do something?
what do you mean by "send them the URL" exactly?

#

Checkout Sessions expire automatically after 24 hours, so you can't just email that URL and wait for them to pay

heady marsh May 5, 2022, 5:37 PM

#

Basically, I am doing a "receive first pay later" service where I need to "get paid" after they received the service

#

So once I have "completed the service", I generate a way to pay through an api like Twilio (SMS/text message)

#

I am aware that they expire automatically after 24 hours, and I can already think of a system that automatically renews it once a certain amount of time has passed to then send again

#

My main issue is identifying based on the person that uses the link I sent, "who paid"

lost sand May 5, 2022, 5:39 PM

#

you know who paid if you create the Checkout Session since you do this for a specific person, so you shouldn't need anything else

heady marsh May 5, 2022, 5:40 PM

#

Ok, I'll give it a try in test mode
