Very serendipitous timing as am looking to implement for a customer. I have one major issue though - I need to be able to show and charge VAT (Sales Tax) on the subscription. Cannot find where/how to do this with Payment Links without needing to be able to code (which I can't). Can this be done?
Hey Jannetje! VAT isn't currently supported on Payment Links, but it's something we'd love to add soon. I don't have any timelines to share, but the best way to know when this is available is to follow @StripeDev on Twitter for announcements.
Does anyone know how to get the Check out session ID in stripe now adays? The user interface is supper different now and i cant figure out how to find that info (link and authentication code). Thank you! Otherwise very helpful video!
This is a great training. Thank you creating it. For the recurring payments, customers need they ability to update or cancel subscription. I understand that stripe has a customer portal, but the set up doesn’t seem as easy as the payment link by far. Are there any recommendations to better handle the customer experience for the recurring payments initiated by the stripe payment link?
Hey @Driven Spice! There isn't an official no-code way to share a customer portal link with customers today. The customer portal links are short lived. One way to do this might be to have a workflow that makes the API call to create the customer portal session, then send that link to the customer's email address. The big limitation here is we haven't talked about authentication, so you'd need a way to make sure the customer is who they say they are when requesting the link.
@@cjav_dev Hi CJ. I am in the process of integrating Stripe's payment links to my app. I was wondering if I could suggest a minor interface design change for the payment links checkout page that would help users convert more than they would with the current interface. The Payment Links checkout pages (PLCPs) are straightforward and user friendly for customers. They contain pertinent fields to collect customer payment info and relevant product information. However, there is one key customer facing design flaw involving products with variable quantities, that if changed, would improve the experience for buyers and result in higher sales per transaction. The quantity selection on a PLCP page needs to be more explicit and pronounced. The web version "Qty __" is descriptively and actionably inadequate, and very small, to the point where customers may assume there is no quantity selection possible. Also, on the mobile version's PLCP, the quantity selection is hidden up in the top right header under a "Details" labeled drop down where customers would not expect to select a quantity for the product. Rather than oversimply "Qty __", perhaps "Select Quantity ___" would be more clear and actionable for users and products that come in variable quantities. For the mobile version, including "Select Quantity ___" on the main PLCP, rather than from a "Details" drop down in the header, would be more effective as well. These suggestions are only for products with variable quantities. I appreciate your feedback!
Stripe seems totally lacking when it comes to mobile app payments. Everything requires a server in the middle. How can a stand alone mobile app make payments and get notified so it can update without a middle server? Does stripe offer a middle server option for mobile apps. I have not seen it if there is one.
Thanks Joel! I added it as a stand alone script in the base I share in the description (airtable.com/shrJ1nzfaRWVQsRf7 ) you can copy paste that into an automation step! Let me know if you have any trouble/questions!
Hey?...i have different prices on my website and to be added to cart so the customer can click multiple services cause it's a spa website and I want them to pay through stripe account
Hi Cat! Great question! You can do that in a few ways: 1/ you can change the output of the script to also include the text you'd like to send in the email (e.g. if product = product 1, email = "text for email 1") and then use that in the following email step. 2/ You can create a formula field that outputs different text and use that in the email (select the the field in the email step). Hope that helps!
Hey Joseph! newlines are not supported. To use bullets, I'd recommend copying the bullet symbol from a tool like this one: www.piliapp.com/symbol/bullet-point/ or using an emoji.
Hi Johnnys, a unique payment can only be created for one product. You would need to create a separate payment link for each product! In the latter part of the stream, we parse out the webhook to identify which product was purchased!
Hey Chillex, you can't change the price on a payment link (it would change the price for everyone visiting that link) so in that case you should create multiple payment links
Hi Anita! Great question, when you create a payment link, it'll generate a URL (a link you can put in a browser). You can copy paste that link into an email. Let me know if that helps!
very interesting mix of complexity (Aron) and simplicity (Josh). I have learned a lot!
Woo! Glad you enjoyed the stream :)
💜 Awesome info! Thank you for the assistance. I will let others know about this video if they get stuck and need help.
Appreciate that! have a great day!

Hey Demmy, sorry completely missed your comment. In that case, you'll probably want to create a payment link for each of your products/services.
Thanks, Aron. Great video. I have a question. How can we create a different email template for a different product?

How can you create spaces and bullet point in Stripe payment links description?
Hey Joseph! I'm not sure about this let me ask the team!
Hey Joseph! newlines are not supported. To use bullets, I'd recommend copying the bullet symbol from a tool like this one: www.piliapp.com/symbol/bullet-point/ or using an emoji.
great video, one quick question, Im trying to create a "payment link" with multiple products, but I dont see anything online, not even with coding.
Hi Johnnys, a unique payment can only be created for one product. You would need to create a separate payment link for each product! In the latter part of the stream, we parse out the webhook to identify which product was purchased!
@@AutomateAlltheThings awesome, thanks
What if i have to collect different amount different times (as cost varies), is it advisable to edit existing link or create new link for new payment?
Hey Chillex, you can't change the price on a payment link (it would change the price for everyone visiting that link) so in that case you should create multiple payment links
How do I transfer my Stripe link onto an e-mail?
Hi Anita! Great question, when you create a payment link, it'll generate a URL (a link you can put in a browser). You can copy paste that link into an email. Let me know if that helps!
