Does this support limited inventory? e.g. I want to sell only one item for a certain SKU. If two people have the link, only the first person to purchase should succeed, while the 2nd person should get a "This item is no longer available" message instead of being charged.

#82Hey pc! Fellow startup founder here - we're creating a decentralized metaverse platform in WebGL, and I'm thinking this would be perfect as a easy-to-use payment system for creators and indie game devs to take payments in our ecosystem.

For context, in the Netherlands (where Mollie was founded) sending payment requests by text took off when one bank set up a service geared for consumers that provided this (Tikkie [1]). Mobile payments were common place before this, so customers were already used to this. Taking this to the next level, by having businesses use this is a great and logical step.

Implemented a small app this, such a clean API. Love it and hope it goes pan-European. Although I think it may be the Dutch money culture that got it to blow up so bi, ha!
I'm curious, what is the "Dutch money culture"? I haven't used paper money in ages, is that specifically Dutch or are you hinting at something else?

#85(Stripe cofounder.) While there are lots of antecedents (this is, after all, just a checkout page with a URL), and even though this was substantially inspired by the growth of the no-code ecosystem[0], the thing that's interesting to me about the payment link "space" is that it's a use case that really took off in other markets first -- Nigeria, India, Philippines, etc. I suspect that staying abreast of important new…
I suppose the danger to this is minimized but will stripe always require an affirmative action confirming the transaction on the destination link? I can see some issues related to link unfurling and pre-fetching activating the link before the user intends to interact with it along with malicious sites that inject JS to automatically follow the link.
I'm curious if you have analytics collection on the first use case since it seems like a pretty risky privacy violation in terms of user tracking but honestly not far beyond shenanigans that bigger players pull (Facebook/Amazon).
But I'm really curious about the second use case - the no code approach is really nice and flexible for sending payment requests over alternative media (i.e. discord) but it feels like this might open the door a bit more to phishing users via redirection - do you happen to have any security ruminations on that topic that you've made public or be willing to share?

Slightly tangential, but when you localize a product for India, do not automatically translate it to Hindi. Only 38% people of India has Hindi as their mother-tongue. There is strong anti-Hindi-imposition sentiment in many places of India. Just because someone's geolocation is set to India, don't automatically translate it to Hindi. It irks many.
What would the compromise be?
English is actually the neutral compromise language in India.

A bit of a non sequitur, but have you further pursued the investment/initial funding you made in Stellar some time ago? The cryptocurrency markets are of course highly inflated at the moment, but long-term, do you still see promise in the concept of "email for payments?" (This is how Stellar brands their technology.)
I would be super interested to know if there are any blockchain projects or related corollaries that Stripe is working on.

Re: Stripe Payment Links
#89I wish there was a "donation links" feature similar to this, that supported recurring donations. There are a lot of companies like DonorBox that offer this but shave a decent percentage off the top of every donation which is hard on non-profits.
PayPal has a donation link feature, but PayPal stinks in every possible other way.

#901.4% doesn’t sound too bad. I believe chip and pin point of sale is .65% to .85%. What are MasterCard / Visa’s rates for online sales?
