(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…

Payments aside, will you release/open source your colour accessibility tool? Any chance?

This looks great! Will it be possible to create a link on a backend application and have all the frontend handled by Stripe?

We're excited to build an API for Payment Links soon. Drop me a note at jackerman@stripe.com and happy to add you to the early access beta when we launch!

The significance of this is that now it is officially rubber-stamped by Stripe to just have a payment form on a website with shallow content (ie. no products or services). Send a link to get paid even if your product isn't launched yet, is what this is all about.

The danger of this is that the rubber-stamp of Stripe may turn to a stamp to avoid if this becomes infamous for shady transactions

We used this link model in Brazil (custom made) for a client that has a B2B2C platform where vendors (shop owners for a specific industry) use the client's platform as an endless aisle option. We had a challenge for the payment side because: - the payment needed to be to our client and not the vendor (to avoid double taxation); - integrating to the POS machines of more than 100K vendors was unfeasible; - The client w…

How is the link generated? So basically it is a deep link into the clients checkout page? Each product gets its own link? do u have a demo somewhere?

This is a great idea! It's best to let buyers simply buy and move on with their lives. This seems to do that. Don't make them do anything when they already want to say yes.

I 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.

We're excited to build donations support via Stripe Payment Links. Drop me a note at jackerman@stripe.com and I'll let you know as soon as it is live.

I got scammed on a page like this recently through paypal. The page showed up on google shopping. It had the right picture and text. They mailed me one sock instead of the ~$100 item i wanted. luckily paypal refunded me but this was not a great experience

Not related to payment links... but I would love to see Stripe take on handling in app purchases. (basically a webhook and management layer over the terrible native APIs) Companies like RevenueCat are halfway there but have nowhere as nice of an API or dashboard as Stripe. I run a cross platform (web/ios/android) app and would love to do payments all under one platform (Stripe, that is). Apple and Google subscription…

If it's IAP for digital items then you can't use Stripe for IAP on iOS/Android, it has to go through the respective store's IAP logic.

Yes, which is why I am asking for Stripe to do an IAP wrapper as other companies have tried. Apple and Android’s subscription APIs are terrible, essentially what is needed is an abstraction around them to keep user entitlements in sync without having to deal with the native APIs. The IAP is still handled natively, but the receipts and notifications are used to create a consistent experience.

Can you use Stripe in iOS and Android apps? I thought purchases had to go through Apple and Google?

Correct, I mean if Stripe developed a wrapper around the native APIs as other companies have done. Payment is still handled natively but Stripe would provide consistent webhooks without having to deal with Apple’s complex receipt API.
