I believe I patented this in 2016: https://patents.justia.com/patent/10664883

And you're posting it here because...why? If you think there's a legal issue, this, obviously, isn't the forum. If you want to tell people "I had this idea first!" this also isn't the forum; you're either wrong, or are pointing to the wrong thing (patents aren't particular readable or understandable); show us the thing you made.

> If you want to tell people "I had this idea first!" this also isn't the forum

This is a good forum for it since it is for showing new products.

If this violates a patent, I definitely want to know.

If it doesn't, then there will be no problem, right?

(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…

Congratulations on another cool product! I happened to build something to scratch the same itch a couple of weeks back, using Stripe Checkout, iOS Shortcuts, and serverless functions: https://baildon.co/writings/contactless-pos

Thank you so much! Can't wait to hear your feedback about Payment Links.

This is great. I've just implemented it to replace the clunky mess I had in place while waiting for this type of product from Stripe. Thank you!

Thrilled to hear it, and can't wait to hear your feedback!

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.

Totally! We couldn't agree with you more.

Is there a way to automate emailing the user an ebook or any other digital good?

Yes! We've built a Zapier integration that'll help you do just that. Drop me a note at jackerman@stripe.com and happy to share further details with you.

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?

Each product gets its own Payment Link. Jump into the Stripe Dashboard and give it a try today: https://dashboard.stripe.com/payment-links

Here's a quick video walkthrough as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypH78KUu4Jk

Awesome feature.

The first thing that comes to mind for me is fraud. Most obviously, what guarantees are in place that when I go to one of these links, that the seller company is who they say they are? I assume Stripe audits their customers and, for example, reviews the seller logo that's displayed to make sure it isn't misleading. But also, does Stripe give the seller any analytics about who (or how often) people are going to their sales link, even if they don't make a purchase? thanks :)
