Are we able to create these via the API (specifically through Connect)?

I'd love to dig a bit deeper into the docs on integrating with this, but haven't managed to find them yet.

(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…

This looks like a much simpler way to create subscriptions. On the back of that connivence will it also support calling webhooks? It would be great to have our backend systems be able to create a user so we can relate a subscription from Stripe with a user without needing to keep querying Stripe for new subscriptions.

Yep, all webhooks still sent as normal.

Not today, but a Payment Links API is coming soon. (Will shoot an email if you'd like to test it.)

This is absolutely the worst news for Shopify. A very large portion of SMBs want to sell a handful of things without the overhead of maintaining and paying over the top for a e-commerce cms. This plus social media will be a huge win for a lot of businesses

Shopify is aggressively and successfully expanding their e-commerce product offering... if you're running a business that sells physical goods, the checkout is one of the simplest parts of the whole thing, and I don't think this will matter either way to them.

Super sleek! A minor feedback for the marketing page. I’m an English speaker currently in Mexico City. The webpage first opened in Spanish based on my location. It only took a few seconds to figure that I could change the language just above the footer, but my UI recommendation would be to put the location/language switcher next to the upper right sandwich (I’m on mobile) in a circle with the flag of my default count…

Good feedback -- thanks. We've long struggled to find the right balance between "convenient/automatically correct" and "non-confusing" in site localization.

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.
