After the Payment Links payment

After your customer makes a payment using a payment link, you can see it in the payments overview in the Dashboard.

If you’re new to Stripe, you receive an email after your first payment. To receive emails for all successful payments, update your notification preferences in your profile settings.

Stripe creates a new guest customer for one-time payments and a new Customer when selling a subscription or saving a payment method for future use.

Automation with a Stripe partner

To automate post-purchase activities like order fulfillment, emailing customers, and recording data to a spreadsheet, you can use a Stripe partner, like Zapier, to connect Stripe data to other applications.

Handle fulfillment programmatically Code required

If you’re interested in handling fulfillment programmatically using the Stripe API and webhooks, learn how to fulfill orders after a customer pays.

After a successful payment, your customer sees a localized confirmation message thanking them for their purchase. You can customize the confirmation message or redirect to a URL of your choice. To change the confirmation behavior on a payment link, click the Confirmation page tab when creating or updating a payment link.

If you redirect your customers to your own confirmation page, you can include {CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID} in the redirect URL to dynamically pass the customer’s current Checkout Session ID. This is helpful if you want to tailor the success message on your website based on the information in the Checkout Session.

You can also add UTM codes as parameters in the query string of the payment link URL. The UTM codes are automatically added to your redirect URL when your customer completes a payment.

With Stripe Connect, you can split a payment with a connected account. When creating a new payment link, on the After payment tab, select the checkbox that says Split the payment with a connected account. Selecting this checkbox allows a connected account to automatically get paid when a customer buys the product through this payment link. Learn how to use payment links with connected accounts.

Create a link that you can send to customers, letting them log in and manage their subscriptions using the customer portal.

Stripe can automatically send email receipts to your customers after successful payments.

Enable this feature with the email customers for successful payments option in your email receipt settings.

You can customize the color and logo shown on your receipts in the branding settings of your Dashboard.

You can configure Payment Links to send detailed Invoices to your customers for successful one-time payments. Payment Links for subscriptions create invoices automatically, and require no additional configuration.

Enable this feature by selecting the Create an invoice PDF checkbox in the After payment tab when creating a payment link.

You can see metrics such as views, sales, and revenue from a given payment link by clicking the Payments and analytics tab after selecting a payment link from the list view.

You can use this data to better understand how your link is performing and what its conversion rate is.

• Views: The number of times your payment link was opened.
• Sales: The number of times the payment link was used to complete a purchase.
• Revenue: The gross sales volume that the link generated and is always in your default currency regardless of the presentment currency. Stripe converts the amounts using the exchange rate on the day the payment occurs.
