Faster checkout with Link
Link saves and autofills payment and shipping information for your customers so they don’t need to enter payment details manually. Your customers can use different funding sources with Link, including credit cards, debit cards, and US bank accounts. They can visit link.com to make changes to their account, view their purchase history, or reach out to the Link customer support team.
How it works
Customers new to Link can save their payment details and shipping information to enable faster checkout in the future. Here’s how Link authenticates existing customers:
- Link automatically detects if a customer is enrolled by using their email address, phone number, or browser cookie.
- They receive a one-time passcode to authenticate their session.
- After authentication succeeds, Link autofills their card or bank payment details and shipping information, and they pay with one click.
- After a customer enrolls with Link, they can add backup payment methods and change shipping addresses.
The customer experience
Customers can pay with Link using cards via the ‘Card’ tab on your checkout page, and US bank accounts for qualifying purchases via the ‘Bank’ tab on your checkout page. Like cards, qualified Link bank payments receive an instant authorization response and settle to your account in two business days (unlike other bank debit payment methods).
The Link card and bank tabs
To maximize conversion and revenue for your business, Stripe will run tests on eligible customers. For example, tests could include:
- Promotional offers, funded by Stripe
- For a user who prefers paying with a certain card, Stripe might feature that card more prominently in the UX
If you don’t consent to Stripe running these tests, you can opt out of them at any time from your Link settings page.
Card and bank payments have different dispute processes. Learn more about card disputes and bank payment disputes. You are responsible for customer-initiated disputes.
