Subscription payments
Guide
The payment page supports two main use cases: subscription payments for recurring transactions like monthly or annual fees, and one-time payments for single, non-recurring purchases.
Subscription
payments are recurring payments, such as monthly or annual fees, whereas one-time payments are for single, non-recurring transactions.
To create a subscription payment link, complete the required steps via API or HUB.
When setting up the subscription, ensure that product_id and product_price_id are set instead of amount and currency, and verify that the product’s price is accurate, as it cannot be changed once the first subscription is created.
Payment Link functionality stores your product price for the fastest page load, so displaying the updated price may take up to 15 minutes.
Share payment link
Upon receiving a payment link URL, share it with your customers to accept payments. You can share a single link multiple times.
It is possible to share your payment link URL in multiple ways:
- Embed it into a button on your website.
- Catch up with your customers if they abandoned baskets before completing a purchase.
- Send via email and more.
After a customer makes a payment via the payment link, you can find it in the Payments > Orders list.
