June Stripe Developer Digest

Faster checkout with Link

Link is a payment method that allows your customers to save payment details in checkout at any Link-enabled site across the Stripe network. Link is directly integrated into existing Stripe Payments UIsits available in Checkout with no additional code and matches your customized UI in Stripe Elements.

Read our developer article on getting started with Link, and watch the developer office hours on YouTube.

Stay updated

Affirm: US-based companies can now accept payments with Affirm, a popular buy now, pay later payment method. Affirm is supported on the Payment Intents API, Checkout, Payment Element, Payment Links, Connect, and mobile SDKs. For more information, read the developer docs.

Metadata on subscription schedules: Schedule phases may be used to set metadata on a subscription. Developers control the metadata on a subscription through phases. As the subscription phases change, the metadata will be updated on the underlying subscription.

ACH subscriptions: Using the new ACH payment method on Payment Intents, you can now use Checkout and Payment Links to create subscriptions paid by debiting US bank accounts.

Payment Links updates

• Promotion codes: Apply a promo code to a payment link via URL parameters. Expired or invalid promo codes are automatically ignored if included in the URL. Learn how to enable promo codes on Payment Links.

• UTM codes support: UTM codes now work in Payment Links, so developers can analyze how customers discover your store when they pay through your payment link URL.
