Using PayPal/Stripe's Payment Links

[Joshua Farrell]

The Payment Processors, PayPal and Stripe, have the ability to create direct payment links with descriptions to pay for things. Depending on the account level at PayPal, it gives more freedom on how to create it, along with Stripe having all the functions to create different payment links with upgrades within the links, available to do so if integrated correctly.

I am thinking of creating pay now links, and perhaps a shop hosted by Stripe, where all of my services are available by a link, and then can be sorted by the person when they want to purchase something. Sorta like having a market website, but hosted directly in the payment provider.

Have any of you actively used the create products provided by paypal or stripe, and used it as a easy reference for who paid for what in your transactions log?

I don't use Paypal anymore. Reason I say this, because I was scammed.

Doesn't sound like a fun experience that happened. Then again, I've had an issue myself early on into my own account. Host that had funky billing timings, that eventually went under, due to the owners stringent policies on hosting, and having security setup to block people based on impression count, and eventually banned me for months at a time, just because I just happen to be using pageviews to create a forum.

You've got to make use of business type account on Paypal when sending payments that you are not hundred percent sure of. This doesn't mean that PayPal doesn't mess up sometimes with funny actions.

Like I said, I don't use Paypal anymore. I was a consumer, not business.
