Create a payment link

Create a payment link

Creates a Stripe-hosted checkout link for the prices you pass and returns it with its shareable URL.

Note: Up to 20 line_items per link, each a price ID and a quantity.

Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

MCP (official, remote)

Add this server to your agent's MCP settings, then sign in when asked.

{ "mcpServers": { "stripe": { "url": "https://mcp.stripe.com" } } }

Call the MCP tool stripe_api_write with POST /v1/payment_links.

Server URL: https://mcp.stripe.com

CLI (official)

Install the command and sign in with it, then confirm it runs.

npm install -g @stripe/cli
stripe --version

Run stripe payment_links create.

API (official)

• Base URL: https://api.stripe.com
• Endpoint: POST /v1/payment_links
• Auth: send the header Authorization: Bearer $STRIPE_API_KEY
• Get a key: https://dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys
• Docs: https://docs.stripe.com/api

Before anything else, confirm access with the cheapest read-only call, like a list or a search. Never send or change anything to test access.

Rules

• Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data, and say how many records it touches. One approval covers a batch the user has seen.
• Never print API keys.
