Payment links

A payment link is a URL you can put anywhere: a post, a DM, an email footer, a button in your product. It opens the same hosted page a checkout session does, and every payment through it arrives attached to a customer.

A payment link with its share URL beside the hosted page it opens, showing the amount, an email field and the pay button. — The link is the page. There is nothing to deploy

Creating a link

curl -X POST "https://api.reclack.com/v1/payment-links" \
  -H "Api-Key: $RECLACK_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Premium Research Access",
    "type": "fixed",
    "price_id": "price_7Fh2PqX9",
    "collect_email": true,
    "after_completion": "message",
    "confirmation_message": "Thanks. Your access is live."
  }'

Two shapes

Fixed price
Payer chooses

You set the amount. The payer sees it and pays it.

{
  "name": "Premium Research Access",
  "type": "fixed",
  "price_id": "price_7Fh2PqX9"
}

The payer names the figure, inside a range you set. Useful for tips, top-ups and donations.

{
  "name": "Support the project",
  "type": "custom_amount",
  "min_amount": "5.00",
  "max_amount": "500.00",
  "preset_amount": "25.00",
  "network": "base"
}

A link can also sell a recurring price. Share it once and it turns into a standing plan, with the same approval and collection behaviour as any other subscription.

What to collect

Nothing is collected by default. Turn on only what you need.

Field	Effect
`collect_email`	Asks for an email. Useful for receipts your customer will look for later.
`collect_name`	Asks for a name. Shown on the receipt.
`collect_phone`, `collect_address`	Asks for those. Leave off unless you have a reason.
`max_payments`	Stops accepting payments after this many.

Even a link that asks for nothing still records the customer, matched on the wallet that paid.

After the payment

{
  "after_completion": "redirect",
  "redirect_url": "https://acme.dev/thanks"
}

`after_completion`	What happens
`message`	Reclack shows its confirmation page, with your `confirmation_message`.
`redirect`	The payer is sent to your `redirect_url`.

Closing a link

Deactivate rather than delete. Closing a link keeps every payment it has ever taken, and your reporting for last quarter should not depend on a link you still have live.

curl -X PATCH "https://api.reclack.com/v1/payment-links/plink_8Qd3ZkR2" \
  -H "Api-Key: $RECLACK_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "status": "inactive" }'
