Description

Link Pay by Stripe is a proprietary wallet that streamlines checkout by auto-filling payment details across merchant environments. This reduces cart abandonment and improves authorization rates.

With Link, your customers can select saved payment methods—credit cards, debit cards, or US bank accounts—at checkout for a faster, more convenient experience. Saved payment methods are available across any Link-enabled business.

Link also supports Instant Bank Payments, with all transactions confirming immediately. Successful payments settle to your Stripe balance on the same timeline as card payments, regardless of the payment method used.

To manage accounts, view purchase history, or contact customer support, customers can visit link.com.

Note: Link Pay is supported only via Third Party Checkout through Stripe Payment Elements.
