Is Stripe payment links good option for Saas payments?

I am building a Saas and just implemented payment gateway using Stripe links, not sure if it's the good option, or there may any issues?

Asking if someone using it? please share link if yes.

    Stripe billing might be a good option for SaaS since that it can handle any business model and recurring payment https://stripe.com/fr/billing

    Mostly you would want to keep the users in your app itself. The Stripe documentation is very good in explaining how you can do that.

    Stripe checkout is a good alternative with proper redirects back to your website.

    One point is that you should first ask the users to authenticate and only then redirect them to payments. Users should be able to see their subscription status in some dashboard when they sign in.

    If you don't want to spend much time in integrating authentication and payments, you can take a look at https://rocketapp.me/. It comes with complete UI, authentication, Stripe billing and more!

    For me, I would rather keep my subscription/payment flow in-app however if you're okay redirecting the users to Stripe then sure - go for it.

    One issue with your site is though - I'm not sure what happens when I pay. Do you create an account for me, do you email me account credentials etc? I think you should have more explanation before simply asking people to pay without inputting any other data at all.

    Just my 2c!

    I’ve been using Stripe Checkout for a recent project (not exactly Stripe link but very close). Overall I really like it and it’s significantly simplified getting a checkout up and running.

    The only downside is that there is limited customization/ data collection items. For example if I want to collect phone number as part of checkout it simply is not an option.

    Best of luck to you!
