1. Sign-Up and Payment Details
When customers sign up for a subscription, they will be asked to enter their payment details. Stripe securely stores this information to handle recurring payments. This ensures that their subscription is automatically billed without needing to re-enter payment information each time.
2. Optional Link Feature
During the sign-up process, customers may be offered the option to save their payment details with Link, a service built by Stripe. If they choose to save their details with Link, it will speed up future checkouts on other websites that also use Stripe. However, using Link is entirely optional, and they are not required to use it to complete their subscription.
3. Payment Details and Link Accounts
Payment details are saved for the subscription; they are not automatically saved in a Link account. Customers can simply skip or dismiss the Link prompt without affecting their subscription. Their subscription will continue as expected, and Stripe will securely manage all billing in the background.
4. No Impact on Subscription if Link is Skipped
If customers prefer not to use Link, they can skip or dismiss the prompt during sign-up. Their subscription will still proceed normally, and Stripe will manage the billing securely.
