For invoices sent when payments fail or are paid by other means, it's best to turn off these options as they will only result in a one-time payment for that specific invoice. Using a card instead allows it to be used for future payments through Stora.
How to disable Link payments
Link is a wallet pay type of transaction which can get in the way of automating future payments. If you are moving customers into Stora, particularly if you wanting to ask your customers to pay via automated card payments going forward, it's best to disable this option.
Navigate to Settings > Payments > Payment Methods
Click into your default configuration and billing configuration separately.
Click on link, and then Disable. (You may also wish to disable Klarna as an option).
Create a separate configuration if preferred by following the steps below:
1. Access Payment Method Configurations
Log in to your Stripe Dashboard.
Click the Settings icon (gear) in the upper-right corner.
Under Payments, select Payment methods.
2. Create a New Payment Method Configuration
Click the three-dot menu in the toolbar.
Select Create a configuration.
Name the configuration appropriately (e.g., "Invoice Payments - Card Only").
Save the configuration.
3. Customise Payment Methods for the Configuration
In the new configuration, enable only the payment methods you want to allow for invoices (e.g., Cards).
Disable options like Direct Debit and Link to prevent their use on invoice payment pages.
4. Apply the Configuration to Invoices
Click the Settings icon (gear) in the upper-right corner.
Under Billing, select Invoices.
5. Navigate to the Default payment methods option
Select the newly configured option for your invoices.
By following these steps, you ensure that only cards are accepted on invoice payment pages, allowing customers to save their card information for future recurring payments through Stora.
