Payments & products

Linkstacked's monetisation surface routes payments through Stripe Connect — every Linkstacked seller has their own Stripe account, and payouts hit them directly. The API mirrors that boundary: most calls either configure the Connect link or read state that Stripe owns.

Connect a Stripe account

Sellers start by minting a Connect account through Linkstacked:

mutation StripeConnect {
  createStripeConnectAccount {
    onboardingUrl
    accountId
  }
}

The returned onboardingUrl is a short-lived Stripe-hosted onboarding link. Redirect your user there; Stripe redirects them back to your domain when complete.

Read the live status with stripeConnectStatus { chargesEnabled payoutsEnabled detailsSubmitted requirements } so your dashboard can show actionable next steps if Stripe still wants more info.

Generate a dashboard link

Sellers manage their own Stripe dashboard for tax forms, payouts, and disputes. stripeConnectDashboardLink mints a one-time URL into their Stripe-hosted express dashboard:

POSTstripeConnectDashboardLink

Returns a short-lived URL that redirects directly into the seller's Stripe Express dashboard.

Digital products

A digital product on Linkstacked is a sellable file (or bundle) attached to a profile. The API surface mirrors the dashboard composer:

mutation CreateProduct($input: DigitalProductCreateInput!) {
  createDigitalProduct(input: $input) {
    product { _id title price currency status downloadAssetId }
  }
}

updateDigitalProduct, toggleDigitalProductPublished, and deleteDigitalProduct round out the surface.

Download URLs are ephemeral

Buyers receive a signed download URL via the getProductDownloadUrl(productId) query. URLs expire in 5 minutes, so always re-mint at click time — never persist them in your database.

Read sales activity

emailCollectionStats and the analytics surface (see Analytics) return order counts and revenue alongside the rest of the public events. The Stripe-side ledger remains the source of truth for accounting — Linkstacked never pretends to be a tax engine.
