Payment links from HubDB products

AnnaEriksson — Thu, 29 Feb 2024 09:08:10 GMT

Hi,

I have recently learned about Payment links and I am exploring our options. Does anybody have experience of products hosted in the HubDB rather than under Products? How would one create Payment Links, in that case?

Thankful for any insights.

Hey @AnnaEriksson thank you for posting in our Community!

I would recommend starting by structuring your product information within HubDB. This involves creating tables or databases where you can store product details such as name, price, description, and any other relevant information.

To our top experts, @Jigar_Thakker, @Jnix284 any recommendations for @AnnaEriksson matter?

Thank you,

Pam

@AnnaEriksson if you already have your products in HubDB and want to associate a payment link with those products specifically, you could add a column to the table for payment link, which you would need to generate individually for your products.

Another option would be to create a column that groups your products, then have a separate hubDB table for payment links where you associate those groups to a link.

Realistically though...if you have the opportunity to migrate your products from HubDB to Products, you'll have a lot more flexibility for how you manage products natively.

My assumption is you were using HubDB before Products as a tool was available, if that's the case, it would help to know how interconnected everything is with HubDB before pursuing a data migration.

Thank you for your comprehensive reply, you are correct we started utilizing the HubDB before the Product object was available.
