Payment Links - Optional Line Items

I’m creating a Payment Link that includes three line items, all of which are optional (allowing users to choose their desired membership). However, when I try to save the link, it’s showing a $0.50 minimum. How can I save it as I have it set up without having to add a fourth line item for just $0.50?

Hey @anna_hess,

Welcome to the Community!

There’s a bit more context on how optional products and minimums work together here: Create and share a payment link.

It may also be worth adding your voice to this idea, where others have flagged the same optional-item and minimum-quantity gap: Optional Line Item or 0 Quantity in Payment Link Pages.

In the meantime, let me tag in a few of our Top Contributors to see if they’ve found a clean way around this:

Hey @rebeccatravels, @evaldas, @MBuining – do you have any suggestions for @anna_hess on this?

Thanks in advance!

@anna_hess If I’m understanding correctly, a payment link form should work for this feature!*

1.) Create one payment link per membership.

2.) Create a form, and include a required payment link field

3.) Add the payment links as dropdowns, set the labels to clarify membership type.

Essentially, the form will then redirect the user to the proper link when you ‘continue to payment’

Just be intentional when planning automations - remembering that these are truly two seperate conversion points.

Overall, it’s worked well for us to at least satisfy the need of selecting the proper membership and amount, then paying.

(*The $0.50 is, unfortunately the line item minimum. Believe that Stripe sets this as the processor. Have had this challenge before too. )
