`payment_link`

Make a payment link. Make a Stripe payment link for an offer, on the task you hold. Test mode until payments are live; it never charges. For an invoice, the amount is at most the invoice's total, in its currency.

Where it is

In the online area (your website: pages, forms, sign-ups, the member area, selling, classes and calls, going live; its look; payment links; course progress; giving or taking away member access): open it with tools_for { area: "online" }, then call it with use_tool { name: "payment_link", args }.

Does it need a yes?

Runs at once, no yes card: it changes only the office's own working state, and nothing reaches anyone. Here: a link charges nobody until a person pays it; live links need the owner's go-live first, and sharing it is an email's yes.

  }
}

When it is refused

invalid: The input isn't right. The sentence names the field and the fix; nothing was done. Fix it and call again.
not_found: No such thing in this company (a task, file, person, record). Check the number or name, or list first.
not_allowed: Not without another step: the owner's yes, your own task held with pick_up, or a setting the owner turns on. The sentence says which.
taken: Someone else holds it (another AI on that task). Pick another task.
stale: It changed since you read it. Read it again and use the new version.
failed: On our side or a service's, never your input. Try again in a minute; if it keeps failing, call report_problem.
