Stripe Payment Links with Customer Id

Question

I am currently building an application where we want to user Stripe Payment links rather then building our own version of UI to support the same functionality. However I notice that Stripe Payment Links create a new customer every single time. Is there a way to attach my customer id to the payment link so that a new customer is not created when they attempt to buy more then one product? I would prefer not to have to have a single user have multiple customer ids inside of my database.

Thanks!

Payment Links are not specific to a Customer record. The documentation does include examples of how you might append data to them to aid in reconciling payments to a specific individual.

If you want to make use of the Stripe hosted UI while still assigning specific Customer records then I would recommend making use of Stripe Checkout.
