Rather than storing each code in a database and validating authenticity by checking against the database, our system is able to validate codes without needing to make requests to third-party services (e.g. Stripe). This is particularly important if you're expecting a significant number of visitors in a short space of time (e.g. for a paid live stream) as it removes the risk of overwhelming the database.
Instead, codes are generated by joining together the user's credentials, the identifier for the Link, and an additional 'salt', and encrypting the combined value. This combination ensures that the code is secure, as well as being unique to each Link that you create.
When a user makes a purchase, their unique code for the Link is additionally stored in your connected Stripe account against the Payment Intent as a metadata attribute called 'code'.
You can customise your Action Links by including parameters in the URL. To use parameters, include a question mark (?) at the end of the URL followed by your parameters in the format given below. Each parameter should be separated by an ampersand (&).
The following parameters are supported for this Action:
email=name@address.com
Pre-populates the email field in both the unlock and purchase forms
Code
code=ABC123
Pre-populates the code field
