BoomFi paylink

BoomFi will automatically generate a new paylink, and this will also be automatically added as metadata to the price's details. This paylink will also be added to any invoice related to the product.

Step 3: Create a subscription for a customer

With your new product and a BoomFi paylink available, you can now subscribe a customer to this product. To perform this, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Customers, and select the customer you wish to add a subscription to.
2. Select the Create subscription option in the dropdown menu.

3. Configure the subscription and add the product to it.
4. Under Subscription settings, you are required to turn off auto charge and Invoice payment page options.
