You can limit how many times a Payment Link can be successfully paid. This is useful when inventory is limited, capacity is capped, or you want a payment link to be used only once. When the Payment Link reaches the configured payment limit, it is automatically deactivated and customers can no longer use it to complete a purchase. If a customer opens the link after the limit has been reached, they will see the default message for deactivated links.Documentation Index

When to use it
This feature is especially useful for:- Limited-inventory products where only a fixed number of purchases should succeed.
- Events, tickets, appointments, or access slots with capped capacity.
- One-time or customer-specific payment links that should only be used once.
- Small launches or campaigns where collection should stop automatically after a target number of successful payments.
How it works
- The merchant creates or edits a Payment Link in the StablePay Portal.
- The merchant sets a maximum successful payment count for the link.
- Customers continue to pay through the link as usual.
- Each successful payment increases the paid count.
- When the paid count reaches the configured limit, the Payment Link is automatically deactivated.
- Any customer who opens the link after that point sees the default deactivated-link message and cannot complete a payment.
Why merchants use it
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| Automatic sell-through control | No need to monitor volume manually or deactivate the link by hand. |
| Better fit for capped inventory or capacity | Helps prevent overselling and overbooking. |
| Lower operational overhead | The link stops itself once the configured payment target is reached. |
| Useful for one-time campaigns | Especially practical for limited releases, small launches, and single-use flows. |
Important notes
- The limit is based on successful payments, not page visits.
- Once the limit is reached, the Payment Link is automatically deactivated.
- After deactivation, customers may still open the link, but they will not be able to complete a purchase and will see the default deactivated-link message.
- If your Payment Link is intended for ongoing public collection, use this setting carefully.
