# Customize the submit button recurring Payment Links and Checkout Sessions

## What’s new

You can now [customize the submit button](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/customization/policies.md#submit-button) for [Checkout Sessions](https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions.md?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia) and [Payment Links](https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment-link.md?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia) with recurring items.

We added support for the [submit_type](https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create.md?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia#create_checkout_session-submit_type) parameter when you create a Session where the [mode](https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create.md?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia#create_checkout_session-mode) is set to `subscription`. This change also includes support for making updates to the `submit_type` on existing Payment Links.

## Impact

Users can now [customize the behavior of Checkout](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/customization/policies.md?payment-ui=embedded-form#submit-button) to use `donate` as the text for the submit button for recurring payments.
