# Adds support for Managed Payments on payment links

## What’s new

Adds support for [Managed Payments](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/managed-payments.md), where Stripe acts as the merchant of record for digital products, when using [payment links](https://docs.stripe.com/payment-links.md). When you create a payment link, enable Managed Payments by setting the new [managed_payments.enabled](https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_links/create.md?api-version=2026-03-25.preview#create_payment_link-managed_payments-enabled) parameter to true.

## Impact

You can now use Managed Payments to sell digital products through payment links.

You can create payment links with Managed Payments enabled [in the Dashboard](https://dashboard.stripe.com/payment-links/create) or using [the Payment Links API](https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_links.md?api-version=2026-03-25.preview).
