How Link works
For returning Link customers, when they click on the Link button they’re asked to authenticate with an SMS or email code. After the customer authenticates, Link loads their previously saved payment details, and then they can pay with one click. If this customer previously authenticated their account in the last 90 days on your site or through a different Link-enabled business, they won’t need to do it again and can pay instantly.
Customers who are new to Link are prompted to save their information in a Link account when they click on the Link button.
You can learn more about your customer’s Link experience in the Link customer FAQ.
