Create Payment Credential

Use Link to get secure payment credentials from a Link wallet for one-time purchases and recurring payments.

The CLI can produce three credential types:

• A virtual card (PAN) for use with a standard web checkout form. The issued card works anywhere.
• A Shared Payment Token (SPT) when the seller is in the Stripe Network and accepts payments programmatically (for example with Machine Payment Protocols).
• A Link Pay Token (LPT) for a supported Stripe payment surface.

Installing

Install with npm install -g @stripe/link-cli. Or run directly with npx @stripe/link-cli.

Running commands

Link CLI can run as an MCP server or as a standalone CLI.

MCP: Add the following to your MCP client config (.mcp.json, etc.)
