Congratulations on the launch! This looks super nice, and if I understand it correctly, it's _kinda_ like creating a Checkout Session and redirecting the user, but more direct.
About a year ago I was toying with the idea of creating a SaaS/product that worked completely without JS, and the only hurdle was that there currently is no way to simply answer redirect a client directly to the Checkout page after creating a Checkout Session in the backend. Currently, you have to create the Checkout Session, send this to the client, load StripeJS, and _then_ you can redirect to the Checkout page.
Seeing that the Payment Link is basically the same thing, only that instead of a backend, the seller can create the Payment Link ("Checkout Session") in a dashboard, it doesn't really seem like the StripeJS-step I mentioned above is strictly necessary.
I hope you'll add a way to get the URL when creating a Checkout Session in the backend, so that the dream of a fully-functioning noscript SaaS might one day come true :)
