Add a payment link

Create a new payment link that can be shared with customers to collect payments. A payment link is a unique URL that redirects customers to a hosted checkout page.

If no installation_* attributes are provided, the merchant's default link installation will be used. If any installation_* attributes (like installation_email_capture) are provided, a new one-off installation will be created for this payment link, based on the merchant's default link installation attributes and the provided attributes.
