I am using the online-checkout/payment-links option to allow a person to checkout from a link on a website. I can see in the post that I am making to square that there is a URL in the redirect\_URL field and it is correct. However, when someone pays successfully it is just displaying the square thank you page and not sending them back to the site. I have another checkout page that uses the same code, but for a different square account and it works as expected. Is there something I may be missing? Thanks in advance ---

What’s the application ID? Also is the `redirect_url` in the API response? 🙂 ---

Thanks for providing the request. The reason the `redirect_url` isn’t working is cause your `checkout_options` is empty and the `redirect_url` isn’t nested in the options. You have > “checkout\_options”: {}, If you set it like the following it will redirect correctly: ```auto "checkout_options": { "merchant_support_email": "XXXXXX", "redirect_url": "https://cox-education.com/XXXX.cfm" } ``` 🙂 ---

Thank you! You are correct. I am sorry I missed that. Have a good day!
