New in the Public API: payments, orders and pricing

We’ve shipped more Public API improvements to make integrations easier to build and automate.

New

Payment links don’t expire: links stay live until the order is paid or abandoned, so customers can pay whenever they return — ideal for phone, SMS, WhatsApp or AI-agent bookings.
Send payment emails through the API: Stora emails the customer their payment link automatically once the order is finalised, so there’s no email flow to build.
Mark orders as abandoned: flag an unfinished order as abandoned — the record stays, the customer drops into your follow-up, and the new order.abandoned webhook fires instantly. Works on draft and finalised orders.
Live prices on unit types: unit types now return a live price with dynamic pricing applied, alongside the base price, so an AI agent or chatbot quotes what the Storefront charges. Excludes promotions and discounts.
Auto-allocation when creating orders: pass the new parameter and Stora assigns the best available unit of that type, using the Storefront’s logic — no need to build your own.

emails is deprecated: payment emails are now controlled by the new email_notifications field. Switch emails to email_notifications — emails will continue to work for now but is deprecated.
