Link SMS Verification

Clear the Link SMS verification step with a virtual number and sign up for the fast-checkout service built on Stripe without sharing your personal line.

Link is a one-click checkout service developed by Stripe; it lets you save your card and contact details once and pay in a single tap across thousands of online stores. To confirm that the saved payment details belong to you, secure sessions and prevent unauthorized use, the service sends a verification code to your phone by SMS.

To verify Link with a virtual number, select Link from the service list, enter the number you're given in the phone field on the payment or sign-up screen, and confirm the code. This is a practical option for users who want to keep their payment identity separate from their personal number, protect their privacy on a one-off purchase, or review a store's checkout flow.

In payment services, phone verification is a security layer as critical as your password, so if you'll use the account with real cards over time, choose a number whose access you can maintain. Never share the SMS code with anyone and only enter it on Stripe/Link's official payment screens. Always avoid sharing genuine financial details outside the platform's own secure areas.
