# Create a recovery payment link for a past due subscription

> Generates a hosted, signed recovery link that lets the customer pay the outstanding renewal charge for a past_due subscription. Unlike reactivate, which charges server-to-server, this returns a link the merchant can deliver through their own email, SMS, or dashboard. The link carries a self-contained signed token and stays valid until the charge is paid or the subscription is no longer past due.
