6. That email is related to your payment to DU

but DU did not send it to you, it was sent from Link, which is the payment method you used to purchase your Star Membership.

The new Stripe payment processing that we're using as an alternative to PayPal allows you to choose a number of different payment methods, and it seems you chose Link as your method. When doing this, you entered your email address on the Stripe processing page -- that's so it can send you a receipt. In this case it seems that after you made the payment via Link, Link is now asking you to confirm your email address with them.

I can see at our end that the payment went through successfully, so I don't think you need to confirm your email with Link if you don't want to.

I'm leery of clicking on unexpected links in emails. Did DU send me after I tipped a "verify your email address" link? [View all] NNadir May 20 OP
