Edwin from Stripe here. This isn’t really new—we first introduced saved payment info in 2014 but started renaming it last year (https://twitter.com/patrickc/status/1375611432331407363). The linked page is a support portal to let customers manage their saved payment methods.

Is it possible to create a payment link that customer can follow to pay you a certain amount without dinking with all the invoice/product/price junk? If I create an invoice in another system I want to put a QR code on those invoices that customers can simply follow and pay. That link/payment should be tied to metadata I provide to Stripe--associated with that link. Sort of like a hosted UI payment page. I think PayPal does that but I want to stay away from them.

We are working on a few things in this vein.

Why isn't this under the Stripe domain or Stripe site? I mean if you haven't commented on it I would have thought this is some sort of a scam.

And if it was postponed as a different product ( which seems to be the case ), the information, layout etc seems to be sparse that left me questioning if Stripe is really intended to do this in the long run.

Basically the "message" or signal that is sent here isn't very convincing.
