## If less code is good, is no code better?
![Stripe No Code docs](https://d37ugbyn3rpeym.cloudfront.net/docs/og-image/docs.no-code.ogimage.png)

Since we launched Payment Links more than a year ago, 500,000 businesses have already created five million links. The rapid growth in use of Payment Links is no coincidence: Not having to write code means getting to market more quickly with less maintenance and worry. 

Not only do we think [it’s okay for devs to use no-code tools](https://dev.to/stripe/devs-its-okay-to-use-no-code-tools-1gld), but we just launched our first [Stripe docs for no-code](https://stripe.com/docs/no-code) options. It’s easier than ever to avoid writing code, whether that’s using Airtable as your form, Zapier as your ETL, or Stripe as your [customer portal](https://stripe.com/docs/no-code/customer-portal).

## Stay updated
**Stripe Identity mobile SDKs are now available:** Verify your user’s identity documents using Stripe Identity, now with support for iOS, Android, and React Native.

**Edit finalized invoices via API:** Merchants have been able to edit invoices in the Stripe Dashboard, and this ability is now available using the API as well.


### Checkout
**Add terms of service:** Checkout now supports acceptance of [terms of service](https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/customization?#collect-a-terms-of-service-agreement) when your customer is checking out. Set a URL to your terms in your account settings and turn on permission in your Checkout settings.

**Present your customers with their local currency:** With [multi-currency Prices](https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/present-local-currencies) you can now present currencies local to your customer based on their location for improved conversion rates.


### No code
**Payment Links analytics:** Payment Links now includes a [view of metrics](https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-links#view-analytics) such as views, sales, and revenue from a given payment link.

**Integrate the customer portal without code:** Enable your customers to self-manage their payment details, invoices, and subscription, in minutes—without writing a single line of code—using the [customer portal](https://stripe.com/docs/no-code/customer-portal).

**Documentation for Stripe no-code integrations:** There is a new top-tier section in docs that outlines [no-code options for using Stripe](https://stripe.com/docs/no-code). These integrations can enable payments workflows while saving development time for engineering teams.

### Mobile updates
**Stripe Android SDK:** [Android SDK versions 20.12.0-20.14.1](https://github.com/stripe/stripe-android/releases) were released this month, and include an expanded payment_method field for ACH requests, fixes to PaymentSheets, and the availability of PaymentMethod.Card.networks.

**Stripe iOS SDK:** [iOS SDK versions 22.8.1-22.8.3](https://github.com/stripe/stripe-ios/releases) contain updates to PaymentSheet, CardScan, and Identity, as well as bug fixes for Financial Connections and the Card Scan UI.

**Stripe React Native:** [version 0.19](https://github.com/stripe/stripe-react-native/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) was released, which contains breaking changes required to fit updated brand guidelines from Google for Google Pay and moves the minimum compileSdkVersion to v33.
