The Billing Portal can be initialized by adding a parameter named "init" to the billing portal URL with a JSON formatted and URL encoded value representing a checkout initialization object.
Using a URL encoded, JSON formatted [initialization object]/reference/checkout-init-object) in the URL is primarily useful when the object and URL are programmatically generated.
An example use case is an invoicing application which automatically generates the Billing Portal URL with an init parameter specifying the amount, currency, invoice number, customer, etc. and injects it in the emailed PDF invoice. JSON formatting and URL encoding an initialization object in such an environment is typically very straightforward and concise.
URL Encoding
All parameter values containing non-alphanumeric characters passed in the URL need to be URL encoded regardless of which parameter format is being used.
