About Link
Link is a consumer-facing digital wallet and accelerated checkout product operated by Stripe. It lets shoppers securely save their payment methods and contact information, and then reuse them across any online store that has Link enabled. When Link also provides "Sold through Link" merchant-of-record services, it handles billing, tax, and some customer support on behalf of the underlying business selling a digital product or service.([support.link.com](https://support.link.com/questions/what-is-link?utm_source=openai))
On card and bank statements, Link-related transactions typically appear as "link.com * [Business User name]" or very similar wording. In your case, "LINK.COM* BEPRES SOUTH SAN FRA CA" indicates that Stripe/Link processed the payment and that "BEPRES" is the business user name or internal identifier for the seller associated with that purchase, not necessarily a consumer-facing brand you could easily look up. Because "BEPRES" does not cleanly match a well-known U.S. merchant and Link acts as the merchant of record for these transactions, the most reliable interpretation is that this is a purchase routed and billed through Link rather than a direct charge from a clearly identifiable standalone brand.([support.link.com](https://support.link.com/questions/what-is-link?utm_source=openai))
If you have questions about this charge, the fastest way to get details about the underlying merchant, product, and any subscription status is to log into your Link account (using the email or phone that received a receipt or verification text) and check the Activity section. From there you can view transaction details, manage stored payment methods, and for many purchases either contact the underlying business or request support or a refund directly through Link. If you cannot access a Link account, your bank or card issuer can also open a dispute, but it’s usually best to first review your Link history and emails from the day of the purchase to confirm whether the charge is legitimate.([support.link.com](https://support.link.com/questions/can-i-see-my-past-purchases-made-with-link?utm_source=openai))
