Refreshing in-plugin hyperlinks

[csmcneill]

Describe the issue As a part of the project to refresh the Stripe WooCommerce Extension documentation (see pbUcTB-3I8-p2 for all the juicy details), a lot of the in-plugin links to our documentation no longer direct to where we expect them to. Please see p1705952474432709-slack-C07418EA0 for reasons why redirects cannot work here as expected.

Since we cannot redirect an anchored URL (e.g., https://woo.com/document/stripe/#webhooks), there are no 301 redirects in place. However, since the Stripe docs were previously housed on a single page, all of the current in-plugin links will send users to https://woo.com/document/stripe/ and not to pages about specific topics, like https://woo.com/document/stripe/setup-and-configuration/stripe-webhooks/. As a result, I'm preemptively giving this a priority: low tag — but feel free to increase the priority if needed :)

While creating this issue, I also saw that this will serve as an opportunity to replace some of the other in-plugin links.

Expected behavior

Payment Methods page:

• The Learn more hyperlink under the Express checkouts heading should direct users to https://woo.com/document/stripe/setup-and-configuration/express-checkouts/ instead of https://woocommerce.com/document/stripe/#express-checkouts
• The Read more hyperlink associated with Link by Stripe could direct users to https://support.link.com/questions/what-is-link instead of https://woocommerce.com/document/stripe/#stripe-link — since Link is not a Woo-owned product, we currently do not have much documentation about what it is (similar to how we don't have any information on Woo.com about Apple Pay or Google Pay).

Settings page:

Sections of the settings page:

Each section is now documented separately in our docs. We can include a Read more link under each heading.

1. General: https://woo.com/document/stripe/setup-and-configuration/settings-guide/#general
2. Account details: https://woo.com/document/stripe/setup-and-configuration/settings-guide/#account-details
3. Payments & transactions: https://woo.com/document/stripe/setup-and-configuration/settings-guide/#payments-transactions (which should replace the existing link to the View Frequently Asked Questions page)

There is also one for the advanced settings section (https://woo.com/document/stripe/setup-and-configuration/settings-guide/#advanced-settings).

Other links on the settings page:

• The Learn more hyperlink under the Enable test mode checkbox can direct users to https://woo.com/document/stripe/customer-experience/testing/ instead of https://stripe.com/docs/testing
• The Issue an authorization on checkout, and capture later section can have a link to the Auth + Capture guide at https://woo.com/document/stripe/admin-experience/authorize-and-capture/

We should also update all the Stripe docs links. There's tons of links to https://stripe.com/docs/... when their new docs live at https://docs.stripe.com/....
