Clicking a link and getting to a page without mentioning what I'm paying for is highly suspicious.

But before you click the link, the page would explain what you're paying for, right?

Sure, at the exact moment you're entering your card details, it doesn't say what the product is.

However, it seems this could be changed quite trivially. Just add an optional `description` field to the form used to generate the url, and let the description be displayed on the payment page.
