ok

brazen blade Oct 4, 2022, 11:59 AM

#

Can you clarify what you are trying to achieve?

gray jungle Oct 4, 2022, 11:59 AM

#

Yes. Sure

#

I have built an application out of stripe that generates and sends invoices.

#

I would like for each invoice of my application to have a payment link throgh stripe

#

So I called the payment intent API to generate a payment intent

#

but the url I receive is half

#

I dont know what should be the full

What do you mean by "payment link" here? A URL you can send to your customers so they can pay the invoice?

gray jungle Oct 4, 2022, 12:02 PM

#

yes

#

But the invoice is not made on stripe

brazen blade Oct 4, 2022, 12:03 PM

#

You have two options for this:

Either use our Payment Link feature. More info here: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-links
Or create an invoice with Stripe. Then the invoice object will contain a hosted_invoice_url that you can send to your customers

#

But I dont want to send an invoice from Stripe

#

You mean to make the invoice and leave it there

#

not send it?

#

My app already issues invoices

#

Actually this is the main functionality of my app

#

Payment links might be an issue because they require a product.. I dont have products I only want an amount for a specific invoice

#

Does it make sense what I am saying?

You can create an invoice in Stripe, without sending it to the customer. Then you manually send them the hosted_invoice_url so they can pay it

#

Payment links might be an issue because they require a product.. I dont have products I only want an amount for a specific invoice
You just have to provide a name for the product, everything else is optional.

Will he be able to see the Stripe invoice in any way?

#

What about payment intents?

#

What is your opinion about htem

#

them?

#

What about payment intents?
Sure you can use PaymentIntent, but that's a lot more work for you. Here's how to accept a payment with PaymentIntents: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=web&ui=elements

#

Thank you!

#

Can I come back to you after I try the payment link?

brazen blade Oct 4, 2022, 12:13 PM

#

Sure!

gray jungle Oct 4, 2022, 12:13 PM

#

Thank you so much! You are so kind!

brazen blade Oct 4, 2022, 12:14 PM

#

Something that I forgot to mention: payment links are great if the amour is always the same. If you want the amount to be dynamic, then you probably want to use Checkout Session instead: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment

gray jungle Oct 4, 2022, 12:15 PM

#

The amount is for sure dynamic

#

Are differernt types of invoices
