What do you mean by manual payment? Just a one-time payment?
misty ore
No. People occasionally pay at our reception in cash.

So you want to create a payment link and just mark it as paid to record a cash transaction?
misty ore
Yes exactly.

You can do this with invoices: https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/overview?dashboard-or-api=api#paid
misty ore
Thanks. I can follow that. I was hoping to use the convenience of paymentLinks so reception could simply record the payment against a customer in cash.
ember cairn
No problem. You can also use the dashboard to mark an invoice as paid
misty ore
Oh right? But paymentLinks require a payment method to be selected?
ember cairn
Yeah not referring to a payment link. Just an invoice: https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/overview?dashboard-or-api=dashboard#paid. A payment link is just a public link a customer can go to to pay. To track payments paid "out-of-band" with cash, etc. you would need to create an invoice and then mark it paid like in the above link (which can be done from the dashboard if you like).

Okay, many thanks for that. You've answered my question.
