These are related but separate events. You can have a charge fail unrelated to an invoice, so the invoice event would not be sent, or as you describe invoice payment can fail because there is no payment method, meaning no charge happened/failed
Often they will occur together when a real invoice-related payment fails for some reason
In which case you'd get both
Ahhh I see. So it is possible to get one or the other, or both
What is the case that an invoice is created without a charge? Does the charge always come after?
In our case, our customers are on a subscription, and I see both events come through for them when a payment fails. It seems generally like we always get both, but I don't know in what case we would only get one event.
Do you know when a charge is created vs an invoice?
real payments should always have a charge (via payment intent) but its possible eg for an invoice to be for $0 either by price or by discount, so there'd be an invoice but no payment
NP!
