Hey! Taking over for my colleague. Let me catch up.
Just to make sure I totally understand you question, what do you mean by one-off invoices ? do you mean one-time invoices or Billing/Subscription's invoices ?
- if we set collection_method: 'charge_automatically' , will we still be able to use stripe.invoices.send to send the invoice as email to our customers?
No, you can only manually send an invoice if its collection method is 'send_invoice'.

hi, i meant 1 time invoice for a subscription that is aside from regular monthly billing
e.g something happens, and customer is required to pay a fee
No, you can only manually send an invoice if its collection method is 'send_invoice'.
alright!

If you create that invoice manually using this API https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/create, then you need to finalize it by your self using this API:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/finalize
Stripe finalize just the billing invoice after one hour not the manual created ones:
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/invoices/subscription#:~:text=Stripe finalizes and sends the invoice in 1 hour

hi @steel breach again, another quick question, would one-off email has smart retries feature like regular monthly billing invoice?
steel breach
You can use Smart retries on one-off invoices:
https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/automatic-collection#smart-retries:~:text=If a payment failure occurs on a one-off invoice%2C Stripe sends a link to the Hosted Invoice Page to the customer. If a payment fails for a subscription invoice%2C your customers can use the Stripe-hosted page to%3A
