hello! yes, there's an invoice parameter on the PaymentIntent object : https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/object#payment_intent_object-invoice
young scarab
when will the invoice be populated? will this happen after the payment intent has been successfully paid?
sudden python
it'll exist once the Invoice has been created. I'd suggest trying it out
young scarab
I looked into it and saw that invoice would be created before the payment -intent. I'm using the stripe elements so I'm creating the payment-intent only for this would I still get the invoice?
sudden python
no, you wouldn't get an invoice if you're only creating a PaymentIntent
young scarab
no, you wouldn't get an invoice if you're only creating a PaymentIntent
so we would need to create Invoice before creating PaymentIntent correct?
sudden python
if you're creating an Invoice, you don't need to create a PaymentIntent. The PaymentIntent is automatically created
young scarab
oh got it. By using Stripe Elements we can still create invoice using the API instead of PaymentIntent?
