Yeah on the surface that does sound like a good usecase for invoices

Is it typical for a platform to create invoices that aren't actually sent to customers?

We originally looked at the Orders API but it never left beta. So now we're looking at invoices...

I can't say typical or not, but you can definitely do that. That's pretty much what the charge automatically collection method is for: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/create#create_invoice-collection_method
