Hello! Stripe will send Invoices to customers if they are collection_method: send_invoice , it's in livemode, and you've got the setting to send those emails enabled here (https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/automatic)

thank you very much 🙂
this collection_method seems something subscriptions related though
dark dust
It's something you can set during Invoice creation as well (https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/create#create_invoice-collection_method)

so it's something I can call after a PaymentIntent is succeeded?
dark dust
No, that's something you'd set during Invoice creation (BEFORE the payment intent is succeeded)
Let's back up here - what are you really trying to do?

ok ok makes sense. i have a flow like:
1 - set up payment method (SetupIntent)
2 - trigger payment using the saved payment method (PaymentIntent)
it's not a subscription though, amount is always different based on some criteria

Where does the Invoice come into play here? If you want Invoices you shouldn't be creating separate PaymentIntents

ok it's something probably I read about, not something I was looking for and I was wondering if in livemode the customers receive the invoices after a payment
dark dust
Ah, let me clarify - your customers would receive Invoice IF you are using Invoices
If you're not using Invoices at all you probably care more about receipts
which you'd control through the first setting here (https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/emails)
