👋 happy to help

you can always use the customer's metadata in order to store the points there

[merry girder]

yes and how should I do this kind of stuff with the orders which are paid apart from stripe?

[patent basin]

when you receive the payment you just update the customer object in Stripe

[merry girder]

yeah and how can I add the paymentdetails to the customer? Like paid amount, notes what have been paid, ... obviously not the paymentmethod, because the customer paid apart from stripe ^^

[patent basin]

you can create an invoice

and mark it as paid out of band https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/pay#pay_invoice-paid_out_of_band

meaning not with Stripe

[merry girder]

will the customer get's an email when I create it?
Can I add notes to it via the api?

[patent basin]

depends on what you want

Can I add notes to it via the api?
yes

[merry girder]

Am I blind or where do I enter the amount when creating the invoice?https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/create?lang=node

[patent basin]

you need to create invoice items

https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/integration

[merry girder]

can I reuse them?
So I create one one time and resuse it for every new invoice?

[patent basin]

no

[merry girder]

how do I authenticate the customer when I show him his recent invoices. Because my goal is to have a customer dashboard where he can also see his points. You already mentioned, that I can use metadata, to keep track of them. If I use the default customer portal by stripe the use is authenticated... but there are no points to see (because it's metadata)

[patent basin]

you would need to build one for them

[merry girder]

ok

[merry girder]

can you share me the docs, so I can look further into it?

[patent basin]

you already sent them https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/create?lang=node

[merry girder]

I mean the notes. To create notes to it

[patent basin]

what do you mean by notes?

[merry girder]

these notes: 👆

[patent basin]

[merry girder]

hm, no

[patent basin]

would you mind translating the screenshot

[merry girder]

[patent basin]

where did you get this from?

would you mind sharing the URL?

[merry girder]

yeah sure: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/payments/pi_3NJXxWD4LgnRPd5t04AnCJt5

[patent basin]

Oh this is a dashboard only feature

it's not exposed through API

[merry girder]

Oh ok
