Can you share more details about what exactly you're trying to achieve? What's your ideal customer flow here?

I'm preparing to add a small number of legacy users to my customer list whose subscriptions will be paid manually outside of Stripe. (I believe the term is an "out of band" payment). My goal is to allow these customers to use the same subscription/rebill logic as the rest of the customer base, but not be automatically charged or automatically emailed, as I will take care of marking the invoices as paid via webhook once the external payment has succeeded.

Ah, I see. I think what you'll want to do is make use of auto_advance as well. This should be set to false if you don't want to send invoice emails for these customers (but don't want to toggle your general email settings for subscriptions for everyone else)

And auto-advance can only be set on the invoice, correct? aka it's not a property that can be set on the subscription to apply to all invoices.

That's right

If we have email settings toggled off for our account and we set collection_method: send_invoice to a subscription, what will happen in that case? Would no email be sent?
(We don't use stripe for transactional emails so all of our email settings are toggled off except for "Email finalized invoices to customers".)

all of our email settings are toggled off except for "Email finalized invoices to customers".
Emails will be sent to customers for every finalized email.collection_methoddoesn't matter in this case
