Hey, I want to better understand what you are trying to do exactly, so an example request ID would help.

I haven't coded anything yet

All I need to do using the invoicing api is

• Generate an invoice with a price I determine at the time of generating it. (So I can't create prices in the dashboard as the prices are different for every invoice)
• Once the invoice is generated, I need to get a website link for stripes hosted invoice page to give to the client
• I cannot provide an email in the invoice as my clients do not have emails listed

This doc shows how to create an invoice like that. It uses a predefined price but you can just use the invoice item's price_data hash to define an ad hoc price

Ok thank you. Do you mind leaving this open for 10-20 minutes so I can test this

I see the docs say:

Does this mean I must provide a customer object? I don't have the customers email or anything

because it seems I must already setup a customer to use invoicing:

The customer object is listed as optional in the API reference, so you can use it without one https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/create#create_invoice-customer

Ok thank you, maybe this page should be updated to reflect a customer isn't needed to create an invoice
