Hello! I don't recommend you do that; Stripe isn't designed to take in previous Invoices like that, and you'll likely run into issues. You can backdate Subscriptions though: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/backdating

can you expand more on "you'll likely run into issues". What would be an example?

#

Stripe's systems are not designed to import past Invoices from a different system. If you try to force it you will likely run into unexpected and undesirable behavior.

mmm, my thought process was simply bringing in a record of payments by creating invoices and marking them paid out of band. I wasn't planning on trying to collect on any of these.

I still do not recommend it. The dates will be all wrong, for one thing. But in any case the answer to your original question is on this page: https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/integration/automatic-advancement-collection#toggle-auto-advance

#

No emails will be sent if you have auto_advance set to false.
