Hello 👋
You can basically store the payment method using this flow
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse
and create off-session PaymentIntents to charge customers based on your own billing engine logic

this is helpoful thank you
summer sphinx
NP! 🙂 Happy to help

You write the code once and then it should work for any number of customers.
Are you a developer? If not, would highly recommend consulting one

I will be consulting the developer. But first need a general understanding.
Long as we dont have to do this everytime should be ok.

This will allow a customer to check out the first time, details are saved to stripe system, then we can go in and create a subscription (automated monthly billing)?
Am i understanding this correctly?
summer sphinx
Correct. also, I might have misunderstood your earlier question.
Are you trying to setup subscriptions on Stripe or are you trying to setup your own billing engine?
If its the former, we do offer creating subscriptions using Checkout or with custom code where the customer provides their payment method information via a webpage

We would like to have customer's login to the checkout page (on our website), pay for the first invoice. Once they submit there card details, these details are saved in the stripe system. We would than like to go into the system manuelly and create a reocurring automated billing monthly on a different amount.
We are not looking for the customer to create this subscription. It has to be done behind the scences.

Gotcha! 👍

It is doable. You can store the payment method as shown in the guide here
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse
and charge the customer one-time payment for your first invoice
Then you can create a subscription by calling the API for a different price
https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create

thank you, last question.
During the checkout page, is it possible to have a field created that allows the customer to enter there invoice number?
There will be no actual prodcuts on the website checkout page. The product is a service home staging monthly. Invoice sent separate with Quickbooks.
