👋 happy to help

what invoice exactly are we talking about here?

[wild jay]

when a checkout session is created, we receive a url, when user follows this url, an invoice is created, isn’t it?

[gleaming willow]

no not instantly

would you mind sharing a request ID where you create the Checkout Session?

[wild jay]

I was just reading the documentation and I had this question

[gleaming willow]

the short answer is that there won't be any invoice generated before confirming the Checkout Session

[wild jay]

I don’t understand, if invoice has not yet been created before payment, then what does customer pay for?

what about payment intent? Is it also created only after payment?

https://stripe.com/docs/upgrades#2022-08-01:~:text=A PaymentIntent is no longer created during Checkout Session creation in payment mode. Instead%2C a PaymentIntent will be created when the Session is confirmed.
