When you choose "email invoice" usually it's for B2B transactions where they pay via bank transfers and what's what is set as the default right?
See https://stripe.com/docs/billing/collection-method for more details

Maybe. in test mode I just create a customer and fill in that form, but I didn't add any payment methods.
high gate
sure but what PaymentMethod to you see? Like what's it's type
neon coyote
Yes it's a bank transfer.
high gate
so yeah that's expected really
https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/invoice you can configure the payment methods you want to offer on your Invoices/Subscriptions on that page.
If you don't want bank transfers you can disable it, but it's the default for the "send invoice" flow

In this case the company has existing customers and when they transition to Stripe billing they'd like to keep emailing invoices. What will happen in live mode? It can't make up a fake ACH account like it does in test mode.
high gate
Ther'es no "fake ACH account" here at all. I think you're misunderstanding the flow. The bank details are for a real bank account owned by Stripe for that specific Customer for you. That's where they will wire money into from their own bank
in Test mode it's a test one, but in production we'd create a real one just for that customer

Oh I see. That was not obvious at all. Too automatic. 😄 .
Since I'm emailing the invoice, it will be up to them to decide if they want to use that or CC or whatever, correct?
high gate
yes and you can use the page in the Dashboard I shared above that lets you choose what to use!
neon coyote
You mean the list of payment options allowed?
high gate
yes
neon coyote
I think we want to allow all the different payment options. It's ok as long as the customer gets to choose at time of payment.
high gate
sounds good!
neon coyote
Thanks for the clarification.
