Hello! What's up?

Pulling your message in here:

i'm looking to generate a paid invoice for a customer who is labeled as a guest.

[cyan pawn]

okay cool.

thanks.

looks like i'm only able to generate for PAYG customers who are under a subscription plan.

[mint needle]

That's correct, I don't think you can create Invoices for guest customers. They don't have a reusable payment method.

You would need to create a non-guest Customer to represent them, then create an Invoice for that Customer.

[cyan pawn]

yep, i can create an invoice but i need a paid invoice.

[mint needle]

How do you want the Invoice to be paid?

[cyan pawn]

this created invoice seems to be a "bill".

[mint needle]

Wait... are you saying you want to generate an Invoice for a payment that's already been made?

[cyan pawn]

paid via the same method they used initially.

yep, that's correct.

[mint needle]

Or is this for a new transaction?

[cyan pawn]

is this possible?

[mint needle]

If you want an Invoice for an existing Checkout transaction it's too late; invoice_creation would have needed to be enabled on the Checkout Session when the customer paid: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/object#checkout_session_object-invoice_creation

[cyan pawn]

ahh, okay.

how do we enable that for all of our Guest customers?

automatically.

[mint needle]

How are they getting to Checkout? Are you creating Checkout Sessions? Are you using Payment Links?

[cyan pawn]

that's a good quesiton that i'm not sure i know the answer to.

let me check with the team and get back to you.

thanks so much, great support so far.

we use payment links.
