Hello

#

Are you asking if it is possible to send out Stripe Invoices without taking payment?

#

Hi bismark, correct -> e.g using moesif to collect usage from an api key and then sending ad-hoc/recurring invoice based on that usage/plan created

neon elm Sep 22, 2023, 1:15 PM

#

Yeah this is possible as long as you have an actiated account.

#

I'm a little confused though -- you don't anticipate taking payment for these Invoices?

neon elm I'm a little confused though -- you don't anticipate taking payment for these In...

and when the invoice is sent, can clients pay directly (nothing has to be set up on the frontend as payment methods?)

we anticipate taking payment, can it be via bank transfer rather than stripe processing them?

Ie. just generating invoice by Stripe without taking payment

#

Yep you can use our Hosted Invoice Page (which is provided via the email when you send the Invoice).

#

Really the best thing to do here is to create a test account and test this out!

#

Then you can see exactly how it works

#

Note: you have to send the Invoices to the email you create the account with in test mode otherwise they won't be sent in order to avoid spamming people

thank you bismark, and it is possible to have this automated I assume based on the plan created? ie. if certain user (through api calls) reaches X amount of calls, it's gonna send them invoice automatically?

#

Yep

#

You want to look into metered billing (https://stripe.com/docs/products-prices/pricing-models#usage-based-pricing)

#

And use thresholds to accomplish that.

#

awesome, thank you very much

neon elm Sep 22, 2023, 1:25 PM

#

Sure thing

#

Also, very quick one since it's related -> this Hosted Site looks great, does this mean that the fee would be:

2.9% + 0.30 cents + 0.8% on top of that for invoice sent/paid?

I believe that's correct but really we know ~nothing about fees here as we just focus on the API. If you have specific fee questions you will want to work with our Support team via https://support.stripe.com/contact/login
