Hi 👋

Invoices are unique to Customer objects so each Invoice would need to be associated with a Customer and that Customer would need to have an email set to allow for sending the invoce.

Is there no other way Stripe can email a payment link to someone specific?

[vapid minnow]

No. We need a Customer object with an email. You also need Customers to create Invoices so, even if the email was dynamic, you still couldn't create the Invoice without creating a Customer.

I have no issue creating the invoice for the customer and emailing it to that specific customer, I was just wondering if it's possible to forward the payment link to a different email as well

[vapid minnow]

I don't think we have that available in the API currently. I'm guessing you don't just want to retrieve the hosted_invoice_url and send the email yourself. https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-hosted_invoice_url

[stoic prism]

OK understood. You're correct I wanted stripe to send the email since it is more polished than what I can send myself

[vapid minnow]

Unfortunately I do no think that is a current feature of the API. I know it's a feature we are working on but I think that is still focused on adding a cc list of emails to the Customer object.

Thanks, hopefully that feature is out soon

In my case it would easiest if the CC function was attached to this function: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/send

I can raise that internally and you can write to support to be informed if we move forward with this.
