hi! can you clarify what you mean by 'invoice' ? maybe you just mean a receipt?

Yes, I placed the order and I would like to send the order receipt by e-mail. Does stripe do this automatically? Or will I receive the invoice via Stripe API and send it myself?

you can read the docs above to learn how receipts work(the short aswer being that there is a setting you can turn on to have Stripe automatically email a receipt to the customer)

Well, there is something I don't understand. What is the difference between invoice and voucher?

I think the Invoice is not created automatically on this page after the order is placed. Is it true? https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/invoices

yes, Invoices(objects with ID in_xxx that appear on that Dashboard page) are only created if you explicitly use the Invoice API for example, not all means by which you can process a payment on Stripe use Invoices.
So it's important to understand the distinction between an Invoice and a receipt and what your actual goal is.

That is, the receipt is automatically created and sent to Stripe. But I have to create the Invoice myself using Stripe API and send it myself, isn't it in the code?

#

sorry, that sentence is difficult to understand.

#

the receipt is automatically created and sent to Stripe
if you have the setting turned on, the receipt is automatically created and sent by Stripe to the end-customer, yes.

Yes, my English is not good, I'm sorry.

if you explicitly want to have Invoices then you need to integrate with a solution that creates Invoice objects(and there a few different ways of doing that so it depends overall what your use case is).

So, in a normal e-commerce site, do you think it is enough to just send a receipt to the customer?
