The receipt should be same as the invoice receipt.

receipt and invoices are two different things
you can't generate an invoice for payments you've already accepted
analog herald
Ok, so I just want a receipt like the above but a payment that is already made. For future payments I am using invoice_creation.enabled.
Now I get a receipt for a one-time payment as this picture, which is not suitable for auditing purposes.

yeah like I mentioned earlier, you can't generate an invoice for a payment that already has been accepted.
The only way would be to create a new one-off invoice and then mark it as paid out of band.

May I know how to do that ?

does that help @analog herald ?
analog herald
But if I create an invoice and change the status to paid, I believe that would create an extra item for auditing when it is not paid actually.
lofty pasture
Yeah, that's the limitation.
There's no way to create an invoice retroactively for a payment that you've processed already.
The only other option I can think of is, you could generate your own invoice (without involving Stripe) in this case.

Got it, thanks for the help.
