Hello! You can mark the Invoice as being paid out of band: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/pay#pay_invoice-paid_out_of_band

we are marking it as paid out of band however it means the payment and invoice are not linked in stripe. Let me get some pictures, one second
There is payment here and I want that against the invoice
jade jungle
Yes, that's correct. If you don't pay using the Invoice's Payment Intent the Invoice won't be linked to the payment.
winter scarab
are they any api calls I can make to connect the two?
jade jungle
No.
The best you can do is add metadata to the Invoice.
You could add the Payment Intent ID there, for example.
winter scarab
hmm, please give me a moment to check my script
just to confirm that if a payment intent was collect from a payment link. There is no way to allocate this to an invoice?
jade jungle
What exactly do you mean by "allocate this to an invoice"?
winter scarab
link an existing payment intent to an existing invoice
jade jungle
No, aside from the metadata approach I mentioned.
If you want to pay the Invoice and have the payment linked you need to use the Invoice's Payment Intent.
