Checkout sessions create payment intents themself

You don't need to explicitly create a payment intent if using checout

See: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=web&ui=stripe-hosted

Oh Great. Can I just create a payment for example 20$, without specifying a product?

[cosmic mirage]

Yes

[vapid cave]

Thanks! Does it always create an invoice?

[cosmic mirage]

Not for 1 time payments

Unless you specify you want an invoice created

[vapid cave]

Alright, great. Thats exactly what I need. Thank you!

[cosmic mirage]

No problem

[vapid cave]

one more question:

whats the TTL of a checkout session? Because I need to send reminderd and stuff to the customer.

Or it can take several weeks before they pay

[cosmic mirage]

Default is 24 hours: https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-expires_at

That's also the max

You might want payment links instead

It's a permanent link

Or just send them an invoice

[vapid cave]

can I create a checkout session from a payment intend (which doesn't expire)?

Than I can just redirect them too a session from my platform

[cosmic mirage]

No

That's why i recommend payment link or invoice

Those won't expire
