Stripe does have emailable hosted payment pages. However, Stripe doesn't replace in-app purchases and you need to use Apple's API to perform in-app purchases. See here for details : https://stripe.com/docs/apple-pay#using-stripe-and-apple-pay-versus-in-app-purchases

I've already read that page, thanks. I know that Stripe offers hosted payment pages. My question is if there is a method that can be invoked in the api that can create a payment link from either a payment intent id or invoice id
I am removing the option for a user to perform payments from within the app
and will email a link instead
versed isle
when you create an invoice, you can create it with collection_method=send_invoice if that works for you? https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/create#create_invoice-collection_method

it looks like this would only work if a client exists? My integration uses Elements, which doesn't consider who is making the payment, it just is collecting it
my system generates a payment intent and my app (with the Elements) integration allows the user to pay it. What I need to switch to (for ios) is have my system email a stripe-hosted payment link to the user instead.
what a pia. I hate apple
versed isle
i'm a bit confused, cause you mentioned an invoice id
wary nest
well, my system creates a payment intent, and an invoice is also created automatically as a result of this.
versed isle
can you share an example PaymentIntent id so that I can take a look at how your integration works right now?
wary nest
so when this pi is created, i have an id for it and an invoice id also. So if either one of those can be used to generate a payment link this would be ideal

that is a production pi

There's no Stripe Invoice being involved here as far as I can tell. For your current flow no, there's no way to send an email for a customer to pay from.
wary nest
hmm
the api docs payment intent create() returns an invoice id, i thought
*returns an invoice object
versed isle
If you're using the Invoice API, underlying an Invoice is a PaymentIntent. Because you're not using Invoices, the PaymentIntent's invoice will not be populated

Link is not an email, it's a fast checkout solution : https://docs.stripe.com/payments/link
wary nest
oh, that thing
I forgot about that.
So what I would have to do in order to facilitate what I need is to use the Invoice api
?

I think the key point here is that if your business/app should be using Apple Pay's in-app payment, if that's the case, then Stripe isn't really an option
