We don't automatically generate invoices ever

You'd need to create an invoice

In which case, you'd need to switch to creating invoices instead of payment intents if that's what you want

Or is the intent just to have a receipt for a payment intent, not actually an invoice?

[heavy wharf]

Ah, so invoices differ from receipts?

[slow veldt]

Yeah invoicing is an entire product: https://stripe.com/invoicing

[heavy wharf]

What about this from the docs then:

"Stripe generates invoices automatically, but for one-time payments, you need to enable them. To generate invoices, toggle Successful payments on in your Customer emails settings."

[slow veldt]

Where do you see that

[heavy wharf]

https://docs.stripe.com/receipts#:~:text=Invoices have more information than,in your Customer emails settings.

[slow veldt]

You're referring to checkout?

Subscriptions are built on top of invoices, so they're generated with each subscription payment

You can configure checkout so create invoices for one-time payment

But you said you're creating payment intents directly so none of this is relevant

[heavy wharf]

ah no.. I have custom intetgration and I create payment intents via API.. therefore I can only get receipts and not invoices, right?

[slow veldt]

You can get invoices too

You need to create them though

I sent you the doc earlier

Invoicing is a separate product

[heavy wharf]

Ah ok, so I basically choose when to create them and I need to do it manually.

However, user will receive a receipt for his transaction if this is enabled?

[slow veldt]

yep

[heavy wharf]

Ok, thanks for clarification!
