Hello
graceful prawn
hey

To create one-off Invoices requires creating Invoice Items: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoiceitems/create
At the very least this requires having a Product created in Stripe
You can set price_data inline when creating an Invoice Item if you want: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoiceitems/create#create_invoiceitem-price_data
But the short answer is that yes, Invoices require the use of Products/Prices
Not sure if I understand your question around the Charges API... yes Invoices create PaymentIntents (which create Charges) but you can use both integrations if you want

👍 i think the product/prices aspect is more important and gets me most of the answer i needed
the charges question, i am still using legacy charge api with tokenized payment methods. i have seen an issue recently about payment methods setup with SetupIntent not working on manual charges and was wondering if the reverse is true. If i was able to create an invoice but the payment method for the user was setup with tokenization + customer update call, whether that would also be a problem.
i think the important takeaway for me is to try to get some of that migration to PaymentIntent + SetupIntent done first

You can still charge Card objects (what I assume you are talking about when you say "tokenization + customer update call") with Invoices via https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/pay#pay_invoice-payment_method
It is backward compatible
