hello! Invoices are not automatically generated for one-off payments. If you need them and are using Checkout Sessions, you can set this parameter to true : https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-invoice_creation-enabled

Hi Alex. Thanks for swift replay, I'll give it a shot!
mental garden
When trying out your solution I get the following error: No such invoice: 'in_1PHKbgHHlF65TJNq94RkFeBF'
glad jasper
Can you share the request id [0]? it'd look like req_xxx

req_hxyGgdouQP3cyr

i assume you're creating a direct charge with the Checkout Session. If that's the case, you should be using the StripeAccount header to retrieve the Invoice from the connected account
mental garden
Of course, thats the problem. I don't receive the connected account id in the invoice data, so what would be the best way to fix that? I do send it when creating a new session in the payment_intent_data object. But its not visible in the invoice.
glad jasper
are you not currently saving the data about which connected account the order / Checkout Session is for?
how are you retrieving the Invoice data? i.e. how do you know what's the Invoice id to retrieve? Are you listening for an event?
mental garden
I listen for the webhook invoice.created to know when to update my local database about the purchase. When receiving the webhook I call stripe (stripe.invoices.retrieve) with the id I have just received in the webhook. But here I need to append the connected account id, but thats not present in the webhook (invoice.created).
So I guess I need to send some other meta information along with the session.create?
glad jasper
i don't see any webhook endpoints setup on your platform account. You would actually want to setup Connect webhooks : https://docs.stripe.com/connect/webhooks. The webhook event from a connected account will contain the connected account id
I'm not sure where you've setup your webhook endpoint that is listening for invoice.created events
mental garden
Right now I'm developing it locally and listen with this command: stripe listen --forward-connect-to localhost:6060/api/stripe/webhook/connect
glad jasper
you should be able to see https://docs.stripe.com/api/events/object#event_object-account
mental garden
Can I just paste what I receive in the webhook here, or is it unsafe?
I dont see an account attribute in it.
glad jasper
hrm, feel free to paste it. Since it's a test event, i'm assuming you don't have any sensitive info inside, e.g. real customer names, emails, addresses etc. If you do, you should redact those. The object id itself isn't sensitive info. The general public can't do anything with an object id unless they have access to your Stripe account (and/or API keys)
mental garden
glad jasper
that's just the data.object : https://docs.stripe.com/api/events/object#event_object-data-object
for example if you see the event object example in our specs
{
"id": "evt_1NG8Du2eZvKYlo2CUI79vXWy",
"object": "event",
"api_version": "2019-02-19",
"created": 1686089970,
"data": {
"object": {
....
Ahh you're right. I get it now 🙂 I was passing event.data.object to my method, but needed to look at the event itself.
