Hello! Just to clarify - you're asking how to create an off-session payment using a previously saved payment method?
west hornet
no
its like
assume customer has paid in cash and we make it like we have received the payment
potent python
Ah, so you just want to make a record of a payment in stripe, but the payment was recevied outside of stripe?
west hornet
yes correct
potent python
Gotcha - so the only way to do that is with Invoices https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing/integration. Once your Invoice is created you can mark it as paid_out_of_band (https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/pay#pay_invoice-paid_out_of_band) to indicate that it was paid outside of stripe
potent python
Correct - payment intents are purely meant for representing payments made in stripe. You'd either have to track those other payments yourself, or rely on Invoices

Alright
Thanks @potent python
