Hello! Cash payments would be handled outside of Stripe by your own process/code/etc.

Hmmm, but if I am selling products that are hosted in stripe... how do I record the fact a product has been bought by cash?
I appreciate cash is not handled but how to record the transaction?

If you're using Invoices you can mark the Invoice as paid out of band: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/pay#pay_invoice-paid_out_of_band

The scenario I have is a sports club. Most of it is online purchase which is fine and can either do it via checkout sessions or terminal. However some customers turn up at the club reception and wish to book a court with cash? They really don't want an invoice. Which would be overkill for a small value transaction ~£10.

That kind of thing would be handled entirely outside of Stripe.

Appreciate it is a POS application but the fact there is no way to record product payments in cash seems like a gap.
olive berry
Not sure I understand... you wrote the POS app, right? You can build the ability to record cash payments.
rugged hill
Yes but I have to record transactions in 2 completely different databases. Stripe and something completely separate which has to tie back to Stripe products.
olive berry
Why does it have to tie back to a Stripe product?
rugged hill
All the products of the sports club are created in stripe, as well as all the customer information.

Hello 👋 , taking over for Rubeus. Unfortunately, we don't have a way to report cash transactions outside of that invoicing API in Stripe as far as I am aware. I can file feedback for this and I do think we have things like this on the roadmap but at the moment the invoicing API is the only one that I am aware of that has out of band functionality.

Thanks @craggy ravine appreciate the feedback.
