Hello
Payment Links can either be used to take one-time payments or create Subscriptions
pine loom
actually we ve had the first payment and the transaction wouldnt even show up in payments or invoices within stripe
we use one time payments
supple berry
Okay then yeah you would not have a corresponding Invoice in that case
pine loom
yeah 😄
supple berry
But you should see the transaction in your Dashboard
If you want an Invoice for a one-time payment then you would have to create the Invoice itself, not use Payment Links here
pine loom
actually yes its on the dashboard
I dont want to manually create the invoices for one time payments
should I use zapier ?
or stripe invoicing
or are there other light tools
supple berry
Up to you really. But you can't use Payment Links for this use-case
supple berry
Wait wait
Sorry!
I forgot we did launch post-payment Invoice creation
With Payment Links
pine loom
cool
supple berry
So yeah you want to pass invoice_creation.enabled: true when you create your Payment Link: https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_links/payment_links/create#create_payment_link-invoice_creation

ok thanks for that
supple berry
Sure
pine loom
I just havent used the api yet
is there a possibility to turn it on at the stripe frontend/backend?
I literally just created some payment links within stripe and inserted them to the website
supple berry
Yes you can also do this via the Dashboard
pine loom
so wheres that?
supple berry
In the After payment tab when creating or editing the Payment Link
There is a Create an Invoice PDF option
pine loom
oh thats really great I dont know why I havent activated it in the first place
Ive just activated it, so for the next purchase, now, automatically the user will receive the proper invoice?
no further adjustments to be made, right?
also: is it possible to use this functionality for one purchase which was made already?
supple berry
No not possible for payments already made
But yes, if you are sending receipts for your payments then the Invoice will be available via the receipt for payments going forward. You should be able to test this all out in test mode
pine loom
ok will do this one manually then
sweet thank you so much!
thats all for now
have a great day
pine loom
