Hi, what does 'reaise an invoice' mean?

#

sorry, to be more specific: we're an australian company and these people are very backwards

#

they want us to email them a pdf invoice with whatever payment period due on it

#

so on the checkout im hoping for an option to say "receive invoice" rather than pay right now

#

I believe stripe calls that a "bill" internally

#

or is this a separate set of functionality that will need to be implemented on a separate button next to checkout for example?

i think what you're looking for is one-off invoices which you send to the customer to pay - you might want to start off from this landing page instead : https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing

Invoicing

Create and manage invoices for one-time payments with Stripe Invoicing.

#

is it possible to use these for a subscription though?

#

they will be signing up for an ongoing membership and will want these invoiced for each billing period

#

You'll need to create a Subscription via the API https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-collection_method, then more specifically use collection_method=send_invoice

okay so i can do that programatically

#

and am I able to do that via a checkout session?

empty crater Jun 21, 2024, 5:03 AM

#

Checkout Session doesn't support collection_method=send_invoice unfortunately.

#

okay so i will need a separate flow for that. and that will likely all happen in a single transaction on my server won't it? that seems to be the flow

#

checkout button next to a request invoice button, req invoice will send a payload to our API to generate and create subscription etc

#

to clarify, the customers that want the invoice, are customers that don't want to pay now right now. They'll pay via some other way e.g. via the hosted invoice page that Stripe will email them?

#

if that's the case then yes, whatever you said sounds about right

#

thank you very much for your help!

#

sorry that took so long to get through
