@grave zealot PaymentIntents don't always have an Invoice associated with it. So if you see invoice: null it means you created a PaymentIntent yourself and no Invoice was involved
grave zealot
I have paymentIntent Id
How can I create a payment intent with invoice
So it can show
indigo plover
That's impossible. You can't create an Invoice after the fact. If you need an Invoice then you have to use our Invoicing product upfront. See https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing/integration

Understand , So how can I implement a paid payment intent invoice download feature ?
So user can download their already paid receipt / invoice
indigo plover
yes
grave zealot
It can be receipt also
indigo plover
receipt and Invoice are completely different concepts though
grave zealot
On stripe there is no api for receipt download
indigo plover
If you only want a receipt then you can use https://docs.stripe.com/api/charges/object#charge_object-receipt_url
indigo plover
this is a Charge id, you can use the Retrieve Charge API and then look at receipt_url. Or use Expand: https://stripe.com/docs/expand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8Vj_CEWyQc

indigo plover
You can't sorry. You have a URL and you can send the end customer to that URL and there they can download. It's impossible to download the receipt PDF sorry
grave zealot

indigo plover
No, you get a URL and you send that end customer to that URL

How can user get invoice for one-time payment ?

Hi 👋
I'm stepping in as my colleague needs to go
grave zealot
How can user get invoice for one-time payment ?
delicate skiff
Are you creating Invoices beforehand? Invoices are fundamentally different from receipts. They are documents with legal requirements.
We allow you to use Invoices for one-off payments if you create them before the payment: https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing.
Or, you can use Checkout and specify that you want to create invoices for one-off payments: https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-invoice_creation

I am getting payment with card element and using paymentIntent.create api , It is not possible to move on checkout session api , How can I get invoices on that case ?
So in my site I am getting one time amount with payment intent create api , and collecting payment with card element , and on the paymentIntent object invoice is null
Without moving to checkout session api , is there any solution?
delicate skiff
If you are just creating a Payment Intent and not creating an Invoice beforehand, you cannot generate an Invoice for those payments after they have been completed. You can only provide receipts.
grave zealot
Understand , So how can I proceed to get invoices without checkout session api?
And there is also not relation between invoice create api and payment intent api that is a problem , but on the other hand we can create invoice on chekout session api for payment intent
So without moving to checkout session api , is there any way to get invoices for one time amount ?
delicate skiff
Sorry the way you are wording this is very confusing.
So how can I proceed to get invoices without checkout session api?
You can create Invoices for one-off payments. These will generate Payment Itents you can use the Payment Element to confirm. Please review the docs on Invoicing I provided.

That's what I want , thanks a lot
