You can't unfortunately. That being said, you could use Invoices without Checkout instead if you wanted to have this type of payment dynamic
Invoices can have negative Invoice Items that are labeled however you like
There's also the hosted Invoice page, which would make it easy to spin up an integration
It's similarly low-code, compared to Checkout

Well, the reason I shifted to Checkout is because I do not want to persist a bunch of products and prices in our users' dashboards, and then manually have to clean them up later.
Also, the invoiced do not have the thumbnail images of the line items, which I would like to have.
bitter urchin
You wouldn't have to create more Prices/Products with Invoices. As for images, you're right, you can't add images, though you can customize logo, icon, and color: https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing/hosted-invoice-page#page-customization

Invoice features cost more, correct? Doesn't Stripe charge some fee for every paid invoice in addition to the regular POS fees? Would those fees be charged on the connected accounts?
bitter urchin
I don't really have any context on fees unfortunately. Our support folks should though: https://support.stripe.com/contact

Okay, I'll go back to the invoicing and see if I can make it work. Thank you for your help.

I'm looking at the Invoice object docs right now, and I notice that when generating the invoice line items, the invoice items are asking for price and product ids, whuch suggests that they are being pulled from persisted data. You said above I wouldn't have to create persisted prices and products for invoicing. Am I misunderstanding?
bitter urchin
The Invoice Items don't need Products and Prices, but the Invoice would
slender ocean
Specifically, the InvoiceItem.create() will take price_data, but the price_data requires a product id, so can't be done inline like the CheckoutSession.
bitter urchin
It can take a Price/Product, but it doesn't have to
slender ocean
Our users are photographers who are generating unique products for their customers on our platform. Each time they generate an order they are generating different products and prices, so we are worried that their Stripe dashboards will become cluttered with products for each line item on each invoice that they generate. And then to mitigate this, we would have to pull the line items for each invoice after it's paid and archive them. Does this sound right?
bitter urchin
Yup, sounds right to me
