Hello
PaymentIntents API do not generate invoices.

Can you share more about your usecase and is there a guide you're following for this?

#

When developing this we basically used this guide: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/sofort/accept-a-payment?web-or-mobile=web&payments-ui-type=direct-api&client=html

Gotcha. That guide creates a PaymentIntent directly.. In this case invoices are not generated.

Are you maybe referring to receipts instead?

It might help our customer, which was who was actually questioning on why payments with Sofort didn't generate Invoices on Stripe side.
However, take this payment for instance: https://dashboard.stripe.com/acct_1ISlyXIkpUd1U5On/payments/pi_3PSje3IkpUd1U5On2mxbg6FI

Stripe Login | Sign in to the Stripe Dashboard

Sign in to the Stripe Dashboard to manage business payments and operations in your account. Manage payments and refunds, respond to disputes and more.

#

In the logs, you can see the request made from our application was for a PaymentIntent. However we do get logs about an Invoice.

#

Wasn't this invoice created automatically by Stripe. Would this be related to the fact that we save the payment method to that user before confirming PaymentIntent?

#

Oh, I see that in that invoice's log there is a request from our application... I will have to double check where that is made.

👍

#

fwiw that invoice was created by the platform by calling the API explicitly
https://dashboard.stripe.com/logs/req_IiZafONoWsGQoJ

#

It does not seem like that was paid with a sofort payment method though

cedar nebula Aug 14, 2024, 2:24 PM

#

Yeah, that wasn't, that is why I thought there was some specific flow Stripe followed when charging with some methods, but not Sofort

#

Ok, this might be my bad then. Thanks for taking the time to answer, if will let someone on discod knows if I have more questions
