hi! You can pass ad-hoc items if you use CheckoutSessions instead of PaymentLinks; but PaymentLinks do require Price/Product objects. Beyond that and the creation of a Stripe Invoice object is not mandatory for a one-time PaymentLink or CheckoutSession so perhaps there's some confusion.

So, if we want to bill a bunch of adhoc line items without having to create an invoices, checkout sessions is the way to go?
With this, will be able to utilize hosted payment pages?
*will we

CheckoutSessions are the same hosted page that PaymentLinks is
to be clear neither Checkout nor PaymentLink require Invoices, so as I said probably there's a misunderstanding, hard to say without more information like the code you're using, object IDs, screenshots, etc

Understood. Sorry, still trying understand a bit more before jumping to execution. If we use checkout sessions, will our user be able to see them in their Stripe accounts? Currently, we are creating invoices, so they see them. If we use checkout sessions, is there a page in Stripe where they can see all the charges that have been made?
digital dirge
yes there is a page that shows transactions/charges
