hi there!
sure, by default if you use Payment Links or Checkout Session or the Payment Element, no Inovices are created.

Can it be created with adhoc line items withut having to create them as products/services?
patent shard
yes
summer merlin
Where can I find the api for this?
https://docs.stripe.com/payment-links/api
Have been referring to this API, it requires a product id
patent shard
it depends. how are you accepting payments? Checkout Session, Payment Element, something else?
so for Payment Links?
then yes in this case you need to create a Price/Product first.
summer merlin
Currently, we are creating invoices for adhoc line items. We want to create payment links instead
For invoices, we are using hosted invoice from Stripe
patent shard
got it. let me know if you have other questions.
summer merlin
Sorry, I didn't understand the solution. Are we supposed to create products mandatory or can we have payment links with adhoc line items?
patent shard
for Payment Links, you need to create a Price/Product first. you cannot use adhoc line items.
patent shard
what does that mean?
summer merlin
For a Stripe invoice, payment can be automatically collected when there is a default payment method on file. Is such an option available for payment links?
patent shard
no. but if you arelady have a saved payment method, why use a Payment Link? instead you could directly create a PaymentIntent and charge the customer automatically.
summer merlin
This won't create any invoice, correct?
patent shard
no, it won't
