$invoiceItem = $stripe->invoices->create([
'description' => 'Credits',
'customer' => $customer_id, // Replace with actual customer ID
'collection_method' => 'charge_automatically',
]);
// Step 2: Create the invoice and set to auto-charge
$invoice = $stripe->invoiceItems->create([
'customer' => $customer_id, // Same customer ID
'invoice' => $invoiceItem->id,
'unit_amount' => 1000, // $10.00
'currency' => 'usd',
]);
$stripe->invoices->finalizeInvoice($invoiceItem->id, ['auto_advance' => true]);

Hello again 👋 I believe that email behavior is suppressed in testmode/sandboxes.
https://docs.stripe.com/test-mode#test-email
but you can configure emails to be sent when the Invoice is finalized:
https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing/send-email#customer-emails
If you want a link to a hosted UI where customers can complete paying for the Invoice, I'd suggest seeing if the hosted_invoice_url matches what you're looking for:
