Hi there 👋 trying to make sure I'm understanding correctly. Is your concern about a link being included in the emails that we send?

young mason
#

Hi @narrow forge yes, I want to use sendInvoice but have the email not include the "Pay this invoice" button or the PDF from having a link to the payment page.

This is the PDF one

As far as I'm aware, that isn't adjustable from code.

#

But I'm also not spotting any settings within my dashboard that look like they'd be able to turn that off.

#

Suppressing those may be a dashboard only feature, but I'd suggest reaching out to our Support team to confirm if there is a setting available that I'm not aware of that adjsuts that behavior.

When you create a draft for an Inovice in the dashboard it is here

#

Got it got it, so this config might not be available via API

#

I'll reach out to Support, but are any of these 2 workarounds possible?

  • Delete or Remove the Payment Page after it gets created?
  • Create the invoice with no payment methods and then charge using a registered payment method?
narrow forge
#

No, you can't remove the references to our Hosted Invoice Page from the Invoice object.

Yes, Invoices can be created without a Payment Method, then our endpoint for paying Invoices can be called which accepts a payment_method parameter to specify the Payment Method you want to charge:

Beautiful! Thanks a lot @narrow forge I'll investigate all avenues! Cheers!

narrow forge
#

Any time! I'll be around for a bit if that doesn't do what you're hoping.

young mason
#

Thank you! I'll probably not manage to test it before this thread closes but the second alternative leaves me with enough information to work around this.

I'll post here if I make it in time tho! Cheers!

Just tried out not setting payment methods in Invoice creation and it configures a default.

I finalized and sent the invoice and the payment links and options are all there

#

Seems option 2 is not going to work unfortunately...

#

Maybe I can dig 2 levels deeper to the actual root cause of the issue:

We only receive ACH transfers with the us_bank_account payment method, however, the payment link doesn't allow the Customer to use a pre configured Payment Method that is not a card.

#

Is there a way for the customer to pay through the Payment Page without having to set up the bank account from scratch?

narrow forge
#

Oh wait, that page talks about the setting I was looking for.

young mason
#

Yesss

narrow forge
#

Ah, I see the setting now! Not sure how I missed it earlier. Let me grab a link and screenshot.

#

Can you check whether that's checked in your account?

young mason
#

It was, going to re-test with the change!

#

I saved the config but its still sending the link xD

#

I waited a min and ran it again and its working now!

narrow forge
#

Yess!!

young mason
#

The behaviour is the following:

  • PDF and email get created without the link
  • Payment Link exists with all the defalut payment methods but is not easily accessible to the user
#

Just tried out removing all payment methods except customer_balance which shows Bank Transfer only and there are no "active" ways to pay with the link so this definitely works!

Conclusion

  • Change Invoice Config
  • Create Invoice with customer_balance
  • Send Invoice
  • Charge later with invoice.pay by passing the pre-registered ACH Bank Account Payment Method id
  • All's good with the world
#

Thanks a lot @narrow forge really saved it! Customer Support confirmed that the link is not configurable through the API so I was thinking about bypassing this all together xD
