Thanks. Without Stripe Checkout, it's not possible?

Without checkout, really the only way would be to create an invoice and then mark it paid out of band: https://support.stripe.com/questions/marking-an-invoice-paid-out-of-band
high frost
you mean mark it paid out of band before the customer has paid?
The issue is that in France, we are not allowed to issue an invoice that hasn't been paid. So, when a user doesn't pay an invoice or cancels before paying, we are left with an unpaid invoice that will never be settled. This is what I would like to avoid.
And you mean the only solution for us is to use Stripe Checkout? We can't continue using the raw Stripe API ?

You can use the raw stripe api
What i mean is that the customer would need to pay through another means (ie payment element)
Then you can create an invoice after the fact and mark it paid out of band

OK, so in the Stripe interface, I would have an "isolated payment" and an "isolated invoice," not linked together.
And the only way to link these two elements, while ensuring that the invoice is created only if the payment is successful, is by using Stripe Checkout.
Is that correct?
stray knoll
Yes, unfortunately
