#

you can use Invoicing if you want

#

and there's not really a time restriction

#

since you're using MIT payments

#

MIT = merchant initiated transactions

would it be possible to autocharge users off session once the admin approves the order? when the creation of the invoice would happen in this case, when the user selects items or on approval of the admin? meaning i’d have to edit the products in the invoice or create a final version on approval?

I assume auto_advance property is what I need?

hi! I'm taking over this thread.

#

can you explain in more details your payment flow?

rare canyon Jan 24, 2025, 11:03 AM

#

that’s what im trying to figure out 🙂
user selects products.
we save payment info, but do not charge

admin then approves/edits order and thats when the charging would happen, preferably using invoices api so the user has history of selected products.

#

so essentially the question is it possible to charge off session using invoices api

#

I apologize if i’m being confusing, please lmk if anything else needs clarification

#

assuming you already have a payment method saved, then sure you can create an Invoice with collection_method: charge_automatically, and Stripe will try to charge the customer directly.

#

https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/create?lang=node#create_invoice-collection_method

#

however note that the payment ca fail for many reasons (insufffisant funds, 3DS requested, etc.)

#

great, do I also need to pass auto_advance: true in this case?

edgy ocean Jan 24, 2025, 11:12 AM

#

yes that makes sense.

#

I recommend testing all of this in test mode to make sure it works as you expect.
