HI 👋
Stripe Checkout is a web-based UI that can either be hosted by Stripe or embedded into your website. The Payment Sheet is a mobile payment UI. They are designed for entirely separate situations
What platform are you developing on?
hybrid patrol
Okay so Stripe Checkout does not apply here
Our best practice checkout flow for React Native is this one

Ok..is there a way to generate an invoice for guest checkouts?
hybrid patrol
No. Post-payment invoices are only available via Stripe Checkout.
midnight notch
We like to generate an invoice so stripe can calculate the taxes and we can apply discounts/promo codes
how can i do that for a guest checkout?
hybrid patrol
You could create an Invoice object and use the PaymentSheet to collect payment using the related PaymentIntent
midnight notch
but do i need to have a stripe customer to create that invocie
it seems like i would need a customer
midnight notch
So if I want to do this on guest checkout - how would i accomplish
whats the best practice around this? How do people calculate taxes and discounts without an invoice
is there a way to use the implicit stripe guest customer
hybrid patrol
In that case I think you would need to redirect your users to Stripe-hosted Checkout in a mobile browser.
That way, you can take advantage of the Guest Customer record, line items, taxes, and post-payment invoices
And discounts
midnight notch
is there documentation on that
hybrid patrol
Not specific to redirecting from a mobile app. But essentially you would follow this guide: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=web&ui=stripe-hosted
but ignore the website parts. You would need to use some Expo/React Native specific implementation of opening the Checkout URL in a mobile browser (Chrome, Safari, etc.)
midnight notch
hmm ok
