👋 Welcome to your new thread!

Do you have an example payment ID (pi_xxx) where you expected an invoice?

#

wow, you are fast. i should avoid providing identifiable data in this chat, right?

bold crane
#

An object ID like pi_xxx is fine but yes no PII

#

Looks like you/your plugin is using the Payment Intents API directly. There's no way to create payment invoices with that API

#

You'd either need to use Checkout, or Invoicing directly

misty ravine
#

What does that mean in my case?

bold crane
#

Whatever code you wrote/plugin you're using needs to use different Stripe APIs if you want an invoice

misty ravine
#

Ok

#

I will check it out with the platform then

Thank you!

#

But if Stripe has the transactions recorded, why can't it just generate invoices? 😄

bold crane
#

Because Payment Intents don't support ancillary data that are needed for invoices, namely line items, etc

#

As I said, we have APIs that support invoices but a direct Payment Intents is not one of them
