What are you trying to achieve, ultimately?
To send invoices from Stripe
You described using the Payment Intents API, but then asked about Invoice-related webhook events so I am not clear what you're trying to do.
If you want to send invoices, you would need to use the Invoices API, not Payment Intents.
My current integration is using only payment intents API, my current integration is using a webhook, and i was wondering if i select invoicing/checkout events to send to the webhook if it would be enough for it to work as intended
That is unlikely to do what you seem to expect
This is the webhook: we_1QmrBJHEYaQTKFK5YeVjrP9L
If you're using only the payment intents API, there will be no invoice events created at all.
https://prnt.sc/xfVmLTbHY31v and i see i have here different invoicing and checkout events
Webhook events (when applicable) are sent to you via your configured endpoint, and from there you can decide if you need to do something with them.
I am thinking that if i send those events using the webhook that would be the equivalent of the invoicing api or something
That's just a list of all possible events you can listen to on an endpoint
No, not at all
If you want to create and send Invoices, you need to use the Invoices API: https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing/integration
Events are generated based on requests to the API & automatic behaviour on API objects to inform you of things happening
ok, and for example if my website is on wordpress/woocommerce, will this work with a plugin or should i insert the code somewhere?
I'm not sure if there is a plugin for invoices or if you need to build it. You'd need to ask WooCommerce about that.
hmm, why isn't this a common problem; doesn't everyone need to send invoices with stripe or how do they do it?
or do people commonly send invoices using another app?
I'm not sure what conventions are for WooCommerce, but using Stripe directly you can send invoice via the API or using the Dashboard, so people will use what fits their needs.
Is it possible you're referring to receipts following payment, rather than actual invoices?
If you mean payment receipts then you can have those sent automatically by setting the receipt_email on a Payment Intent: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/advanced/receipts#automatically-send-receipts
i am referring to invoices, receipts are sent successfully
What does using stripe directly mean, so without woocommerce?
Yes, using your Dashboard or our API. WooCommerce is providing you with a different UI and abstraction over the Stripe API, and they may or may not make certain features available.
So if its not something you can find, you should ask them whether they support invoices
Ok. Thank you
NP!
what does 'using your dashboard' mean? creating invoices from here or something? https://dashboard.stripe.com/invoices
Sign in to the Stripe Dashboard to manage business payments and operations in your account. Manage payments and refunds, respond to disputes and more.
Yes, exactly
ok
