hello! Can you share more about your use case? Typically if you want invoices, you would create an Invoice instead of a PaymentIntent.
upper bridge
our users make a purchase
2 types
- Subscription - everything is fine here, the invoice is created by itself
- One-time purchase using payment intent, now it is necessary to issue the user an invoice for a one-time purchase, I do not understand how to do this, and I did not find a way in the documentation

Does this work for you - https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing/integration?method=elements? In this guide, it shows how you can create an Invoice, and the customer makes payment using the Payment Element which is initalized from the Invoice's PaymentIntent
upper bridge
not quite suitable because the user has already made a payment by creating an invoice separately suggests a repeat payment in my case

What I originally meant is that in the future, instead of creating a PaymentIntent, you should create an Invoice.
To answer your question, if you’re dealing with an already paid PaymentIntent, the best approach is to create an Invoice and then mark it as paid out of band. You should also update both the Invoice and PaymentIntent with metadata that references the IDs of the other object.
