A support person told me in the past that this was possible via a setting, but that the invoices would be accompanied by their respective customer email, and we do not want the customer to receive this email from Stripe. Is this information correct? Is this still the case?

Hi 👋 Checkout Sessions for one-time payments can be configured to generate paid invoices when they're completed, by setting invoice_creation.enabled to true when creating the session:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-invoice_creation
We talk about this feature in a bit more detail here:
https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/receipts?payment-ui=stripe-hosted#paid-invoices-hosted

#

I'm less familiar with the email behavior that accompanies this feature (in general my teammates and I in this forum aren't too familiar with email generating functionality, as it is rarely controlled via our API which is what we specialize in helping with) but based on what I'm seeing in that guide, it does look like the invoices are automatically emailed to the customers. I'm not sure if that is only if you enable emails for successful payments though.

#

In case I can't get the invoices generated without the emails being sent, how can I achieve the same via API?

#

The only thing I would need is an invoice with ‘paid’ status for the amount that has been paid from the Checkout.

#

Hello taking over as toby has to step away

#

Again, we're not sure about the email functionality here, but have you tried disabling this in your dashboard settings? To generate invoices, first, in your Customer emails settings, under Email customers about, select Successful payments.

#

If Email customers about Successful payments is disabled I don't think we'll send the invoice if you pass invoice_creation[enabled] to true.

#

Recommend trying it

bleak forge Apr 23, 2025, 2:26 PM

#

Ok, I'll try it

#

and regarding my second question? about generating invoice manually via API

cold aurora Apr 23, 2025, 2:28 PM

#

Would need to use https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/create to create it and then pay it out of band via: https://support.stripe.com/questions/marking-an-invoice-paid-out-of-band

bleak forge Apr 23, 2025, 2:42 PM

#

Then only calling to /v1/invoices/:id/pay after the Invoice creation will marks the invoice as paid without attempting any kind of payment collection?

cold aurora Apr 23, 2025, 2:43 PM

#

No

#

You need to explicitly pass paid_out_of_band per the above article

Ohm ok, I've not noticed this detail in the docs
