3.Some of my users may not require an invoice immediately after payment. Does Stripe provide an API that allows issuing an invoice long after the payment? Or is it mandatory to issue the invoice immediately after payment?
hi bro , see you again

1.When a user triggers an Embedded Checkout and the front-end page shows a successful payment, which method should I use to determine that the payment is truly successful? What status should I check?
https://docs.stripe.com/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=web&ui=embedded-form&lang=node#return-page
2.If I want to issue an invoice to the user, do I need to create a Customer before the Checkout Session, and then pass the obtained customer_id as a parameter in the Checkout Session?

You can always create an invoice with Stripe, but as it's after payment, you need to mark it paid out of band (because the payment was already done before creating the invoice)
https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing/overview#out-of-band-invoices
This is the only workaround I'm seeing for this use case.

I’ve read this documentation, but isn’t the actual credit card payment success usually determined by listening to a webhook?
From my understanding, a payment is truly successful only when Stripe has received the confirmation (acknowledgment) from the bank, right?

Card payments are synchrounious, so if Stripe redirect your customer the success url, then the payment is succeeded.
Webhook are good for backend monitoring or required for async payment methods (like bank transfers)

@somber hull What I probably want to ask is about delayed invoicing. If I pass the customer_id in the Checkout Session, how can I prevent it from automatically creating an invoice? Later, when I want to issue an invoice, I should be able to call your API directly to create it, right?
