Does calling the Send Invoice API work? (you likely have to try in prod)

#

hmmm, I don't know. I'm not sure I have a valid invoice yet in prod.

#

Yeah I'd recommend trying that way quickly
Otherwise try to look at what the Dashboard does to resend that Invoice

I think the right way is to call the Update PaymentIntent API and pass receipt_email and that resends the associated Invoice email but that can't be tested in Test mode

#

oh, I guess I could pay the invoice out of band.

#

I won't get charged for that on my production account, will I?

Hi 👋

I'm stepping in as my colleague has to go soon

#

When you "I won't get charged", what do you mean? Do you mean will we charge the customer or do you mean Stripe fees will apply?

mellow spear Jan 15, 2026, 5:12 PM

#

Stripe fees. I was going to create a one off invoice to myself in prod, and then mark it as paid out of band to test.

#

Unfortunately I cannot speak directly to Stripe fees. I am also unsure why you would do that to test resending receipts.

This is what was suggested here

novel halo Jan 15, 2026, 5:14 PM

#

Yes I cannot speak to whether or not this would incur fees. That's a good question for our Support team here: https://support.stripe.com/contact

mellow spear Jan 15, 2026, 5:14 PM

#

since emails do not get sent in nonprod envs.

#

is there some other way to determine how to re-send invoice payment receipts via the API?

novel halo Jan 15, 2026, 5:17 PM

#

I agree with my colleague that updating the Payment Intent's receipt_email is likely the best approach.

We do state that, under certain conditions, we will send emails from a Sandbox account: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/revenue-recovery/customer-emails#test-your-configuration. But this can be VERY finicky and doesn't always work. I suggest testing it out but would not recommend relying solely on it.

ok, let me give it a shot.
