The payment method Billie causes a lot of headache on our end because it's buy now pay later. We cannot use it with invoices, which is already an insane limitation. Is there any smart way to link the payment intend to the invoice in some way? I know I can probably do this via metadata but that seems like a hack.

#

So the current flow is the customer buys something with Billie and the payment intent is created that is in status "uncaptured". As soon as the goods leave our warehouse, we capture the payment and create an invoice that is marked as paid out of band. This works fine but I want to natively connect the invoice to the payment intent somehow so that when we query data these are always fetched together.

#

This seems like an impossible thing to do and I really don't understand why it's not possible or how it would be possible

I have to say the Stripe support is insane though. Keep telling other companies that if they would work like the Stripe Discord support, the world would be a much better place

I'll share that with my team, thank you ❤️

#

My initial look tells me storing the Invoice ID on the PaymentIntent's metadata / PaymentIntent ID on the Invoice's metadata is the best solution... but I'm double checking!

#

What is your business location?

germany

#

mhmm I know I can do it via metadata but seems very very hacky

I did find a private preview feature for payment on invoice with buy now pay later that you might want to sign up for early access to: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/rechnung

#

It's only available for businesses in Germany.
