Yep, should be possible! Is there a Stripe API/UI you've been using already?

#

To confirm, you only want the one-time payment on the initial invoice?

#

Here's how you can do it with the Checkout Sessions API: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/how-checkout-works#mixed-cart

How Checkout works

Checkout is a low-code payment integration that creates a customizable form for collecting payments. Checkout supports more than 40 payment methods. You can accept payments by embedding Checkout directly in your website or by creating a customized checkout page with Stripe Elements.

I've been using the subscription based product and the Stripe payment gateway. Also yes, I just need an initial payment up front along with month 1 for the subscription.

#

An example API request and/or object ID, or some code would help me better understand what specifically you're using. 'Payment gateway' doesn't really make sense in this context

I don't know as I'm using the 'Stripe Billing storefront' plugin for Wordpress. That connects to my Stripe dashboard and I've setup a 'subscription' based product in that

You'd likely need to speak to whoever builds/maintains the plugin then as to whether it is supported. As you're using a plugin, you don't really control your integration so we can't really help you directly beyond say your use case is possible

The plugin is supplied by Stripe.

#

Not really sure about that, I've never heard of it. Can you send me a link to it?

#

hmm, I may need to chat to my lead dev, I'm now questioning if he has made a plugin that's using API's.... Can I get back to you later on this thread?

Sure
