@hot shell Hello! I'm sorry I don't really follow what that sentence could mean. Can I ask you to explain it a bit differently?
hot shell
I'd like to invoice my customers on a regular basis based on usage. I know I can use a subscription for this. I want to send out an invoice every Monday, but then charge via ACH on tuesday. Can i use stripe to send an automated invoice with custom email (Hi Customer, Here is your invoice for the previous week...).

@hot shell what is the reasoning to send on Monday and charge on Tuesday though? Why not just charge and email the invoice at the same time?
hot shell
customer satisfaction - the subscription pricing is variable based on usage, so we want to allow room to raise concerns

you can't really raise concerns though, if they had any you can't edit the invoice after the fact, and 24 hours is unlikely to be enough to handle changes/delays on your end. I've never seen anyone approach it this way before at least
What you could do is switch to send_invoice as the type of invoice so we email them, you can set a due date and handle the automatic charge logic on your end in that case
hot shell
that's perfect - even if it automatically collects after 1/2 days. What i'm curious about is how flexible the email template for the invoice is

We don't offer much flexibility beyond branding (logo/color)
hot shell
can we download the invoice via an api?

great - thank you!
