Hi @burnt ember! Both options are possible, it depends on your needs. What are you trying to do?

In general I would say:

• If you want to bill specific customers for some specific amount, use invoices
• If you want to sell some kind of product to any of your customers, use a PaymentIntent. You could also use Checkout or Payment Link in this case.

Hmmm, I'm doing everything by code and API integration

So it's okay logical to not generate invoices for everything

Also, is there a way to get a receipt by API? I didn't find that in the docs, I think it's not possible?

If you don't need invoices, then yes absolutely!

The charge object has receipt_url property https://stripe.com/docs/api/charges/object#charge_object-receipt_url
