Hi! So you would like Stripe to create the invoices for the subscription, but then you would send it yourself?

yes correct. the goal would be to allow customers to pay recurring invoices with cash or check. so Stripe would create the invoice, and then when the customer hands over cash or a check, the trainer would mark the invoice as "paid out of band". so for this scenario we wouldn't want Stripe sending an email to the customer.

Good question, I'm not sure. Give me a few minutes to look into this.

#

In the dashboard there a setting to disable sending emails for finalized invoices: https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/automatic

#

So you could try collection_method: "send_invoice" with that setting disabled.

perfect, thanks! I think that will solve our issue then.

I would recommend to do some test to check if this works. You could create a live subscription with a short free trial, and see if you receive an email or not.

#

(note that in test mode we never send emails, that's why you should test this in live mode)
