#Oslac-one-off invoices
livid lava
👋 happy to help
you can start by taking a look at this https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing
it is doable either via the dashboard or by the API

We are working with .Net platform, we are using API and now we are getting paid for the product we created with the Checkout process.
However, after the payment, the system does not generate an invoice.
livid lava
you are using Checkout Sessions?
flat prawn
yes
livid lava
would a receipt be an alternative?
Checkout Sessions and invoices with one-time payments are not compatible
flat prawn
What is the difference of invoice and receipt
Is Stipe receipt can generate automatically after checkout succed?
livid lava
an invoice is a request for payment, a receipt is the proof of payment.
flat prawn
Okay I checked receipt and It's not usable for us
What do you suggest us?
We need invoice

What about the invoice is not usable for you as opposed to the receipt?
Another option is that you can create and charge with a one-off Invoice instead of a Checkout Session
flat prawn
Before that Can receipt automatically create after Checkout Session?
tepid peak
Yes it will. They are not generated in test mode though, but you can send test receipts from the dashboard to see what they look like
To have Checkout send receipts, you will want to turn on "email customers for successful payments" in your email receipt settings
