Hi there! CJ isn't available at the moment. But I'm happy to help if you have a question?

Hey Bismark.

So I asked a question which apparently CJ knew the answer despite asking this a few more times here.

#

the scenario is the following.

I can't seem to be able to create an invoice for one time payments.

#

from the checkout session.

#

This is possible with recurring payments (subscriptions)

Hi 👋 I'm stepping in for @tiny saffron . This currently isn't something you can do with Checkout. We are looking into it.

#

is there a deadline for this? This is such a shame. We really have to move our invoice system to a different software...:(

#

We do not have an ETA for this feature presently, sorry

shy wharf
#

gotcha. Thank you 🙂

#

any workarounds?

#

In Stripe we create Invoice objects first before we collect a payment. You can create an invoice for a set amount using our API and then we have a hosted Invoice page link you can provide to your customer.

#

and that is an invoice that does not require payment or anything

#

?

fair wind
#

No, the Invoice creates a Payment Intent that requires being paid

#

You create the Invoice first, that defines the payment you need to collect

#

as well as what the user is paying for

#

then you collect the funds from your customer

#

so, it goes goes like this.

  1. user sees invoice.
  2. Click's pay.
  3. user Gets redirected to checkout.
  4. user pays the invoice.
  5. Users gets to see the invoice at any point
#

is this correct ?

Not checkout. This isn't a checkout session. The URL generated is in the Invoice object you create using the API.
