#MarvinSchramm - Manual Capture
inland mirage
Hello!
lethal glen
Invoices must be created first, Payment Intents are created from them.
Alternatively you can generate receipts from Payment Intents.

the receipt sadly is not enough
I realised that we can generate the Invoice first,
but can we set the "capture_mode" on the payment intent that is generated from the invoice to manual?
i also saw that when I create tjhe invoice its initially in draft (thats what we want) but as long as its in draft there is no payment intent

Not that you can, you have to generate the invoice first if you want to have a Payment Intent connected with an Invoice.
And manual auth and capture are not currently supported for either Subscriptions or one-off invoices.

Okay thats a good info.
So the only way for us is to create an invoice afterwards and mark it as PaidOutOfBand
and correlate the payment on our side
or do you advise against that?

I mean, you can do that if you absolutely need an invoice record. It would just be entirely up to your integration to track the relationship, maybe using some key:value pairs in the metadata property for either Invoice or Payment Intent

Sadly the Invoice is an absolute requirement.(we used receipts so far but legal wise thats not compliant with what we do 😦 )
And we really like the invoicing features stripe (we use it for subscriptions)

That's understandable
