Stripe Checkout One-Time Payments - Billing Portal does not show payment history/invoices

Question

I am using Stripe and Billing Portal.

If the user subscribes to a plan - after successful payment invoice.paid webhook event is triggered and it can be used to know if the payment was completed successfully. Also, when user visits Billing Portal - he can see that payment under "Payments history" and view/download PDF invoices.

However, if it's a one-time payment, once when user pays - he just gets redirected back (to the specified success_url and I receive checkout.session.completed webhook which, I guess, is the only way to really know if the payment was really successful (because, for one-time payments, Stripe does not send invoice.paid webhook).

The problem is that, after successful one-time payment, on Billing Portal user cannot see it under "Payment history" nor there's invoice for that payment.

I was checking the documentation and I couldn't find anything/any configuration option that would enable showing one-time payments and their invoices under "Payment history" on Billing Portal.

Is there such option, or one-time payments simply cannot appear under "Payment history"/users cannot see invoices for one-time payments on Billing Portal?

Answer 1

No Invoice objects are created with one-time payments and any receipts relating to one-time payments are not accessible via the Billing Portal. This is not configurable currently!

Answer 2

I had the same problem and found out that this is now available within Stripe see:

https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/object#checkout_session_object-invoice_creation

When you set

 'invoice_creation'    => ['enabled' => true]

an invoice is created for one time payments as well and the Invoice is visible in the billing portal for customers.
