I am working with Stripe Payment Gateway and everything is working so far, except the option, that my users can download their invoice on my website. It is possible to download an invoice inside the stripe dashboard but that is not what I need. After my users made a payment, they should be able to download their invoices to my system.
Currently I am working with stripe webhooks. A user makes a payment and the data is saved inside my database. This is how my code looks like:
\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey("$stripe_secret_key_test");
// Retrieve the request's body and parse it as JSON:
$input = @file_get_contents('php://input');
$event_json = json_decode($input);
// Update database with new billing entry
if ($event_json->type == 'invoice.payment_succeeded') {
$invoice_id = $event_json->data->object->id;
$customer = $event_json->data->object->customer;
$date = $event_json->data->object->date;
$price = $event_json->data->object->amount_paid;
$user = $event_json->data->object->lines->data[0]->metadata->userid;
$stripe_sub_id = $event_json->data->object->lines->data[0]->id;
$plan_id = $event_json->data->object->lines->data[0]->plan->id;
$stamp_created = $event_json->data->object->lines->data[0]->plan->created;
$comments = $event_json->data->object->lines->data[0]->plan->nickname;
$period_start = $event_json->data->object->lines->data[0]->period->start;
$period_end = $event_json->data->object->lines->data[0]->period->end;
$content=array("invoice"=>$invoice_id,
"user"=>$user,
"stripe_cust_id"=>$customer,
"stripe_sub_id"=>$stripe_sub_id,
"idea_id"=>0,
"billing_date"=>$date,
"plan"=>$plan_id,
"price"=>$price,
"stamp_created"=>$stamp_created,
"period_start"=>$period_start,
"period_end"=>$period_end,
"status"=>'paid',
"printed"=>0);
insertGWInfo('billing',$content);
$content=array("user"=>$user,
"trans_time"=>date("Y-m-d H:i:s"),
"ip"=>$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'],
"trans_type"=>1,
"cash_amount"=>$price,
"comments"=>"Subscription for ".$comments."",
"idea_id"=>0);
insertGWInfo('user_accounting',$content);
}
Now I´ve created a table where I fetch those entries from my database and display them to my customer. I would like to have a button now with "Download Invoice" where my customers can download the subscription invoice which appears monthly.
Any idea how I can do this? I have the invoice_id but where do I get the URL to download an invoice? I wasn´t able to find anything inside the stripe docs. Any help would be really appreciated.

Stripe Invoicing is a global invoicing software platform built to save you time and get you paid faster. Create an invoice and send it to your customers in minutes—no code required. Our advanced features and Invoicing API make it easy to automate accounts receivable, collect payments, and reconcile transactions.
When charging automatically, Stripe will attempt to pay this invoice using the default source attached to the customer. When sending an invoice, Stripe will email this invoice to the customer with payment instructions. Defaults to charge_automatically. An arbitrary string attached to the object.
For ACH Credit payments, Stripe generates virtual bank account numbers to keep your company’s banking details private and automatically reconciles incoming payments with outstanding invoices. Stripe can act as the first line of defense to help you eliminate unpaid invoices.
Automate accounts receivable processes and reduce time spent tracking and collecting invoice payments. Stripe’s advanced invoicing features can help your finance and operational teams save time with previously manual workflows like payment reconciliation and invoice collections.
Stripe DOES support this now. The PDF link is available by listing the invoices via the API and accessing the invoice_pdf
attribute of an invoice.
Here's how you can get an array of invoices with their PDF links:
const invoicesResponse = await stripe.invoices.list({ customer: customerStripeId });
const invoices = invoicesResponse.map(invoice => ({
invoiceId: invoice['id'],
pdf: invoice['invoice_pdf'],
}));
return invoices;
Here's the API docs: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-invoice_pdf Thanks @avelis for the suggestion.
Stripe does not support downloading the invoice as a PDF at the moment via the API and it is only available in the dashboard instead.
For now, the best solution is to build your own invoice receipt/pdf instead. You can retrieve the Invoice object via the API which tells you what the invoice is for: period, amount, when it was paid, what's in that invoice, etc. And you can then generate your own receipt for your customers on your end.
it is posible :) works like a charm with the Python API.
import stripe
import requests
stripe_keys = {'secret_key': 'XXXxxxx','publishable_key': 'XXXxxxx'}
stripe.api_key = stripe_keys['secret_key']
stripe_subscription_id = 'XXXXXXX'
invoices = stripe.Invoice.list(subscription=stripe_subscription_id)
for inv in invoices:
pdf = inv.invoice_pdf
invoice_file = requests.get(pdf)
open('C://User//XXXXX//Desktop//invoice.pdf', 'wb').write(invoice_file.content)
