Send Invoice
The Stripe integration in Glide has only one feature — Send Invoice. This makes it easy to create and send invoices to customers right from your app and can be added inside a component that supports actions or added to an action sequence in the Action Editor.
The table below describes each of the fields. Note that at this time, the Stripe integration can only send one time invoices. Recurring invoices will not work.
The email to send the invoice to
Example: user@example.com
The total amount to charge in the invoice
This must be the smallest currency unit. (ie. For 50.00, send 5000. For 14.25, send 1425.)
Example: 5000
The currency to use for the invoice
You can find a full list of supported currencies https://stripe.com/docs/currencies.
Example: USD
An existing product ID to use for the invoice
