Hosted Invoice Page

The Hosted Invoice Page provides a secure, private URL where your customers can:

• View the details, amounts, and status of the invoice.
• Pay the invoice using any of the enabled payment methods.
• Download PDF copies of the invoice and receipt.

A sample Hosted Invoice Page

Stripe assigns all invoices a unique URL that you can send to your customer. We host these invoices, which means you can securely collect payments without any extra implementation code.

Invoice URLs

When you create and send an invoice, Stripe generates a unique URL for the Hosted Invoice Page. The URL includes a secure, long, and random identifier, resembling the following example:

https://invoice.stripe.com/i/acct_abcdefghijklmno/test_YWNjdF8xRGZ3UzJDbENJS2xqV3ZzLF9MNGJvMDBzY0xFQ2c1cG1QZzZ6Wk5jV0RXR2lOS1V6LDM0Mjk3NjEz0200wpYOWgBE?s=em

Invoice URLs expire 30 days after the due date. If the invoice doesn’t have a due date, the invoice expires 30 days after it finalizes. In all cases, the expiration window is never longer than 120 days.

Invoice email links

You can configure the invoice email to include a link to the Hosted Invoice Page. When enabled, the Hosted Invoice Page URL appears in:

• Invoice emails as a payment link.
• The footer of invoice PDFs.
• The Invoice API response as hosted_invoice_url.

To enable the Hosted Invoice Page for all newly created invoices, select the checkbox for Include a link to a payment page in the invoice email in the Invoice settings of the Dashboard.

When sending an invoice, you can use the Delivery section to have Stripe automatically send an email to your customer with the Hosted Invoice Page or generate a Hosted Invoice Page that you can send yourself. To send the Hosted Invoice Page yourself, create the invoice and then copy the link to send to your customer.

Page customization

The Hosted Invoice Page is customizable with your:

• Brand color
• Logo
• Icon

You can customize these branding settings in the Dashboard.

Set allowed payment methods

Using the Hosted Invoice Page, you can configure invoices to allow payment with one or more of the supported payment methods. You can set defaults to apply to all of the newly created invoices from the Invoice default payment method configuration. You can also select the payment method on a per-invoice basis when you’re creating an invoice through the Dashboard.

With the Hosted Invoice Page, you can display the allowed payment method list to the customer. This gives them the option to choose a payment method that suits them best. Additionally, enabling the Hosted Invoice Page gives the customer the benefit of having Stripe handle complex payment and authentication flows (without any extra implementation effort from you).

Payment method persistence

You can configure how payment method details that customers enter on the Hosted Invoice Page are saved for future use. By default, Stripe doesn’t store payment methods used for one-time payments, unless the customer opts in using a checkbox displayed on the Hosted Invoice Page.

When a customer returns to the Hosted Invoice Page, saved payment methods with allow_redisplay of always are displayed and available to use.

Configuration Options

The following configurations are available for storing payment methods used for one-time invoice payments on the Hosted Invoice Page.

1. Offer: Payment methods for one-time invoices are saved only if the customer selects a checkbox displayed before completing payment. (Default for new accounts created after May 30, 2025.)
   • If your integration uses the deprecated Sources API for invoices or uses card installments, this checkbox won’t be displayed, so the payment method won’t be saved since the customer can’t provide consent.
   • Have terms in place with the customer about how you plan to use payment methods that they decide to save.
   • allow_redisplay is set to always if the customer selects the checkbox, and limited if they don’t.
2. Never: Payment methods used for one-time invoices aren’t saved.
   • allow_redisplay is set to limited.
3. Always: Payment methods used for one-time invoices are always saved, without asking the customer.
   • Saving payment methods without explicit customer permission can violate privacy regulations in many jurisdictions. Before selecting this option, make sure that it complies with local laws.
   • allow_redisplay is set to limited.

Dashboard

To configure saving payment methods, use the controls in the Default payment terms section of the Invoice settings page of your Dashboard. To enable saving payment methods, select Save customer payment information. To allow saving without asking the customer first, deselect Ask customers before saving their payment information.

API

You can configure saving payment methods for connected accounts by using the Accounts API. When you create or update an Account, set the settings.invoices.hosted_payment_method_save property to never, offer, or always.

Limitations

If saving a payment method is enabled, the Hosted Invoice Page only saves reusable payment methods. These payment methods include:

• Cards
• Link
• Pre-authorized Debit
• BECS Direct Debit
• Bacs Direct Debit
• SEPA Direct Debit
• ACH Direct Debit

Overrides

Some cases override this setting, depending on the invoice and account properties. This only applies to payment methods that are reusable (see list above).

• If the invoice has an attached subscription, the payment method is saved only if the customer doesn’t have a default invoice payment method.
• If your Stripe account allows customers to schedule payments and the customer chooses to schedule their invoice payment, the payment method is always saved.
• If card installments is enabled on the invoice and by the customer, the payment method is always saved.
• If the invoice’s attached PaymentIntent has a setup_future_usage value of off_session or on_session, the payment method is always saved.
• If your integration uses the deprecated Sources API to collect hosted invoice payments, the offer configuration doesn’t save customer payment methods. Those cases don’t support the customer consent checkbox, so the customer can’t provide consent.

Let customers pay in their local currency

Adaptive Pricing lets your customers pay in their local currency in more than 150 countries on your Hosted Invoice Page. With Adaptive Pricing, Stripe infers the presentment currency from the customer’s public IP address, then automatically calculates the localized price and handles all currency conversion. Manage Adaptive Pricing for Hosted Invoice Pages in your payment settings in the Dashboard.

Public support information

Invoices include any public information that you specified under Public business information, such as your support email address or business website. Using these settings, you can also choose to include a support phone number in customer-facing documents—like invoice PDFs and emails—or default to your business address.
