#Stripe Invoicing

Stripe Invoicing is a global invoicing software platform built to save you time and get you paid faster.

In OpenMeter you can configure the default payment method and currency to use for payments per customer and billing profile.

#Simplified Checkout Experience

To simplify onboarding customers and collecting payments, OpenMeter provides a simple API to create a customer and generate a Stripe Checkout link. With a single API call you can:

• Create an OpenMeter Customer (or use an existing one)
• Attribute Metered Usage to the customer
• Create a Stripe customer (or use an existing one)
• Generate a Stripe Checkout URL to the payment form

Example API Request:

curl  -X POST \
  'https://openmeter.cloud/api/v1/stripe/checkout/sessions' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer my-token' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{
  "customer": {
    "name": "ACME, Inc.",
    "currency": "USD",
    "usageAttribution": { "subjectKeys": ["my-identifier"] }
  },
  "options": {
    "successUrl": "https://example.com/success"
  }
}'

You'll receive a Stripe Checkout Session URL in response, ready to securely capture payment information.
