Hah. This is in fact a problem area that our Billing (https://stripe.com/billing) team is actively thinking about. You should reach out to ark@stripe.com if you want to discuss -- he can connect you with the right folks.



There is a pretty simple feature that would alleviate a lot of pain with Stripe’s billing service when invoicing enterprises - allow for attaching a pdf of the invoice in the automated email.

Many enterprise A/P departments require it. The lack of this feature has prevented us from moving off our existing invoicing system to Stripe. I’m guessing we are not unique.


It's not just enterprise - many small / mid size places are much much happier (myself included) with an invoice attached.

AWS gets this right (even though invoice is high level). You get something that can be quickly forwarded down / up and around and end up in the AP system / accounting system etc in good shape (ie, vs a 6 page PDF of an email chain). They just care that third party invoice is there in good shape with approval by whoever owns the expense line its hitting.


It's not quite the same, but you can get the PDF from the Invoice object and send your own emails.
