Hi,

In Odoo, when using a payment acquirer (like Stripe or PayPal) in test mode, the payment is typically captured automatically when the customer confirms the order. This means that the transaction is registered on the Sales Order level, but the Invoice is not yet created or posted.

The key thing to understand is that Odoo separates the Sales Order, Invoice, and Payment processes:

1. Sales Order is confirmed → triggers the payment via the payment acquirer.
2. Invoice is generated manually unless your settings automate this.
3. Registering the payment on the invoice depends on whether automatic reconciliation is configured.

If you're seeing a second payment request after clicking "Create Invoice," it likely means:

• The system is creating a new invoice, but there's no link to the payment that was already registered on the Sales Order.
• The invoice is being sent to the customer without being marked as paid.

Hope it helps
