# Does Stripe send receipts for $0 Invoices?

A $0 Invoice does not automatically send a receipt, even if you have automatic email receipts enabled in your [account settings](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/emails). Stripe does not send a receipt if a charge has not been made.
This behavior also applies to Invoices where the total amount due does not meet the [minimum allowed charge](https://stripe.com/docs/currencies#minimum-and-maximum-charge-amounts) for the Invoice’s currency. When an Invoice does not meet the minimum charge per currency it is marked as automatically paid and the owed amount is added to the [Customer’s credit balance](https://stripe.com/docs/billing/customer/balance). No email receipt is sent.
It is possible for you to send receipts for $0 Invoices by triggering them manually through the Dashboard or by customizing your integration to send the email receipt yourself (without using Stripe receipts).
Note that if the Invoice has `collection_method: send_invoice`, Stripe sends an email to the associated Customer with payment instructions. These emails will have different subject lines than the receipt emails and will not include a receipt number.
