@hmreumann The question was never how to generate a PDF, it was to send the PDF as an attachment in email via notifications. Also, this thread is from 2018. A lot has changed in cashier and stripe since then.

Regardless, Dompdf is what we're calling when we say use PDF, as the installation of Dompdf has you set that as an alias in your app config.

Glad you found a solution that works for you.
