Add support for Afterpay payments

Add support for Afterpay payments

Afterpay (also known as Clearpay) is now available for Stripe businesses in the US, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Afterpay is a “buy now, pay later” payment type with 11 million global users and can provide more flexibility for customers at checkout. It works with any kind of Stripe integration, and there's no application, onboarding, or underwriting process to get started.

Can you explain how Firebase lets one have invoices in different currencies for the same customer when all other documentation (such as support.stripe.com/questions/set-o...) indicates that invoices must match the currency of the customer?
