Overview
After we separated the payment from contribution, the payment now separately sends a receipt to the user even though the contribution creation process will still send a receipt to the user, which will also consider whether the user checks the "Email Confirmation" box or not.
Before
The payment recording process sends a payment receipt to the user during payment creation.
After
The payment recording process no longer sends a payment receipt to the user during payment creation. Instead, the contribution recording process handles sending receipts to users, considering their preference for receiving email confirmations.
Technical Details
This happens because the default value of is_send_contribution_notification to the payment.create API is TRUE, we need to set it to FALSE and let the contribution recording process decide when to send email notifications to users.
