- get billing default number
it is possible to get stripe default next invoice number in the account over Stripe API? I mean the one that always gets incremented when next invoice was going out.

2/ not possible today no, we number the invoices for you
thats really bad. I am migrating from paypal and we can't migrate everything in 5 seconds. wrong/duplicated invoice numbers is my guess then... which I will need to correct myself. why is this not supported?

nono, i not mean global over one subscription plan, I mean over individual ones. e.g.:
one pro plan 2 customers:
one customer: 20% tax
one other customer: 2% tax
thats basic requirements, stripe should support that
ionic oracle

nothing is "really bad", looks more like a feature request to me. I'd recommend reading this: https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/customize#invoice-numbering-schemes
ionic oracle
nono, i not mean global over one subscription plan, I mean over individual ones....
yeah that is what the parameter i linked you is for. You control it per subscription
ionic oracle
@rose epoch did you have more questions?
rose epoch
1/ <https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/object#customer_object-next_invoice_se...
hm, what is this doing excatly?
ionic oracle
it's telling you what the next number will be which is what you were asking
rose epoch
it's telling you what the next number will be which is what you were asking
but why does it is on a customer object and even POST request?
i dont understand this
you know I am migrating my paypal users and when I cannot set the next invoice number, all my invoices will get broken
ionic oracle
That's literally what this is about?
https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/customize#invoice-number did you look at the docs I mentioned?
rose epoch
i did look at all links yes
the more i look the more it is confusing me actually..
i did took a look some weeks ago and asked support but also still not really answered
ionic oracle
You're asking "can I set the next invoice number", I link you to the exact doc that says exactly how to do that and you say "doesn't work, I read I'm confused"
what part exactly is confusing you about that specific section in the doc?
rose epoch
im asking 3 questions maybe lets start again with 1
so there is 2 type of invoice numbers i can see on stripe.
ionic oracle
Sorry what's the question?
rose epoch
Sorry what's the question?
Account level prefix
Customer-level prefixes
where is the difference
i have one product and the invoice numbers needs to be like 001, 002 etc
ionic oracle
It's right there again in the exact doc I gave you with detailed information for both
Please take a few minutes to carefully read this, more than once if needed, it tells you everything about it
rose epoch
Please take a few minutes to carefully read this, more than once if needed, it t...
this https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/create#create_customer-next_invoice_sequence means it is customer level prefixes which I not need. I have a digital product and I need to get/set account level prefix.
ionic oracle
Again, this is literally the second section on the page, I said to read both
I'm sorry, but I can't explain it better than our docs
rose epoch
i read both i got both, but this API link deosnt help me
ionic oracle
But we never talked about the API link yet, you said you were going back to ask questions in stages to clarify what you meant
So your question was about Customer and Account level prefixes, do you understand those?
rose epoch
yeah so i got now there is account and user prefixes, okay so good so far.
yeah i have a software product i need account level for now.
i can set the default in my dashboard but I would need to get/set it outside over API cauze I am migrating some hundreds paypal users.
ionic oracle
well if it's account level you would only do this once though right?
rose epoch
well if it's account level you would only do this once though right?
no as I said there is running paypal invoices that go in and out daily.
when I will set once the invoice number and new people come to stripe subscription it will bite the paypal invoice numbers
currently, I have invoice numbers in my database
and on each invoice I do +1
ionic oracle
okay then this is just impossible to do on Stripe today
rose epoch
okay then this is just impossible to do on Stripe today
so i can't migrate to stripe properly? really?
i cant believe that
such a huge company doenst offer such basic things
ionic oracle
