👋 happy to help

[cedar cloak]

??

Are you checking?

[fallen heath]

yes I am

[cedar cloak]

okay thanks

[fallen heath]

the customer doesn't have a invoice_settings.default_payment_method attached to them

oh I just saw that you have updated the subscription and added a default_payment_method

[cedar cloak]

yes

So i have canceled previous subscription

[fallen heath]

?

[cedar cloak]

I have created subscription->canceled it->created new subscription after billing cycle end

[fallen heath]

since it's in a test mode

[cedar cloak]

In my platform this functionlity is given that after canceling subscription If user comes to reactivate then I create new subscription

[fallen heath]

could you start over and start fresh

wait I just saw that you have created the subscription on a customer with a test clock

[cedar cloak]

yes

I am using test clock

I have advanced time to Oct 2 and then canceled subscription

[fallen heath]

could you please advance the clock for an hour?

https://stripe.com/docs/billing/invoices/subscription#:~:text=Stripe finalizes and sends the invoice in 1 hour

[cedar cloak]

I want to test monthly recurring that's why advancing for 1 month is required

[fallen heath]

I understand

but the first invoice on a subscription is not finalized before an hour of its creation time if it has an amount > 0

[cedar cloak]

But that did not happen with me first time

first time when I am creating subscription invoice is getting generated with status paid...

[fallen heath]

this happens if the amount is 0

[cedar cloak]

but how come amount is 0

[amber wraith]

Hey, taking over here. Let me know if there's any follow-up Qs I can answer!

[cedar cloak]

I have created subscription->canceled it->created new subscription after billing cycle end

Invoice generated is in draft for new subscription

[junior gate]

Do you have a specific Q?

[amber wraith]

if I can resume:
You create a subscription using a test Clock which it's time is 11/2/22, 1:35 PM, a draft invoice is created, Stripe waits 1 hour before finalizing the invoice, if you go to the invoice page (https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/invoices/in_1LY5NzSJsXH2azWQN7leX3d4), you'll see that the invoice will be finalized and charged at 11/2/22, 2:35 PM
So you need to advance the test clock one hour so that the invoice will be finalized, after that you can test recurring by advancing the test clock one month for exp

https://stripe.com/docs/billing/invoices/subscription#:~:text=Stripe finalizes and sends the invoice in 1 hour

[cedar cloak]

If test clock is not used and consider today is 11/2/2022 then also same thing will happen?

or because of test clock it is happening

[earnest pebble]

👋 I'm taking over from os4m37, catching up now

Even if test clock is not in used, Stripe will wait for 1 hour before finalising the invoice

[cedar cloak]

okay

One more thing to ask

Can I send email invoice to perticular customer using stripe?

[earnest pebble]

Yes, you can set up in https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/automatic

[cedar cloak]

this checkbox is already on in my account

but not receiving emails

[junior gate]

You won't in test mode
