hi, thanks for taking a look

Can you share the request ID for the request where you got that error?
mossy spoke
request id: req_p4tV7NAufpaXlT

So in your referral program, is it possible that the resulting invoice will have a negative amount? Or would it always be positive (just with a slight discount)?
Only asking because I see that's a test request
mossy spoke
yeah, that's a test to see how I would apply that discount. No, the invoice can never be negative, max 0. We have checks in place
If they have $100 credit and use $80 to pay the subscription that costs $80 they will have $20 for another product still.

thanks so much

So customer credit balances looks to be the best way to achieve this with automatic tax: https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/customer/balance?dashboard-or-api=api

I thought about that, and the only problem I see is that we lose the benefit of adding a description to the discount so the user can know that the earned credit was used on the invoice. I'll chat with my team and see what they think

sounds good!
mossy spoke
quick question, prorations will work even though those are negative amounts, right?
surreal nacelle
Not sure what you mean by that. There's no proration of invoice items
mossy spoke
for the subscription I mean
surreal nacelle
I'm sorry I don't know what that could mean
mossy spoke
no worries, I'm still testing. Thanks again for the response!

Sure let me know if you see something off and I can look at a concrete example
