Hi there, so basically you want to add a description to the invoice before sending it out to the customers?

[toxic goblet]

That's right. The description that I gave while creating subscription should reflect in all invoices created under that subscription.

Thanks for the waiting, you can listen to the invoice.created event and update its description (https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/update?lang=cli#update_invoice-description) before finalizing it.

[toxic goblet]

Okay. So that's the only option? To change each invoice when they are created? Just wanted to confirm.

As a suggestion, I think there should be an option to make the subscription description reflect in invoices.

Because as per documentation there is only 1 hour window after stripe creates the invoice and before it's finalized. If we miss that window, the invoice will go out with out that description.

Can you send me a subscription ID so that I can take look?

[toxic goblet]

Done. Shared via DM.

[nova pendant]

Thanks. I see that the invoice already contain the product name, is it possible for you to include the app name in the product name? or must you share the same product across different apps?

[toxic goblet]

App name cannot be included in Product name, as that means against each app that uses my product, I will need a stripe product.

So I have share the same product across apps.

Hmm, one sec, let me try something.

Well, I've tried adding a description to a subscription when creating it, but the description is not passed along to the invoice.

So I think the only way is to update the invoice's description as I mentioned earlier.

[toxic goblet]

Ah okay.

But I think passing the subscription description to the invoice should be considered by Stripe. That has a use case.
