Hi there, you should listen to invoice.created event so that you can add the new invoice items to the newly created invoice (https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoiceitems/create?lang=node#create_invoiceitem-invoice)

so it means, above mentiond cause is possible to achieve ?

#

how about this ?
(when ever additional charges/invoice item to be added to customer)

I'll retrive the upcoming invoice for the customer(which will already have some charges)
i'll create a invoice Item
i'll add that invoice item to upcoming invoice
will it work ?

The upcoming invoice API is just for you to preview the upcoming invoice, there's no invoice ID in the upcoming invoice object.

#

Although you can create an invoice item without specify a invoice id, I highly recommend you to specify one so that the invoice item is attached to the correct invoice so that you can prevent attaching it to a wrong invoice.

but how do I add it, when Invoice itself is not created.

#

That's why I advise you to listen to invoice.created event, this event is fired when an invoice is created and you can get the ID from the invoice object in this event
