May be I just need to create an invoice items specifying the **customer ID ** and it will automatically add the items to next scheduled invoice, right!
frank steeple
Yes, that's what I was going to recommend. Creating a invoice item now for a specific customer, and then it will be pulled automatically into the next invoice for that customer.

Got it, one more question, we have a specific customer that he has no coming invoice, do we need to create simply a charge for him, or there is an alternative?
frank steeple
I'm not sure I follow. That customer has no subscription and you want to charge him immediately?
lucid dome
no that specific customer, his subscription comes to the end of its duration by the end of the month, so he has no coming invoice in this case
frank steeple
I still don't understand. Can you clarify what you are trying to do? Do you want to charge the customer immediately?
lucid dome
yes
frank steeple
Does the customer has an existing payment method?
lucid dome
yes
frank steeple
Then you can directly create a PaymentIntent to charge the customer. You can see an example of this here: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse?platform=web#charge-saved-payment-method

Ok, when creating this PaymentIntent, does the VAT percentage be included in the amount?

Hi there 👋 I'm jumping in as my teammate needs to step away. No, I don't think Payment Intents will include tax amounts as they don't have insight into what the payment is for. If you're using Stripe Tax or Tax Rates and want those to be used, then creating a one-off Invoice would be my recommendation.
lucid dome
what do you mean with one-off invoice?
do you mean, I have to create a draft invoice and finalize it
kindred goblet
Correct, I would recommend creating a new Invoice, that is not associated with a Subscription, then finalize that Invoice and use it to process a single payment. We typically refer to them as one-off Invoices to differentiate from Invoices that are associated with Subscriptions.

hmm ok Got it, thanks for your help
