hi! could you share the customer ID cus_xxx in question?

[quaint slate]

Sure, give me a sec...

[little oxide]

also not sure why you'd call invoice.upcoming

why not call invoice.retrieve(in_xxx) to get the specific invoice?

the upcoming invoice endpoint doesn't return a real, specific invoice, it returns a preview of what the next invoice might look like

cus_Mgrdxl4AZh6by8

[quaint slate]

Because the invoice is created by Stripe and i don't know how to access the invoice ID

(btw, the customer id i sent you is in the test mode)

[little oxide]

it would be subscription.latest_invoice for example

[quaint slate]

Okay, i'll give it a try

[little oxide]

i.e. when you create the Subscription, you have the latest_invoice field https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_JwEWGd5YMHszPq

[quaint slate]

So, how should i access a Subscription from a customer id?

[little oxide]

you could call https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/list#list_subscriptions-customer for example, or you might have saved the IDs of the customer's subscription in your database when you created it, it really depends on the context

[quaint slate]

I guess in order to avoid data drifting apart I would prefer to rely on Stripe data

Found the latest_invoice 😍

Do you have any suggestions on how to create an active card, one which should fail paying and one that should succed?

[little oxide]

generally you'd use the 'Decline after attaching' card from https://stripe.com/docs/testing#declined-payments

you can attach that card to a customer and then set it as e.g. https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/update#update_customer-invoice_settings-default_payment_method and advance time in the test clock to see the invoice payments fail

[quaint slate]

It's working!

Thank you very much

[little oxide]

great!

[quaint slate]

Just for be clear, the Subscription becomes active as soon as invoices for it have been paid, right?

[little oxide]

yep

[quaint slate]

Awesome

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
