Thank you, checking in to that request

#

When testing this in the Test mode, I'm unable to replicate this. req_1TQMbHsWKImy3Z

#

Is there a setting we missed?

Unfortunately I am having trouble looking up that request at the moment. Can you tell me more about what you are trying to do here? Are you using pending updates and running in to some error? https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/pending-updates

Pending updates

Learn how to handle payment failures when updating subscriptions.

#

That's precisely what i'm doing in my request

#

In the error I get this response:

#

The only difference is that the test user has the stupid ACH Credit Transfer defaulted against our will lol

#

So are you just looking to not prevent updates without payment? If you remove the pending update code, you should still be able to charge for the update, it will just happen automatically whether the payment succeeds or not

#

We want the pending update so that it creates an invoice. We don't care if the user has a payment method or not as we have to handle some external payment gateway (out of band payments).

Hi there 👋 taking over for @mossy plume

Give me a few minutes to get caught up.

#

Real quick. If you change proration behavior to none will it allow you to make the request?

lethal ginkgo Nov 2, 2022, 8:56 PM

#

I can certainly try, however won't prevent the desired effect of allowing us to ~~charge~~ invoice the user for the prorated upgrade?

neat acorn Nov 2, 2022, 9:00 PM

#

AH, right. Apologies, that would indeed prevent you from invoicing the customer

#

Does it still complain if there is a sufficient credit balance? I don't think there's a way to get around having a valid Payment Method, but I'll ask internally once I know that adjusting the credit balance doesn't work

#

It instantly approves the payment if we do that.

#

The downside is that we use the Stripe Invoice to attribute out of band payments, which is a chicken and egg problem

#

And the gateway we use certainly isn't a PAL when they PAY, because the time between the payment and webhook to confirm it can be quite extended. We'd have to perform significant engineering to handle a deposit and the apply changes. 😦

#

I wonder if we can work around this by setting collection_method to send_invoice and then instantly setting it back. 🤔
