An invoice will have one payment intent because a payment intent

#

https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-payment_intent

#

It's not an array, it's a string property

#

Oh, weird. For some reason I thought an Invoice could have multiple

#

Need to shuffle some things on my end, then. Thanks 🙂

#

Is it a 1-1 relationship then?

acoustic glacier Nov 11, 2022, 4:59 PM

#

Yup

#

Since Payment Intents can be retried to collect payment, you only need 1

#

Great, thanks!

Happy to help 🙂

#

Sorry, one more q: it is possible to have an Invoice without a PaymentIntent, right? As in, Stripe generates an invoice for a subscription, does it create the PaymentIntent then as well?

acoustic glacier Nov 11, 2022, 5:13 PM

#

Yes

#

But if you use a trial period it will be created with a Setup Intent

#

allowing you to collect payment method information without charging the customer

#

Gotcha, so just to confirm:

Invoice and PaymentIntent are 1 to 1, but the PaymentIntent can be None/null, as in the case of trials where the invoice would have a SetupIntent instead

#

Oh, I guess if an Invoice has zero amount due, it also wouldn't have a PaymentIntent

acoustic glacier Nov 11, 2022, 5:20 PM

#

Bingo. That's when it usually has a Setup Intent. The invoice associated with a trial will have a 0 amount
