Hi there, sure you can customize the invoice, the details is here https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/customize

If you just want to add a footer in the invoice, you can configure it in Dashboard, no coding is needed.

[leaden dagger]

this is what i mean

[limpid tangle]

I don't see an option to add such checkbox in the hosted invoice page.

[leaden dagger]

yes i know - that's why i'm asking if one of my developers is able to alter the code and do that

[limpid tangle]

Not possible, there's no API/options for you to add it in ,the available customization options are here https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/hosted-invoice-page#page-customization.

[leaden dagger]

do you have any suggestions then

i dont understand why stripe doesn't have this. it's pretty silly. EVERY payment provider has a 'agree to terms' before payment! even stripe checkout has it. i dont know why they dont have it on their invoicing

[limpid tangle]

If you think it should be a feature request, please let Stripe support know https://support.stripe.com/contact

[leaden dagger]

there's lots of people complaining about it on the internet for years - and it's never bee ndone

i was going to hire a developer to do it for me but i guess you're saying i cant?

[limpid tangle]

I just did another round of checking and I'm afraid this feature is not available. Even you hire an engineer, there's no API/options for he/she to enable it.

[leaden dagger]

so the native stripe invoices cant have anything added to them except the options that are in the settings?

[limpid tangle]

If you are talking about the hosted invoice page, these are the available customization options. https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/hosted-invoice-page#page-customization.

[leaden dagger]

yes i'm talking about hosted invoice

[leaden dagger]

another question: is it possible to hide a line item on an invoice? i want to subtract an amount but i don't want anyone to see what it's for

[limpid tangle]

Can you share with me an example?

[leaden dagger]

you see the line item 'payment plan balance'? -700$? i don't want it to be shown

it's a coupon. i am only putting it there to show the $300 total, which is the deposit due

[limpid tangle]

There's no options to hide an invoice item, but you can delete it https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoiceitems/delete?lang=ruby#delete_invoiceitem

[leaden dagger]

you can delete it but still have the calculation take place?

[leaden dagger]

i still need the -700$ to come off the $1000 product in my example. if we delete the -700$ coupon will it still run the calculation and give me 300$ total

?

[limpid tangle]

No it won't. The amount of the invoice is the sum of invoice items. if you remove -700 the amount will be 1000

[leaden dagger]

can you help me come up with a solution please

I want a 300$ deposit on a $1000 purchase.

how do i show that

[limpid tangle]

How about creating a new invoice with just a $300 invoice item?

[leaden dagger]

that's obvious but it also doesn't make any sense

if an item costs $1000 you shouldn't issue an invoice showing it only costs $300

the item is $1000. and you are collecting $300 towards it

that way the customer can never claim 'oh i thought the item only cost $300'

are your invoices getting worked on/upgraded frequently? some of the things i'm asking are VERY OBVIOuS and should have been fixed/upgraded already

[leaden dagger]

do you have any other suggestions?

[limpid tangle]

No.

[leaden dagger]

can you please ask for an 'i agree to terms of service' option to be added to the hosted invoices?

pass the information along to your team?

[limpid tangle]
