Hi, taking a look here.

You can customize your invoice number, https://support.stripe.com/questions/customize-your-invoice-number and https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/customize#invoice-numbering-schemes.

When creating the customer, you can use the prefix for adding a custom invoice number: https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/create#create_customer-invoice_prefix

already gone through all of that

problem is i do not have an invoice prefix

i just have directly the number

You'd need to add this prefix, alternatively, you can add a metadata in the invoice: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-metadata

i do not have an prefix for my invoices though....

yeah metadata but its not clean :/

sadly why not stripe supports such basic features?

We do, I just shared the links above. For new customer, you can add the prefix moving forward: https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/create#create_customer-invoice_prefix

From the Dashboard, you can review this document: https://support.stripe.com/questions/customize-your-invoice-number

i already gone through that

but it seems i can't specifiy just an individual invoice number on an invoice

i need to get any reference from my settings which do not work for my case

in which only metadata is left which is a very bad way to be honest

You need to make the settings, this gives you control.
