Hi there, a statement descriptor is usually associated with a payment (via PaymentIntent or Charges API).

Are you talking about the 1 dollars charge that appears in customer's bank statement as a result of card authorization?

[fair path]

Hi Jack, i'm talking about the statement descriptor that will show up on our customers' bank or credit card statements.
Our logic flow is create a setup intent object when customer visit our payment page. Then user input card information and click Purchase. When click Purchase, confirmSetupIntent method will be called and a payment method id will be returned. Then we create stripe customer and subscription in our backend server.

My expectation is i can have dynamic statement descriptor in our stripe subscription

OK. I think I understand your requirement. It's more about the invoice payments rather than SetupIntent

You should listen to invoice.created event, and in the event handling, retrieve the PaymentIntent that associated with the invoice and update the statement_descriptor for non-card payments (https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/update#update_payment_intent-statement_descriptor) or statement_descriptor_suffix for card payments (https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/update#update_payment_intent-statement_descriptor_suffix)

Hi jack, I saw that statement_descriptor and statement_descriptor_suffix only available with payment intent right ? because i am using setup intent instead.

[gentle crater]

Yes you are right, as I explained earlier, statement descriptors are associated with payments.

[fair path]

ya so because I'm using setup intent so I can't implement your approach?

[gentle crater]

No, you can't set a statement descriptor in a setupIntent because a setupIntent doesn't create payments.

I believe my earlier suggestion can solve your problem, take a look and let me know if you have any questions.

ok Jack, last question, as i read in stripe api documentation, payment_intent property in Invoice object will be generated when the invoice is finalized event though i'm using setup intent flow, right? So i just need to listen invoice.created event and update the statement_descriptor_suffix in that PaymentIntent , right?

[gentle crater]

Yes you are right, the invoice is created and finalized by Stripe.

thanks a lot, Jack 😃
