👋 Hi there, Happy to help!
You can create/add an invoice item to an existing invoice
https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoiceitems/create#create_invoiceitem-invoice
You can follow this full guide in order to create an Invoice and then add Invoice Item to it:
https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/integration/quickstart

I see, how does it work? Do I call stripe.create.invoice then stripe.create.invoice item?
or can I do them both?
trail spade
you do each call separately, in the guide I shared above explains that step by step
trail spade
Np!
ashen token
can I ask one more thing?
My invoice is not charging automatically:
// Create an Invoice
const invoice = await stripe.invoices.create({
customer: req.body.customerId,
collection_method: 'charge_automatically',
auto_advance: true,
});
// Create an Invoice Item with the Price, and Customer you want to charge
const invoiceItem = await stripe.invoiceItems.create({
customer: req.body.customerId,
price: req.body.oneTimePriceId,
invoice: invoice.id,
metadata: {
initialQtyPaid: req.body.initialQtyPaid,
subscriptionPriceId: req.body.subscriptionPriceId,
lengthOfStaty: req.body.lengthOfStay,
nextInvoiceDate: req.body.nextInvoiceDate,
checkoutDate: req.body.checkoutDate,
}
});
};

Correct, you need to finalise it
ashen token
oh!
like this?:
const invoice = await stripe.invoices.create({
customer: req.body.customerId,
collection_method: 'charge_automatically',
auto_advance: true,
});
// Create an Invoice Item with the Price, and Customer you want to charge
const invoiceItem = await stripe.invoiceItems.create({
customer: req.body.customerId,
price: req.body.oneTimePriceId,
invoice: invoice.id,
metadata: {
initialQtyPaid: req.body.initialQtyPaid,
subscriptionPriceId: req.body.subscriptionPriceId,
lengthOfStaty: req.body.lengthOfStay,
nextInvoiceDate: req.body.nextInvoiceDate,
checkoutDate: req.body.checkoutDate,
}
});
const finalize = await stripe.invoices.finalizeInvoice(invoice.id);
Yep
storm umbra
Depends, really. We can void/cancel them after X amount of failed payments if configured. Otherwise indefinitely until manually voided
storm umbra
In most cases, yes: https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/integration/workflow-transitions#finalized

alright, thanks!

Hi may I know the timezone followed in stripe dashboard?
storm umbra
It'll be localised to your account/country timezone
ashen token
so, the time being referenced is set to the timezone of the person who set it up?
storm umbra
It's set here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/account
ashen token
I see.
here's my issue btw. I set a schedulesSubscription on Jun 1 and it's appearing as May 31 😅
storm umbra
Can you share the sub_sched_xxx ID?
The API timestamps use UTC, so depending on the Dashboard setting it may show as a different date
ashen token
sure let me share it
sub_sched_1MQqvqDTISXyBnp6HudAp8ms
it shows this:
but i want june 01 and july 01
storm umbra
So you set it to 1685577600 via the API (which is 2023-06-01 00:00:00 UTC). I guess your Dashboard timezone is behind UTC
ashen token
yeah, how to make our dashboard in utc?
storm umbra
I sent you the link above
storm umbra
Kind of obvious from that screenshot, no? 😄
ashen token
yeah I just think with my hand on that part coz I got tired today ahha sorry
storm umbra
all good
