When a Price is archived it is no longer capable of being interacted with. You are right that the docs do not call this out and I will raise that internally

But people can still be billed for their subscription.

Is there an alternative way to tell a user how much they will be billed on their next invoice with taxes?

You can automatically send emails to your customers reminding them of upcoming renewals in the Dashboard: https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/automatic

That will tell them how much they'll be charged with the taxes included?

Ah, no sorry it will not

Our legal people have a preference that users know how much they'll be charged in advance lest they think we're doing a price increase (which requires advance notice, legally). We were using the upcoming invoice API to try and indicate that since the base price for the subscription doesn't include taxes.

Is the recommended approach to just list the subscription price with '+Tax' or something?

[rain jay]

Unfortunately that isn't something I can advise on. You could make a Price record that is inclusive (the amount includes tax) but I don't know that it would help in this case.

Or I guess another way to phrase it, should this API be updated to allow for archived prices now that Stripe has tax support which requires calculation that only upcoming invoice can do?

[rain jay]

I can raise that feedback internally.

Thanks!
