Hello 👋
Typically we see users utilize the custom fields on the invoice to add this information
https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/customize#custom-fields
Thinking if there's an alternative way here
Ah we call this limitation out in our docs
https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/connect#:~:text=Invoices created on behalf of a connected account ​​don’t support%3A
Invoices created on behalf of a connected account ​​don’t support:
- Account tax IDs.
- Bank transfers payment methods, such as ACH Credit Transfer and paper checks.

Is there any control over how the custom fields and where they are rendered?
manic rain
As far as I know, it renders in the invoice header. I don't think there's a way to move it around on the invoice.

When I try to submit the custom fields I get an error: com.stripe.exception.InvalidRequestException: Received unknown parameter: custom_fields[0][Vat Number]; code: parameter_unknown; request-id: req_wDZhEdNivdoQuV
This happens when creating the invoice
And adding a custom field named "Vat Number"
manic rain
Can you try custom_fields[0]["Vat Number"]
manic rain
Ah my bad, I'm not super versed in Java as such.
Let me see if there are any examples
Can you share snippet of the code you're using to set these key/values?
twilit rover
InvoiceCreateParams invoiceParams = InvoiceCreateParams.builder()
.setCustomer(customerId)
.setCurrency("EUR")
.setCollectionMethod(CollectionMethod.CHARGE_AUTOMATICALLY)
.addDefaultTaxRate("--")
.setOnBehalfOf(providerAccountId)
.setApplicationFeeAmount(feeAmountInCents)
.setTransferData(InvoiceCreateParams.TransferData.builder().setDestination(providerAccountId).build())
.setAutoAdvance(true)
.setDefaultPaymentMethod(paymentMethodId)
.setCustomFields(Arrays.asList(InvoiceCreateParams.CustomField.builder().putExtraParam("Vat Number", "TEST").build()))
.build();
Removed the tax rate id, since public chat...

Thanks, let me ask a colleague

I got it working. Cant use "putExtraParam" method. Had to separately setName and setValue
Thanks, it shows up in the header now
manic rain
Ah nice!
