What exactly do you mean here? You determine the payment methods for an invoice using your invoice template settings over overriding with the payment_settings:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/create#create_invoice-payment_settings-payment_method_types
https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/invoice

yes, but until you finalize the payment_method_types is nil
so I don't know what payment_method_types will be supported

Is the payment_method_types property on the invoice's payment intent filled out?
hollow wing
and I can't change it after it's finalized
for example, i created this invoice with the API in_1Mbrt4F6KG2nMs1lgV69yeLx
it's a draft invoice and the payment_method_types is nil
now if i wanted to show my user a list of payment method types to choose from, I have no way to tell what I can give them.

Oh, before it is finalized. Have you tried to retrieve it as an upcoming invoice? https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/upcoming
hollow wing
I didn’t try that but let me see
how would I even do that
i can't give that an invoice
and when I give it the customer for the invoice it says there is nothing because I assume that only works for invoice items that aren't attached to an invoice
outer carbon
Good question, looking in to this.
As far as I can see, you might have to either recreate the invoice items in that call's invoice_items array
hollow wing
i don't understand what you mean
you're saying to call upcoming with the items from the draft invoice?
doesn't matter either way
the payment_method_types is still nil
outer carbon
Darn, thanks for checking. Apologies that I didn't get to try that call myself. Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to know this for sure on an invoice before it is finalized then.
