Hi there

When you create a Sub you shouldn't be using pending_if_incomplete

See: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-payment_behavior

What you want is default_incomplete

Then you will have 23 hours to pay the initial Invoice

Subscription is created with default_incomplete

What I wrote above is about Subscription Items object

Ah sorry

Yeah just saw that

Which I want to attach to existing subscription

Moving too fast 🙂

So the issue with the above is your proration_behavior actually

Overall no, you can't do what you are looking for in terms of having pending here afaik

Let me look if there is any workaround here for what you are trying to do

[still thistle]

Ok thanks

Overall what I need - is to create a subscription item for a subscription w/o payment method attached, and mark it paid out_of_band after some time

Can you show me an example Sub ID so I can see exactly what you are doing?

[still thistle]

Yea, will create a clean one in a minute

Thanks looking

Yeah overall this just isn't going to be possible since pending_updates with always_invoice generates a charge attempt so you hit the validation error of no paymentmethod. The workaround here would be to create a one-off invoice and associate it to the Sub and turn auto_advance to false for that one-off invoice so that it doesn't attempt to charge. Then you can mark it paid out of band.

Okay, got it

Thanks
