Hi
that means you are passing a customerId that doesn't exist. Or there is no pending invoicesItems for the customer

try to follow this guide step by step for creating manual Invoice:
https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/integration/quickstart

[humble ledge]

Hi Sorry, I am writing like this,

creating a subscription first, we have an use case where to create we need to create a manual invoice and customer can pay for that invoice

so when I try to call stripe.Invoice.create, getting this error

stripe.error.InvalidRequestError: Request req_oGlsMaItsDuh01: Nothing to invoice for customer

[twin idol]

That mean's there is no pending invoice for the customer

If you want to create an empty invoice try passing collection_method: 'send_invoice',

[humble ledge]

sure, will try that

[twin idol]

And then you need to add invoice items to that invoice:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoiceitems/create#create_invoiceitem-price

[humble ledge]

sorry should I create invoice first and then invoice items or create invoice with the items ?

Hi, I'm taking over my colleague. Please let me catch up

You should create invoice first, and then create items.

[humble ledge]

I am trying to create invoice like this

stripe.error.InvalidRequestError: Request req_wDWr6fhKqDVblz: Nothing to invoice for customer

[glacial forum]

Try creating items on the customer first then.

Hey, I tried like this and getting this error

stripe.error.InvalidRequestError: Request req_yx0dXuuwLfRRHz: You cannot update subscriptions with multiple plans using the deprecated /v1/customers/* endpoints. Instead, please use the /v1/customers/* endpoints to manage customers and use the /v1/subscriptions/* endpoints to manage subscriptions.

just to show what i do exactly

account_id = subscription.payment_instrument.payment_method.company_processor.data["account_id"]extra = {"stripe_account": account_id}stripe_subscription_id = subscription.processor_subscription_data["subscription_id"]stripe_subscription = stripe.Subscription.retrieve(stripe_subscription_id, **extra)

created subscription and retrieve it

stripe.Customer.modify( stripe_subscription.customer, email="[e-mail]", items=[ { "id": item.id, 'price_data': { "unit_amount": 19255, "currency": "eur", "product": item.plan.product, "recurring": { "interval": "day", } } } ], **extra)

creating customer

then trying to create manual invoice and pay from customer side

[glacial forum]

Why are you updating a Subscription with a Customer endpoint?

Please follow the suggestion of the error message and use stripe.Customer.update() method to update the email: https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/update
And stripe.Subscription.update() to update items of a Subscription: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update

[humble ledge]

no sorry, i need use the manuall invoicing, so customer will have subscriptions going on and in between we need create a invoice to which they can pay as well

[glacial forum]

In any case, the way you do this step currently is not correct, so you'll need to fix it before moving on.

[humble ledge]

so I created a subscriptions. then for creating new invoice, is there way i can manually create one and make payment to it?

[glacial forum]

Yes, you can follow this guide that explains in detail how invoices work: https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/integration

[humble ledge]

I followed that docs and created a new invoice but still getting stripe.error.InvalidRequestError: Request req_ibjJewuTdLCSXS: Nothing to invoice for customer

You are using this API version 2020-08-27, try creating an invoice item first to the customer and then create an Invoice
