Hi! Let me help you with this.
I think it's best to communicate such important information separately by email, because it might be overlooked on the invoice.
midnight drum
I agree. Yet our customers specifically ask for that information on the invoice.
We have a lot of cases, were the customers
A. Pay automatically by card
-> Get the invoice
B. Pay again
= Double Paid Invoice
And we want to find a way to include that information in an invoice.

You can add some text on the footer: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/update#update_invoice-footer
Or in custom_fields: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/update#update_invoice-custom_fields
midnight drum
And this can be done variable?
pale summit
The logic is up to your application.
midnight drum
Okay, but if we can determine if paid = true, then we can relate to that and change the content accordingly?
pale summit
You want to know if the invoice was paid?
midnight drum
We want to show if the invoice, that the customer receive is already paid.
pale summit
Why would they receive an invoice if it was paid?
I need more details about your integration to understand how to help. Are you sending the invoices manually?
Or it is generated by a Subscription?
midnight drum
Give me a moment please! 🙂
pale summit
Sure

Is there a status between draft and open for webhooks?
I.e. "paid" but the invoice is not yet finalized?
midnight drum
okay
How can we show custom fields in the footer?
or show custom fields on the invoice at all?
I dont find that option in our invoice templates

How are you creating your invoices?
midnight drum
via subscriptions
frosty axle
Okay yeah custom fields aren't supported yet on Subscriptions.
We already have a feature request open for this and do hope to build it in the future
midnight drum
So even with API Call not possible?
frosty axle
Are you using charge_automatically subscriptions?
midnight drum
default I think
frosty axle
Yeah then no you can't update the Invoices on a Subscription to set custom fields since it is immediately finalized
midnight drum
Do you think a workaround would be configuring the customer before issuing the invoice?
frosty axle
What are you trying to accomplish here exactly?
