Hello 👋
Not sure I completely follow the usecase here, do you have an example in mind?
knotty pilot
basically on a subscription that is set by a create checkout session, how can I add a late fee on a missed or failed payment? not sure if that makes more sense or not
this is my code attempt so far
`else if (eventType === 'invoice.payment_failed' && data.object.attempt_count === 1) {
try {
const invoiceObj = data.object;
const invoice = await stripe.invoices.retrieve(invoiceObj.id);
if (invoice.metadata.lateFeeAdded === 'true') {
return;
}
const lateFee = await stripe.invoiceItems.create({
customer: invoice.customer,
amount: 3500,
currency: 'usd',
description: "Late Fee",
});
console.log(lateFee);
const updatedInvoice = await stripe.invoices.create({
customer: invoice.customer,
metadata: { lateFeeAdded: "true" },
description: "Invoice with Late Fee",
auto_advance: true,
});
await stripe.invoiceItems.create({
invoice: updatedInvoice.id,
price: lateFee.price.id,
});
const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.retrieve(
invoice.payment_intent
);
console.log('paymentIntent', paymentIntent);
} catch (error) {
console.log(`Error adding late fee invoice item: ${error}`);
return res.status(500).send(error.message);
}
}`
Okay, let me summarize to make sure I didn't miss anything.
1/ You're creating subscriptions using Checkout (which charges users payment method automatically)
2/ You're attaching it to a schedule
3/ In case an invoice fails payment,
you'd either like to add a one-time fee to the next invoice OR charge the users payment method separately?

points 1-3 are correct yes. as for your last statement, if that is the only way to do it sure, but i was wondering if it was at all possible to add the fee to the current invoice that has failed? granted i read that finalized invoiced can not be updated.

Yeah unfortunately you can't update finalized invoices. It would either have to be a separate charge or a new invoice item for the next invoice.
We have a doc on how you can add the late fee as an invoice item to the future invoice here
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/invoices/subscription#adding-upcoming-invoice-items
You'd want to create that when you receive invoice.payment_failed

Ok, thank you very much. Will reach out again if i have more questions
