Hi there, how can I help?

trim relic May 3, 2023, 5:36 AM

#

Can you tell me how to create an immediate invoice just after a subscription is upgraded?

misty mica May 3, 2023, 5:37 AM

#

As per the doc, Stripe will invoice immediately if proration_behavior is set to "always_invoice",

trim relic May 3, 2023, 5:38 AM

#

That's right, But the invoice for proration is attached to the next billing date which means that it is involved in the upcoming invoice.

#

I also set "payment_collection" param to "charge_automatically"

misty mica May 3, 2023, 5:39 AM

#

What's the invoice ID so that I can take a look?

trim relic May 3, 2023, 5:39 AM

#

One sec.

#

Both IDs are invoice item ID, not invoice ID (in_xxx). Could you share the invoice ID created after you update the subscription?

trim relic May 3, 2023, 5:56 AM

#

ok, let me send you again

#

And I'm working in test mode.

snow fog May 3, 2023, 6:03 AM

#

I can't find DCBA4AD7-0363 in your account: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/invoices

Can you share the invoice ID starting with in_xxx?

trim relic May 3, 2023, 6:06 AM

#

It's in pending invoice now.

#

I think it means that the instance is not created yet?

misty mica May 3, 2023, 6:06 AM

#

Or can you share with me the subscription ID?

trim relic May 3, 2023, 6:06 AM

#

okay okay

#

Thanks, I don't see you've made a update request with proration_behavior set to "always_invoice"

trim relic May 3, 2023, 6:12 AM

#

??

#

But the problem is that I've did it..

misty mica May 3, 2023, 6:12 AM

#

Can you share with me the request ID?

trim relic May 3, 2023, 6:12 AM

#

One sec.

#

So you mean that I didn't update the subscription with proration_behavior set to "always_invoice"?

misty mica May 3, 2023, 6:14 AM

#

You are right.

trim relic May 3, 2023, 6:14 AM

#

Can I share my code with you?

#

I really did it.

misty mica May 3, 2023, 6:14 AM

#

Sure

trim relic May 3, 2023, 6:14 AM

#

okay

#

one sec

#

return this.stripe.subscriptions.create({
customer: customerId,
items,
coupon: coupon || undefined,
collection_method: 'charge_automatically',
proration_behavior: 'always_invoice',
payment_settings: { payment_method_types: ['card'], save_default_payment_method: 'off' },
payment_behavior: 'allow_incomplete', // allow subscription even if payment failed
});

#

This is the code in which I've created that subscription.

misty mica May 3, 2023, 6:20 AM

#

Did you also set proration_behavior: 'always_invoice' when updating the subscription?

trim relic May 3, 2023, 6:20 AM

#

No

#

Should I?

#

And also set "collection_method" to 'charge_automatically'?

#

And all other attributes again?

#

??

#

Hi @misty mica

misty mica May 3, 2023, 6:30 AM

#

You need to specify proration_behavior: 'always_invoice' when updating the subscription

trim relic May 3, 2023, 7:18 AM

#

Thanks, it's working fine for now.
I have one more question. I'm currently using stripe test visa card and is there any way to manage the balances so that I can handle the exception in the case of lack of money in the connected card?
