Hi there!

chilly imp
#

Happy to add clarification if needed

#

Hello Soma

toxic wraith
#

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "not to include confirmed payment intents that are confirmed/paid on the Connect account Y in the invoice". Can you share a concrete example of this? When you create an invoice, it automatically create a new PaymentIntent for you, it doesn't include any existing PaymentIntent.

We are a b2b business and our implementation is as follows:

for each partner we create a customer.. for every purchase made through our API or dashboard ( we don't charge the end-user ) we add an invoice item.. at the end of the month we just email our partner the invoice

we had a use case that our partner wanted us to be the merchant of record.. so we recommended they use Stripe Connect and to create direct charges on the account

Now we have 2 sources of data ( payments intents under the connected account ) & ( invoice items under the main account )

Is there a way not to include the confirmed payment intents under the connected account in the customer's invoice? we would like to inoivce the partner with the dahsboard/test purchases but not the charges that are confirmed on the connect account

#

Happy to share example & images if this is not clear

You can create invoiceitem that represents these PaymentIntents, but there is no way to link those PaymentIntents to the invoice.

#

( invoice items under the main account )
Why not using invoices for all cases. You can use Invoice for connect also

#

one image is customer Y under CELITECH account

and the 2nd image is Celitech-Y

#

the invoice items under CELITECH customer can be from multiple sources ( API, dashboard, ) .. and we would like not to include the invoice items that were successfuly charges on the connect account

#

So that's not possible.

#

You can't link a PaymentIntent to an Invoice.

chilly imp
#

you mean invoice item?

cursive rivet
#

You can use invoice items with Invoice but not linking PaymentIntent to an Invoice.

chilly imp
#

I got your point, I dont want to link them

I would just like to filter our invoice items that are paid in the connected account from the customer

#

Do you have an idea how to do that?

Can you clarify the flow a bit more please

In general if you want to fetch resources (Invoice, PaymentIntents, Customer) of a Connected Account from a Platform Account, you can use the Stripe Header authentication (https://stripe.com/docs/connect/authentication#stripe-account-header)

const stripe = require('stripe')('PLATFORM_ACCOUNT_SECRET_KEY');

const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create(
  {
    amount: 1000,
    currency: 'usd',
    automatic_payment_methods: {
      enabled: true,
    },
  },
  {
    stripeAccount: '{{CONNECTED_ACCOUNT_ID}}',
  }
);

The PaymentIntent will be created for the Connected Account. This is valid most of Stripe APIs.

#

Now you can search for the invoices created on your Connected Account using the same approach.

chilly imp
#

the payment intents are created in the connected account, all the customers and their invoices are under our main account

#

in the connected account its immediate settlement using the application_fee feature .. so we can send our customer directly their markup

cursive rivet
#

Can you share a resourceId that you want to fetch/search from the Connected Account ?

chilly imp
#

Sure, the payment intent under our connect account: pi_3NAOIVHilKDY4Svv1TB1ph9V

should not be included in the invoice items of customer: cus_MW6nGT5aFeJj33

#

hopefully this is a bit more clear

#

because we did immediate settlement for the payment intent ( so we dont want to include it in the monthly invoice for the same customer under our main account )

the monthly invoice should include everything else ( test purchases without connect & dashboard purchases )

cursive rivet
#

Sure, the payment intent under our connect account: pi_3NAOIVHilKDY4Svv1TB1ph9V
So you want to search for this PaymentIntent?

chilly imp
#

and for all payment intents in "Succeeded" status, i should not include/remove them from the customer's invoice?

cursive rivet
chilly imp
#

I agree regarding having a standard flow,

but yeah we would like to charge them for all other invoice items that are not in "Succeeded" status on the Connect account

#

Is there a way to detect which invoice item is linked to a payment intent? so we can remove it if its in "Succeeded" status?

How are you linking invoice items to a Paymentintent in your integration/sytem?

#

for stripe side, you can't achieve this, because invoice items are still pending in your case and are issued only at the end of the month

chilly imp
#

Currently, they are not being linked, so it's hard for us to differentiate between the two ( to filter them out etc )

I'm reaching out to see if there's any possible feature/solution from Stripe's end that can help

But i agree on the part that they should be linked

cursive rivet
#

Nope if you don't link them in your itnegration, there's no way to link them in Stripe. I think one option to add metadata (uniq id) in the invoiceitem in your side, add same metadata in the PaymentIntent object (same uniq id) and then search and match to see if there is a match

chilly imp
#

We actually came to a very similar conclusion, we just thought that maybe you have something from your end that can help.

otherwise, I appreciate the metadata approach, do have any other solution in your mind that can work? we thought about saving purchases to the payment intent map.. and based on a cron job we can create invoice items for purchases that are unpaid

cursive rivet

I think also you can create the invoiceItem at the end of the month for only unpaid PaymentIntent.

chilly imp
#

much appreciated, I believe the conversation was really helpful
