👋 happy to help

#

I'm not sure this is possible

#

you can only preview the next invoice of a subscription

#

actually, you can but you'd have to use the same API (upcoming invoices) as if it's not related to the subscription in question

#

and pass in https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/upcoming#upcoming_invoice-invoice_items and https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/upcoming#upcoming_invoice-subscription_start_date

Stripe API reference – Retrieve an upcoming invoice – curl

Yeah, I tried that, and it almost worked, except it fails with a "The price specified is inactive." error if the existing subscription uses a price that has now been archived.

#

yes that's one of the caveats

#

I don't really think there's a workaround, unless you use price_data instead of price ID

raven geyser Jun 21, 2023, 8:29 AM

#

oh, interesting, i can try that.

#

thanks for that idea

#

by the way, do you happen to know how the Billing Portal does this?

ancient anchor Jun 21, 2023, 8:34 AM

#

our internal pages (Dashboard, Billing Portal, etc) don't necessarily use the API

raven geyser Jun 21, 2023, 8:36 AM

#

OK, good to know. Otherwise my next suggestion would have been to open source the Billing Portal 🙂

#

Thanks for your help!

let me know if you need any more help

#

I tried the priceData idea, I think it works. Thanks for that idea! No more help needed in this thread.

glad to hear that
