Hello what is your question?

versed citrus Jul 12, 2023, 3:13 PM

#

I am using stripe.checkout.sessions.create and using subscription mode
I have done subscription yesterday at 7:30 , today for the same customer its showing draft there

green trail Jul 12, 2023, 3:15 PM

#

Can you send me the customer's ID? (cus_123)

versed citrus Jul 12, 2023, 3:20 PM

#

cus_OFCRdlOk8friZy

#

This is the customer id

green trail Jul 12, 2023, 3:22 PM

#

Thank you

#

What can be the issue here

#

Sorry the timing is 8:30,

green trail Jul 12, 2023, 3:32 PM

#

I see two invoices on that customer. One was created yesterday and has been finalized and paid[1] the other was created half an hour ago and will be finalized in 30 minutes[2]
[1] https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/invoices/in_1NSi30AhmbaRjrYUjogW0Ayh
[2] https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/invoices/in_1NT4YIAhmbaRjrYUBUlW85F0

#

It is expected for invoices to be in a draft state for an hour before finalizing automatically

#

Though you can finalize them earlier if you would like https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/finalize

#

Also you may find our Test Clocks useful, they let you simulate time passing rather than waiting for things to happen in test mode https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks

#

Okay so today its an hour late and tomorrow also an hour late from today's time

#

I want to finalize early like on what time it was created

green trail Jul 12, 2023, 3:43 PM

#

Then you will need to finalize them early in the dashboard or with the API call that I linked to https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/finalize

Stripe API reference – Finalize an invoice – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

How to do in api call

#

green trail Jul 12, 2023, 3:47 PM

#

Are you using the API already? That link shows how to make the call with each of our client libraries

versed citrus Jul 12, 2023, 3:49 PM

#

In docs stripe.invoices.finalizeInvoice method is ther

#

Do i need to use it?

opal zodiac Jul 12, 2023, 3:51 PM

#

👋 stepping in here as Pompey needs to step away

#

Yep that method is how you would manually finalize a renewal Invoice without waiting the 1 hour that it would be in draft

versed citrus Jul 12, 2023, 3:52 PM

#

I am using webhook also

#

So i have to use the above method to finalize early inside webhook event?

opal zodiac Jul 12, 2023, 3:52 PM

#

Yep

#

You would listen for invoice.created

#

Then you would use that method if it isn't the first Invoice for a Subscription

versed citrus Jul 12, 2023, 3:54 PM

#

Okay thanks.
Like i created subscription today at 8:30 , tomorrow it will wait for an hour and will finalize at 9:30 , so day after tomorrow it will finalize at 9:30 or wait for an hour?

opal zodiac Jul 12, 2023, 3:55 PM

#

Each time would be 8:30 creation and 9:30 finalization

versed citrus Jul 12, 2023, 3:55 PM

#

Okay thanks for updating.
