Hello!

wicked heron Aug 24, 2023, 5:12 PM

#

we wanted to do something like this, but this invoice is kinda awkward 😅

#

not sure if this was the right chat

trail lotus Aug 24, 2023, 5:12 PM

#

asking here is fine 🙂

wicked heron Aug 24, 2023, 5:13 PM

#

the unit in that image is off, since it's like parts of a host month???

trail lotus Aug 24, 2023, 5:14 PM

#

So yeah, the main issue here is that there isn't really a nice way to charge for percentages/non-integer units with our API right now and what you have right now is really the only way to do it today

wicked heron Aug 24, 2023, 5:15 PM

#

right.. so we would need to charge by the hour or something ..

#

another question is: what is the deadline for reporting all usage in a period?

#

we were worried about the 5m / 1hr after the end of the period deadline in the "report a total usage" case

👋 stepping in as karbi is going to step away

wicked heron Aug 24, 2023, 5:16 PM

#

obv that works pretty well if stripe is summing the usage

#

👍

#

There is a short window for clock drift: https://stripe.com/docs/products-prices/pricing-models#reporting-usage

#

But really you should not rely on that as we don't guarantee any window and you should report usage within the period

wicked heron Aug 24, 2023, 5:18 PM

#

ok

#

so if we only report daily, we might see extra usage reported the next day I suppose?

whole harness Aug 24, 2023, 5:20 PM

#

Yeah you might miss reporting for the final day of the cycle if you don't take that into account

#

one last question: is there a portal we can use for SetupIntent?

whole harness Aug 24, 2023, 5:22 PM

#

What do you mean by "a portal" exactly?

wicked heron Aug 24, 2023, 5:22 PM

#

we were appreciating the low-code of the checkout flow, but it seems like that is unavailable if we want to use SetupIntent to collect details + manual invoice generation on our end

#

whole harness What do you mean by "a portal" exactly?

call a stripe endpoint, get back a url to redirect to that will collect the information needed (billing, location for taxes)

whole harness Aug 24, 2023, 5:22 PM

#

You are using Payment Links currently?

#

Yep you would create a Checkout Session in mode: setup to do this

#

https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-mode

wicked heron Aug 24, 2023, 5:23 PM

#

👀

#

we were using a Checkout Session for the subscription setup - so I was asking how to do the same but w/o charging the card / setting up a subscription so we can do off_session charges

#

thx for the info!
