Hello again! Yeah, you can add custom fields to an Invoice: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/update#update_invoice-custom_fields

#

Where do these appear in the final invoice?

#

(And hi again to you as well.)

#

I think they appear toward the top of the PDF, if that's what you mean?

#

I am asking where on the page, yes.

#

Something that we're looking to do is have different prices for different durations of committment. E.g., if customer wants 6+months they pay less per month.

#

So I have different prices for the same product. They are named, e.g., "Month-to-month" or "For a 6-month committment". But these names don't appear on the invoice.

#

Correct. If you want different things to appear on the Invoice you need separate Products.

#

Ideally we'd like to include all sorts of per-product metadata on the invoice because the customers like seeing it. For example, the date the product was ordered or duration or even perhaps quote or reference numbers.

#

4 fields of 30 characters each will probably not be enough room for that kind of info.

#

I worry that making separate products for each of these situations would end up being quite messy.

#

It would be much more intuitive for that info to be stored with the subscription item.

#

That's a known issue (including more line item detail on Invoies). We're working on it, but no ETA for changes. In the meantime the workarounds we've talked about above are your best bet.
