Hello! Can you share the price ID you've created?

What's your goal here? Just to be able to create a USD invoice?
Automatic currency conversion is somethign that would only be relevant for checkout/paymetn links so it wouldn't apply to your floww wher eyou're just creating an invoice
gentle urchin
oh ok, so i guess how do i fall back to USD without having to manually specify that in the invoice creation?
i think eventually we will provide multiple price points in different currencies, so i believe stripe auto detects that based on the customers default currency, but if we don't have a pricepoint for that currency, is there a way to fall back to USD?

Just to clarify things here - the main issue is that this customer that you're creating an invoice for already has a default currency of cad. If you want to generate invoices that are NOT in that default currency you have to specify that during invoice and invoice item creation (see https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/multi-currency-customers for some more details)

ok, so basically i have to do some work on my end to figure out if the customer has a default currency and if we have a pricepoint that matches it
ie: stripe won't automatically take care of that for me
quick aspen
Correct - if a currency isn't specified the invoice will be created in the default_currency and you'll only be able to add prices/invoice items in that same currency
gentle urchin
ok thanks for the clarification... does this also apply to subscriptions (via elements?)
ie: do i have to figure out if i have a price_id in the customer's currency?
quick aspen
Subscriptions are slightly different - if you already have a subscription in one currency we don't allow you to create subscriptions in different currencies
