Unfortunately, Checkout Session doesn't support period on its line_items

The workaround is to create ad-hoc price using price_data and has its product name with the timestamp

This one, correct? https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items-price_data-product_data
So I append it to line_items.price_data.product_data.name? or can I append it to line_items.price_data.product_data.description?

for context, I'm trying to comply with Japan's invoice regulation here https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/japan-config-guide

Thanks for sharing. description isn't shown in the invoice, so the timestamp should be appended to the name

I just reading it for a bit, if I were to use price_data, will it leads to creation of new Price object? We already have a object and we rely on that to fulfill orders,

[deep basin]

Yup! price_data will create an one-time price object

With existing price ID, I'm afraid there is no good way to add time duration with Checkout Session integration

I'd recommend using Invoice in this case

I see. I already implemented Invoice in my case, but would like to add credit card method as well. Will there be any update that supports this in future?

[deep basin]

Invoice should support card payment. Can you share an example Invoice (in_xxx) which you don't see card as a payment method?

In the invoice creation request, it specified to accept customer_balance payment method only: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_aJvfJvlcMTh500

  "payment_settings": {
    "payment_method_types": {
      "0": "customer_balance"
    }
  },

You can either:

• remove the payment_method_types and it will pick up the payment method settings in https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/invoice; OR
• add card in payment_method_types

ah, okay will do that. Thank you!

[deep basin]

No problem! Happy to help 😄

[true narwhal]

sorry actually one more question. is it possible to manually generate invoice after checkout session is done? is it recommended?

[deep basin]

Creating an invoice manually through Stripe after completing checkout session is not supported

[true narwhal]

Ah okay, thanks again
